What is the right balance in the blended learning model? (As in combining human and AI.)

At what pace and stage should we introduce AI components (possibly virtual teaching agents) to the students in our teaching?

We have all heard about the positive things for blended learning. However, I am curious to hear about the potential negative impacts and possible solutions.

Sometimes, technology can be more challenging than useful, especially for lower primary. How can we ensure technological literacy in teachers and students?

With a great range of possibilities provided by the blended learning model, are we overdoing with educational activities and content? Will the students be cognitively overloaded?

AI from what I understand, allows students to receive customised learning. To what extent will learning be personalised? How will the role of classroom teaching shift / change?

How can blended learning be effective for low progress or tactile learners?

Are there particular lesson designs (e.g. Acquisition) that are more suited for Low progress students? Is there a way to expose these learners to more complex lesson designs without intimidating them?

What are some of the strategies involved in designing effective blended learning to keep students continually engaged and their joy in learning? Does being happy and excited mean that they are having joy in learning? How do we track if they are really learning?

What are some of the questions we can ask ourselves when planning for blended learning lessons to heighten student engagement and Joy in Learning?

What do students do when they face difficulties during the lessons? AI works based on their programming. Hence, if a student encounters somewhat unconventional issues, how do the AI address it? I'm assuming the AI is a bot to guide students through the lessons for self-directed learning.

I have this presumptions that blended learning is a combination of frontal teaching and self-paced learning. Hence, what are my checklist to ensure I'm designing a blended learning lesson as compared to a typical classroom lesson?

Currently teachers have to read through every students' response to Open-Ended questions in Science to assess whether their answer shows evidence of accurate conceptual understanding. The teachers will then either address the common misconceptions to the whole class during F2F lessons or individually with students during consultations or remediation sessions.
1) What is the likelihood in the near future for AI to be able to assess students responses and give the appropriate feedback to the student automatically?
2) Can the current SLS platform support AI for assessment and feedback to students simply with the teachers keying in for each open-ended questions the model answer and explanations?
3) Can the AI figure out whether an answer is correct if its not verbatim?

# data[].attributes.body
While AI can be used to identify the 'Knows' and 'Do Not Knows' of each child and customize the curriculum to meet his/her need, can it also be used to map out the learner profile and learning style and recommend the appropriate strategies in blended learning to close the gap?

# data[].attributes.body
One model of blended learning is the "flipped classroom" where students view learning material online before attending a f2f lesson with the teacher.
1) Which model of blended learning is most appropriate students at the age level of 9 to 12 years old, considering their maturity level and learning profile?
2) Without sufficient home support, a young student may not be able to learn effectively without a teacher's guidance and scaffolding. How can an SLS lesson be designed to encourage a young student to be self-directed in his or her learning?
3) How do teachers assess the effectiveness of the lesson design of a blended learning?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Is AI = VR/AR.
2) Does AI means students need to learn a new language 'coding'
3) Does students forgo some basics concept. Eg in real life - people do not learn manual car anyone because almost 90% of car population in sg and developed countries are auto. With AI does it means certain basic concepts may be omitted for the students to learn?

# data[].attributes.body
1) Other than the 4 lesson design in SLS, will the be more lesson design coming out?
2) Does blended learning includes one to one consultation through zoom or one day in SLS a teacher will be able to see a students typing their answer in time and thus correcting the students before the students submits
3) Does differtiated lesson means different lesson design for different level of students (HA,MA,LA) at the same time. Eg teaching of fractions ( one particular group do discussion lesson design, another group do acquisition lesson design etc)

1. What is Artificial Intelligence?
2. How does implementation of AI value add to blended learning apart from its novelty nature?

1. What are some key considerations we need to take note of if we want to plan for an effective blended learning lesson?
2. We have always been encouraged and told that lesson designs that are student-led/centric are ideal. I agree that it is effective and engaging for the Mid and High Progress. However, the low progress students always seemed lost. They are often slower in understanding the lesson. If we slow down to teach these children, the MP and HP will become disengage. How can we then help these poor children?

If we use DI for our lesson, does that mean we let the MP and HP go on auto pilot mode for their learning while we channel more attention and provide more assistance to our LP? In that case, wouldn't it be similar to HBL learning for the MP and HP whereby they can actually do it at home?

1) How can Artificial Intelligence be incorporated into the Blended Learning model?
2) How can we maximize the potential of Artificial Intelligence to cater to the needs of our lower-progress students?
3) What is the potential of Artificial Intelligence in helping students deepen their learning?

# data[].attributes.body
1) How can we help our teachers who are not as technologically literate to plan for their lessons that incorporate the Blended Learning model?
2) With the incorporation of the Blended Learning model, how do we design lessons such that it maximises the joy of learning in the classroom?
3) Are there only four learning experiences for students that guide our lesson designs? What are the other learning experiences that we can base our lesson design on to maximise and deepen students' learning?

1) What are the affordances of AI that distinguishes itself from a human teacher?

2) What are the potential shortcomings of using AI in our classrooms that educators can anticipate?

# data[].attributes.body
In your paper, "The Efficacy of Nonaka's Knowledge Creation Spiral In Advancing Teacher's TPACK", your findings suggested that teachers need to develop good technology and pedagogy coupling where they should be able to relate the affordance of the app and associate the affordance with pedagogy.

Sometimes new ICT tools can inspire one to innovate pedagogy.  Occasionally I get inspired by new tools and to experiment, I design a lesson keeping a tool in mind but essentially using SLSPS to scaffold my lesson. Is this considered a poor form of designing?

# data[].attributes.body
There are students who simply do not know how to self-regulate alone or navigate for online learning. How do we help or guide parents in their involvement in facilitation of online learning for their children? There are parents who really do not know how to facilitate at home.

1) What exactly is Blended Learning – from the eyes of MOE, Teachers and Students?

2) What kind of AI are we talking about in Blended Learning? Any examples – successful and unsuccessful ones for us to learn from?

3) What kind of training does Teachers and Students have to go through to be able to implement/use AI in lessons/learning?

4) Is there any types of AI which can pick up written work from students to give feedback? Will handwriting be an issue?

5) Using AI to help give feedback/assessment for compositions is definitely a dream of many English Language teachers. Is there a possibility? Haha.

1) What exactly is Blended Learning, Student Engagement and Joy in Learning – from the eyes of MOE, Teachers and Students?

2) How are we to measure/determine if students are engaged and are experiencing Joy in Learning?

3) How can we equip Teachers and Students with the skills/process/routines needed for Blended Learning?

4) With the implementation of Blended Learning, some of our Low Progress, those without home support or ICT affordances seem to given the shorter end of the stick. They might thus fall back even more and the gap between them and the others would widen. How can we counter this and help them?

5) Any examples of DI lessons used for Blended Learning showing students engagement and joy of learning to share?
