One that intrigued me was AttentiveLearner. I was fascinated by this because it combines several Frontier themes I was interested in: AI, MOOCS, and transhumanity, .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AttentiveLearner is designed to refocus learner engagement when studying MOOCs with mobiles. So, imagine a scenario where you\u2019re watching say an instructional video for a course and a vehicle or pedestrian, suddenly and unexpectedly breaks your concentration by bumping into you or passing too closely. On your device, a front camera that tracks facial expressions indicates an interruption may have occurred. To corroborate this, at the same time, a back sensor, using physiological signal sensing technology, monitors your heart rate. If the AI determines that an interruption probably did occur, an adaptive reminder\/review function guides the learner back, to pick up what might have been missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I can really see the utility of this since mobile learning takes place in real-world contexts where interruptions will be frequent and expected. It incorporates elements of transhumanity by making the device and extension of your body and of AI since the application gets progressively smarter at recognizing when your body signals are indicating an interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An interesting question is what happens when this technology falls outside the direct control of the user. For example, would it be ethical for an employer to monitor worker productivity this way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I choose this video from the Pittsburgh ML Summit 2019 in which Jing Tao Wang, a researcher at Google, describes some of the projects he\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2021\/09\/18\/attentivelearner-machine-intelligence-body-feedback\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">AttentiveLearner: Machine Intelligence\/Body Feedback<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":74195,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[103,239],"class_list":["post-7075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobiletechnologies","tag-ai","tag-moocs","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/74195"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7075"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7075\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7077,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7075\/revisions\/7077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
