37
AI Training data
-AI systems learn from diverse data sets during their initial training phase to acquire knowledge -where is data coming from
38
AI: Input Data
AI systems analyze incoming data -typically comes from human users (what you type into Chatgpt)
39
AI: Output Data
AI produced predictions, recommendations, or decisions (a list, an essay etc.)
40
AI Steps
1: Training Data set 2: Learning algorithm (what patterns are observed), rigorous training and testing 3: Classification (what it is, what it is not)
41
AI or not AI
1. Does it sense or observe its environment? What data was used to make this possible 2. Is it trained to make its own decisions? 3. Can it learn/adapt over time
42
Generative AI
-Creates new and transformative things -supervised (we are tagging images and building data set on what it is and what is not) -unsupervised (put in a whole bunch of data and it will classify its own patterns)
43

61
Synchronous Learning
-learning is defined and learned event where learner and instructor are in the same place at the same time
62
Asynchronous Learning
instructor facilitated -not conducted in real time, students and teacher can engage in course related activities at their convenience, not during specific coordinated class sessions
63
Models of Blending: Rotation Model
students rotate on a fixed schedule from one delivery method to the next (online, self-paced and face-2-face -face-2-face teacher oversees everything
64
Models of Blending: the MOOC Classroom
