we expect helicopters to come from panama spending the night in one deros and then arriving on saturday to support us in the rescue and humanitarian mission. you know watching news will have more headlines at the top of the hour i'm rebecca . thanks very much. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but less than nothing with the budget and i think deep into the general culture of. community we take those grandmas eat because it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me for me funky gulf coast. how does a virus spread. why do we panic and when will all this. produce through the technics and weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like and

can watch listen and contribute to what happens in the classroom a view one or charlie a small robot. she controls the device using a tablet. answering the teacher's questions to the robot isn't a simple as a could be though. and it's different when you're actually in the classroom when you're there it's easier to participate and you don't have to think about where to look at home things are different you have to direct your camera in the right location decide where you want to look. but apart from that it's pretty good what. charlie the robot can be steered in any direction but it does take some time. but that's ok you want us to turn the robot around. i'm almost there.

during breaks her uses the robot to goof around with her classmates. almost as if she were there in person so. we touched i know showing the teachers a kiosk a school she worked hard to get a distance learning robot for her school collecting donations and subsidies to foot the $3700.00 euro bill. she says robots help children who are sick at home to stay connected. 2 kinds 5 kids can catch up on studying at home but they also need social interaction they want to participate in the classroom and so on even with an injured knee they can interact with their classmates thanks to charlie . is it gets pretty boring when you're all alone in hospital or at home. if you start wondering what the others are up to what class they're attending. the

robot helps me stay in touch by. his classmates take the robot along on their break so they can chat during recess provided the wife i connection holds up a. game if occasion is all about playful learning it's celebrated by many but some experts say it's only suitable in limited contexts . mine on my uncle harrison goodwill invited me to germany in his letter he talks about an important invention. project lingos that will change the world when he thinks he's being persecuted. but why. this thrilling interactive crime story it's been designed by the go to institute to help students learn german. the idea is that instead of studying vocabulary and grammar rules students will hone their language skills more intuitively by playing

a game. the teaching adventure app appeals to our innate playfulness. to solve the crime mystery students must construct complex sentences and use a broad range of all cabul or the aim is for students to learn how to write job applications. game if occasion is seen as a promising teaching method that's not only fun but also hugely motivational. to succeed we have to concentrate and do the hard work which is what learning is all about. how 100 students a games really motivate them because they don't feel like they're studying many say oh this is just really fun. by many play this game not because they want to improve their german skills but because it's enjoyable and that's what came a fixation it's all about it's all smart. game if occasion works has stockholm's piano stairway shows. the idea is that by turning

the stairs into piano keys will be more fun to climb and more people will be encouraged to skip the escalator and walk. the result 66 percent of people who took the escalator gave the musical stairway ago if only briefly. on someone is motivated to do something this is always more effective than if someone tells that person you have to do this games make it easier for our brain to learn something than if we sit in a classroom but gamification is not only about making learning more fun. it also encourages people to learn independently and work out solutions on their own instead of being told what to do this eureka reflects what makes people really memorize things was. playful interaction is the name of the game shown to us student likes the go to institute learning app so much she even uses it to study

german or free time. something she has never done with a conventional vocabulary book. and that's not good i always like having a choice of materials to study not just books. and the app is an alternative to playing games on my mobile when i'm in the subway or in a taxi going somewhere. is game of occasion the future of education. not necessarily says mark fabiani book pedagogic sport he says games can be beneficial to learning but only under the right circumstances and for certain people. i think gamification is promising in the field to further education and training because here people are learning new skills so these are usually well educated individuals who have already completed for creational training or university or both the schools are about teaching certain behavioral patterns here

come a fixation should not dominates but rather complement all the teaching methods i new form is no substitute for conventional classroom teaching you cannot get through high school just by playing educational games education and classroom teaching is more complex than the. carbon you factor already is using games to train it sales staff on the job the game as players navigate a virtual car dealership and talk to virtual buyers they need to answer their questions questions that have been sourced from real conversations. virtual buyers will react positively or negatively to the kind of answers provided. players are performance points and are ranked depending on how well they do in the game. but this kind of competition can also be counterproductive. writings compared people but that's not what learning is about learning is about becoming

better than we were before that's what a ranking can give me a sense of form there's a but that's not the focus learning is not necessarily about competition. the german students meanwhile are getting closer to solving the crime mystery and of learned a new range of vocabulary along the way. and even if they do forget some of the new words it was a fun way to study. artificial intelligence or ai can help students study more effectively smart textbooks for example can detect where they may need extra learning support. we're at the german research center for artificial intelligence today students get to play around and explore the various ai projects researchers are developing to a teaching.

course mine are showing the students how ai can assist teachers in the classroom. winds up with a title mind doesn't mind projects is about creating a prototype and that takes the future when it registers how students read census track and analyze the reader's behavior and can adapt the book accordingly. ok ok so how about you read the middle section of this page. a sensor tracks the student's eye movements as she reads this physics textbook. ai technology that interprets how well she's learned the subject matter. if the sensor registers her eyes darting around or returning to the same format or over and of completeness of the person is struggling to understand the subject in infrared camera provides additional clues about someone's learning progress it can detect when someone's forehead gets warmer because the brain is working extra hard. ai technology can interpret this as a sign of

a student deep in concentration or maybe we can combine this technology with the truck and it shows us which subjects are the most among thing this can help me understand which topics of the most challenging where extra help is needed for. this technology could then simplify book sections provide more in-depth information or extra tutorials as needed the technology can also inform teachers about subjects that students are struggling with the most. and i think i would like it if they introduced this technology it would help everyone get a better idea of how to improve. it is pretty good to get direct feedback about. there you are making progress and where you still need to invest more energy. i think this is a great invention. students at germany's university of hog and use a digital learning platform to study from home. research or cloudier devitt once all students to one day have access to an intelligent learning assistant as well.

the university is teamed up with the german research center for artificial intelligence. they will be analyzing data from the university's digital learning platform to understand how students are progressing. does assist to this system knows exactly what students have learned so far which learning strategies they prefer what targets they have set themselves and which modules they have completed in short the system knows pretty much everything about them. course material in learning strategy tips then fed into the system. the system can then coach students based on their individual needs it biting them on how to get organized and study well. the idea is to make this available ahead of exams and to help with homework but is there a potential risk. i know horses there is a great risk we're well aware of it that the ai system will permanently monitor and

influence students so it will be essential that we strike a balance early on between fostering independence and providing external advice. today's workshop is winding down the latest technological teaching solutions are full of promise but of course nobody is ignoring the potential dangers either. yes we need to ensure schools don't rob students of their autonomy so it is perfectly fine for the system to suggest course material all learning strategies but students must be allowed to make a final decision themselves. enough studying for today time for some fun. because learning should be just that.
