the concept of increasing access to education and educational material, rather than to the idea of accessibility.

Education Is On The Frontlines Of The AI Culture Wars - 0 views

I don't think people with existing skills will ever adopt generative AI as part of their daily practice. Instead, I think we're going to see lines drawn in the sand. After all, the folks who have those skills worked to establish them, often spending years honing such skills and going into debt to establish mastery in their fields. I fully expect to see many people bias generative AI as a form of cheating. Early testing shows that those with underdeveloped or emerging skills rather than those who have mastered skills are the most likely to benefit from adopting generative AI in their jobs. This suggests that such adoption could benefit those unprepared, unmotivated, and struggling students the most. It also suggests that their higher-performing peers will see the least amount of help from adopting generative AI. What's lost in this is we want as many students as possible to develop mastery in skills for their studies and their future careers, not use generative AI as a crutch to help them pass. ... I said this last year and think it rings truer today-the mark of future mobility will not be having access to a college education. Rather, it will be if you could afford to go to an institution where a human being taught you or if you had to attend one where you learned from an algorithm.

-
more than half of students are using closed captions in their educational videos at least sometimes. Although one might expect students with disabilities to report using captions at much higher rates, this study shows that students not reporting disabilities use captions almost as frequently, with more than 50 percent using them sometimes or more often;
-
Among those who reported using closed captions, the vast majority find the captions to be at least moderately helpful.
-
When asked why captions are helpful, respondents overall expressed strong agreement that captions help students focus, retain information, and overcome poor audio. Open-ended responses further illustrate that students find captions to be helpful learning aids. Captions help students with comprehension, accuracy, engagement, and the retention of information transmitted in course videos.
