i'm not nothing out of the germans i go sometimes down but mostly i'm laughing with the german things deep into the german culture. you don't seem to think there's grandma there you go to fill out who their next time rachel join me for me to get some peace of course. it's the most valuable spice in the world separate and it's also cultivated in europe in a small mountain village the step from blossoms right in height of the alps. hello and welcome to your own lacks who would have thought. from switzerland and we

have lots more coming up. and he said you an artist who uses a date stamp to create casts amazing picture. the colorful vibrant british and dynamic trade. but 1st we have to portugal the southern european country and especially its capitalist been is famous for colorful the painted tights called. you can find them all over in houses and call it yachts even on entire. they are a symbol of portugal and in the meantime i exported worldwide and of course copied by the riches from portugal mostly still hand right. these ceramic tiles called oscillations are one of portugal's most iconic traditional art forms the designs have changed continuously over the years evolving

into the familiar ornamental tiles in blue and white in lisbon they appear at almost every turn. for almost 20 years now leona helmsley bible has overseen the preservation of the capitol ceramic heritage. before was a law that famous write like the lead of lisbon. comes not only for military was true and its very low restaurant. but from the portuguese fiberoptics which are white and primarily the reflections from the tiles on the streets of the dead gives the city a special aura that light it's known for their own kind of. the tylers give lisbon much of its specific character but aside from their decorative function they help protect the buildings from the heat and salty air gusting in off

the atlantic ideal for this southern european city ornamental tiles have a long history beginning with the mourners largely magreb berbers who occupied most of the iberian peninsula starting in the 8th century the muslim caliphates were ousted 8 centuries later but the as a nation is when ain't. the idea here's been were part of our lives for being or 900 years. small even today we continue to make your answer. such as these panels you see here is what i feel that's an artform constantly evolving. and worse influences. was in florence years or more you're screwed. this factory dating back to 741 produces a very particular kind of tile it's the all this tile manufacturer in portugal and one of the oldest in europe francisco to mush is the managing director of the us

allusions are still made by hand using techniques that are partly changed in 300 years when they were 1st developed to turn out tiles in large quantities. here of quick in 1755 destroyed the city official and almost completely to rebuild the city they had stone and tower at the time that i was most cheaper than stone and what would you do to devolving off buildings being being made at the time they start to develop developing some designs to cover all of the for sates of often it's been so nice was that they're not a turn turning point on day 3 off the tiles for sure. everyone has the asian starts with clay that's pounded into a mall a bit of advance planning is needed as it takes the tiles about 2 months to dry then they're baked for 18 hours to live in 100 degree celsius.

so after the 1st fiery you have now the 1st quality control check this is a very important phase because at the time it's handmade it is always possible with this natural way that we use to leave air bubbles on the inside and it's just the majority of the times it's only possible to detect them using a sound test because. it's metallic sound that tell us that this is a. if we have a bad tile. the sound is completely different. painting the tiles also requires a certain level of skill to keep the water based acrylics from bleeding into each other stencils. argues that with a special under glaze. firing the tiles again often changes the colors appreciatively. one of the biggest

markets for the tile outside the country is the u.s. and of course the many tourists but to satisfy the market for souvenirs leave often pry the little artworks office signs. very few decades ago there was a huge worry about. those who were sold on the antique world here and now when the visitors are more aware of this problem they've been sensitized to it by information campaigns. and the portuguese very beginning more and more respect for their own heritage where with their mom you. not only does lisbon shine with a light of its own portugal's capital literally sparkles with its many colorful as nations. and we've brought back something very special for you from portugal ahead makes tyo without what the logo on it we're giving it away to a lucky viewer just go to our facebook page and post

a photo into the commentaries of the place of ana the tile gets in your house so good luck. next from hadn't paid to type them. back when. starting at the arts academy in rome he always find his work with the day and one day he came up with the idea of making time itself part of his out how he does it. doesn't use brushes he uses stamps and ink pads. he creates his images with an ordinary office stater. ringback he presses it onto his canvas thousands of times until the over dates and textures. i decided to use. because it was. the simplest tool i could

find to capture time. on the accelerator a funny gallery in a room our perception of time is the artist's dominant theme it takes him up to 2 months to complete a picture to date or always records the correct date. close examination of the work reveals when which parts of it created. i worked on this picture for instance. from september 16th 1st so. you can. hear for example. first. what's the painting called it's called 16 to october 1st. has been using daters to produce his artworks for about 20 years now he shows them

in exhibitions all over europe. he was born and raised in rome where he studied at the academy of fine arts the eternal city provides no end of subjects street scenes classical architecture and nature within the city. for his works on his mobile. this is one of the classic observation points. of tourist in my own home and i think the clouds over the city as. i meant to direct their gaze and reveal new perspectives as well. then alters the photos on his computer until the contrast and color temperature are just right to be turned into a stamped image. he'd like to prompt the viewers to think about their

concept of time here at the my time is your time exhibition in rome. i'd like to have more time i think time is the most precious resource you've got. everyone's all this short on time. right now we have lots of time during the pandemic we have more time than we need we used to have very little time now we have to get used to having more time to fill. in his hometown is no conventional solo show of his works here he's constantly at work on. the viewers can share their time with him. and 100 years maybe. somebody will read that. and be able to imagine

we make sure to press it down a little and then bend it makes. he has to collect 130000 flowers for a kilo of saffron to spices associated with warmer regions of the climate in the mountain village of moore and is very special and is the only place in central europe where crocus says drive at a high altitude and. so on. water. the flowers need hot or warm summer's but on the other hand they also need cold snowy winters if we compare our climate to the countries of origin resat from grows rather in kashmir or pakistan or iran they have similar conditions are harsh hold winters as well as hot summers. in the summer. the sandy clay if soil of the swiss alps is perfect for saffron where the spice has

been cultivated since the 15th century the 62 year old farmer has dedicated his entire life to it his parents own the south from fields and already has a small boy he had to help with the picking. it's important to me to preserve this engine tradition of cultivating so after a woman's all for this very practice for centuries now back to inspire younger people to get interested in it and that's a big guys then. there's an educational hiking trail in one that explains the secrets of harvesting the self-proclaimed saffron village is a tourist magnet and takes pride in its history. founded a small museum in the past saffron was used as a dye for textiles and as a medicine saffron was probably brought to switzerland by spanish smugglers who wanted to sell the precious plant at a high price saffron can be used to refine many things like only a little more and faster than mom's all phone calls. when you buy sephora make

sure that it's a thread and not a powder. and secondly make sure that the color is right it beautiful shade of red like the color white. over time you develop a good nose the smell of saffron it's a roll of. the aroma is created while the saw from threads are drying each flower has only 3 threads after the harvest they're placed in a dark room for 2 days from don't present even these if i don't see it through these threads use for their weight on drawing. which means that only this left all the work invested in picking up threads. and a fair. these are both taught by the snow from oak so perhaps it no longer comes as a surprise yourself from the source 20 minutes off. your list

approximately 45 kilograms of sap from trends are harvested per year in the mountain village of mine but the effort is worth it the taste of swiss saffron is unique one that's all for on the cell phone from now on is unique because it's cultivated according to a special method. with highs in ca you can separate olds are planted in the same field for the winter riots on. morton. rai called swiss saffron is a mix of diverse influences and some gourmet saying this sound from from the highest cultivation area in europe is the best saffron in the world. saffron from the swiss alps maybe full spicing up or risotto but don't use too much it can be quite strong and of course it's not cheap so stay tuned for more

a very cheerful person she is sometimes called the queen of colors and her mission is to make a living spaces small knife she's been extremely successful best idea for more than 5 decades. koller frenzy. tricia guild boldly combines patterns colors materials creating brightly colored rooms that break with conventions the british artist has a flair for the right combination. ok to look up to me it's just in my heart how i use color if you want to see my passion for color it's all over here whether it's these beautiful soft vapor cards fabrics accessories wallpaper and furniture tricia guild's collections have made her a european design icon from the design to the production every step of the process

is equally important to her. wants not only to create beautiful products who world of colors should be more than just decoration. when i 1st started this word lifestyle didn't exist i think it's really important to show people different ideas of how they can live so that with kind of an interaction and that is what creating lifestyle is all about it's about creating a space that people will enjoy to be with. in 1917 guild established the company designers guild in a small store on kings road in london today the company is known. so this is where we started and i had 30 fabrics and. 6 fabric i want to show people that you could live with color and i'm constantly learning and constantly trying for something new that's what i've always wanted to

a spirit in india that touch my heart from the last time i went i mean they know more about text in there. probably were. the designer tries to reinvent herself with every collection repeating recipes for success is part of the question for her. and trends she just ignores them. i have a lot of information about what people are liking but you cannot design a collection like that you have for me i have to design it because i feel that it's the right thing to me it's all the same thing you know a lifestyle. the space how it looks how it functions how we eat. how the world is going to survive. to me it's all part of the same thing. she continues to draw inspiration from all over the world

to make living spaces more colorful and lively tricia guild the ground of design. one of the things i really miss in these days of the corona pandemic is of course traveling a lot of acacias here in berlin used to begin their trips at the airport but a new airport the b e r has opened and that means is closing its gates for good and many are feeling nostalgic now and it was popular not only with violinist but with travelers worldwide it even has its own service yet to go has achieved cold status. these are the last airplanes to land at berlin's taiko airport and for plane spotters like felix must take it's the last chance to take farewell photos this

look at point from the highway is one of his favorite locations from which he practices his hobby. just think about this part is that you have the airport in the background if you turn to the left you have some planes approaching from a nice angle and sometimes the light is just perfect they're almost right above you . plane spotters specialize in photographing different types of airplanes. they use an app that tells them when where and which plane is landing. felix maté has captured many special moments here. i've caught all the government planes from my camera one of my favorite moments was the last air berlin flight in a minute. but and the flights to libya conference many government planes also only once knew 747 was their senior for the 1st time

was a highlight many really beautiful customized pete works that you wouldn't otherwise see. tito airport flies in the north of berlin it was built in the 1970 s. opened a 974 and named after. a german aviation pioneer the hexagonal ground plan is an architectural landmark the rounded signs friendly colors and the hexagon as a recurring motif for example of the tower and the pillars all these were designed by the german architects my not fun and fun at the airports main terminal was declared as a listed heritage building in 2019 now there are plans to turn it into a university campus i think it's very. like flying from here to the much too bad because it's. actually good to have an airport on each side of the city fared in your daughter's very the airport is part of our childhood memories we always

devoted our time between south america and berlin germany never to leave. you here and evelyn cha by i have worked at the airport for more than 25 years they've written a book about their experiences for them ttyl is the greatest airport in the world. that's it see that was the great thing about this place you came checked in and then you were already seated on the plane to. the airport is small and compact it is only empty right now because of the corona pandemic before it was overflowing with passengers there are lots of anecdotes. but. at most airports arrivals and departures are separated into 2 different floors or terminals and here they're right next to each other and that became emotionally evidence when you spent a lot of time here it's. just too many to go fans gather for the

last time to say goodbye on the visitor's terrace. played spotter felix matteo also takes a few more photos. people are getting set for the realisation that it's really the end or you always thought about it but unfortunately it's becoming a reality the only airport it is a beloved place full of memories for learners and travellers from all over the world with a heavy heart many will say bye bye and thank you take a. bye bye that was all from us here today but check out our facebook page where you find our latest fear drawl you could soon be the owner of this backpack so stay healthy and again next time. bye bye.

is e w news a live from berlin a new day and a new era in america washington gets ready to welcome joe biden to the white house in just over 10 weeks time the president elect goes to church and begins to shape his plans top of the agenda a task force to tackle a coronavirus pandemic. meanwhile president all tromped heads back to the golf course he's yet to concede defeat and is vowing to press ahead with legal challenges to the election process.

i'm claire richardson and welcome to the show joe biden has become his 1st has begun his 1st full day as u.s. president elect of by getting it down to work biden went to mass at a catholic church in his hometown wilmington delaware where his son of bo is very tight and is planning an overhaul of government with a task forces have. in a virus pandemic as his top priority earlier he used his victory speech to reinforce his message that it's time to heal a divided nation meanwhile a defiant president donald trump has returned to the golf course where he was playing when u.s. networks declared that biden had won the election trump has yet to concede defeat he insists the election was stolen from him and he's vowing to press ahead with legal challenges. straight to washington and our correspondent sumi so misconduct

who's been following this for us so maybe we've just seen pictures of the morning after you want to call it that trump on the golf course while biden is going to church oh what are we to make of all this. well we're seeing different sundays unfolding for these 2 men you know joe biden does go to church weekly this is part of his routine but as you he mentioned he's indicated that he's going to get to work strike straight away so it could be that we see him really huddled today with his inner circle his closest advisers to start those 1st steps of that transition period and as for president trump you mentioned this we saw the pictures there he left this morning to head to his golf course golf course for the 2nd day where he was when he got the news that joe biden had been declared the winner and this morning on twitter we have heard we have heard from the president again repeated those claims that this election was stolen from him you claimed in particular that there was fraud in big cities like filth philadelphia and so clearly is not backing down here despite a lack of evidence for these claims a lack of a legal basis to carry

a fight forward i do want to clear that we have now seen the former president george w. bush calling joe biden to congratulate him and he released a statement as well saying he knows joe biden to be a good man who is capable of unifying the country and he also said they just want to read this to you he said the president has the right to request or pursue legal challenges but the american people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair its integrity will be upheld and its outcome is clear so that the message of the former republican president george w. bush there absolutely and that is politics as we knew them before the trump era and i just might take a step back let's see if we can take a look at the scenes last night after biden was declared president elect. fireworks light up the docks go and go where. america joe biden has one power promising just. to

a country that has been living through your wrist. is promising to bring a new but. the barber chose to everything there is a season of trying to. berrow the time period of time to serve and a time to do this is the time to be here in america. alongside biden a woman who says she's determined to heal the country's rice who divisions camilla harris will be the country's 1st female a minority vice president she did the key to victory to the civil rights movement and said it will help restore us democracy and when our very democracy was on the ballot in this election with the very soul of america at stake and the world weren't change you ushered in a new day for america. in

washington d.c. and in many of america's blue states that was celebrations for these people and many elsewhere not motz a huge victory in america's beats a culture war they see themselves as weakness who've won back their own country like america again and i feels like it feels like we're now back on the right track america is back we have regained america for all people time is static for the nation. but the other americas being out on the streets 2 on saturday stop the steel rallies were held in closely contested states like here in michigan these people believe the president's on their fight theories the view biden's claims to be the we know with suspicion. oppositely believe they had a landslide on the ground and them if they get it it was ill never arrives in

anchorage president shows a continuous lawsuits. you know fight for you know this the stealing of this stop is new in the selection right now the current president looks like he's digging into his bunker as joe biden won the election and donald trump went golfing supporters cheat him on the way back to the white house for much of red america donald trump is still very much their president. now as we said biden is getting down to business as usual what are the biggest changes we can expect to see in this administration well 1st and foremost joe biden is going to move full throttle forward with this plan to tackle the covert $910.00 demick and he's announcing he's creating a task force as you mentioned this task force will be made up of scientists and experts on monday already and they will draw up plans to fight the pandemic we heard in his acceptance speech yesterday that he plans to build on the science also on compassion and empathy and that in itself is

a change from the very mixed messaging that we've gotten on the mic from the current administration we can also see some choices coming out of who joe biden couple harris want to have surround them so perhaps cabinets but also chief of staff advisors and so on and these choices might give us some indication of what direction they're heading in and joe biden is also repeatedly promised to be a president for all americans but i think what's going to be crucial to watch now is he is expected to sit down with leaders from the republican party as he builds his team and builds a path forward but we also have to see how he would reach out to the people who voted for president trump as he tries to unify the country and that is something that he has made a priority he said again and it's accepted speech will be a big part of his 1st days now in this transition period so the question is how he's going to implement that. let's talk more about the republican party no doubt at this hour they're stepping back and talk what do you see as the future for the g.o.p. without trump as president. what's been interesting to watch the hours really ever

since joe biden was declared the winner there are only really been a handful of republicans who have congratulated joe biden on victory including now the former president george w. bush as i mentioned but the refs have been largely silent at all and one prominent republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina he's actually calling on the justice department to investigate what he says is a legal vote counting in pennsylvania he claims to have proof so he is backing now the president's unsubstantiated claims that this election was fraudulent and the reason there i think we have to say it's pretty clear president trump is still very very popular among republicans we saw more than 70000000 people in this country vote for him and many of them do believe that this election was manipulated because that's the messaging that they've heard from the president so members of the party lawmakers want to line up still behind the president believing that he still carries a lot of power in this country particularly among republicans but where this party heads is the big question because if donald trump is no longer there well he has

become the party their platform their vision and if he is not the president they are faced with a difficult path forward in deciding what they want to stand for and what they want to stand behind do you know your correspondent thank you very much. well world leaders have lost no time in sending messages of congratulations to president elect joe biden and his running mate couple harris in many countries there's a feeling of relief that the trumpet ministration is coming to an end so how is news of biden's victory being received here in chamonix our reporters have been out canvassing opinion i think it's a great release a cleanout to have a leader in the us and they're important. that. somehow these. are our fights for some of the things that make me here but i have been following the election results over the past few days and was anxious about the final results but the outcome it's become clear over the past 2 or 3 days it's

a relief that it's over now. that it is not like the old. father picked or well i would say that there is a fix that are affordable but there's a. dog. that's a beast a pro-business that they don't believe that the world is better. off to mr potter's really. well for a european perspective on biden's when it let's bring in dan will haul irish ambassador to the u.s. to give us that view adana many here in europe or member that president trump was in saver of the united kingdom leaving the e.u. how will this new president see a sex transatlantic relations. well i hope in a positive way something any relations have been frayed over the last few years trade disputes over the boy your boss issue and so on led to tolerance being employed by both sides and i think frankly in the light of the pandemic and the need to revive our economies the e.u.

us economic and trade link is vital indeed and therefore i hope that we will see a revival of the good relations between our 2 parts of the world because remember one 3rd of the global g.d.p. is contributed by trade between you or the united states so it is absolutely vital that that trade relationship should should be enhanced round the back end of the interview joe biden recently emphasized that he is irish and even recite a poem by the irish poet seamus heaney as part of his campaign advertising and we're going to ask you in a moment of his hell us why this is important to him but 1st let's take a listen and. see if there's a fire in the middle or like you know the story. godspeed this guy. that means someone who's very you know her you know the person crying like the.

news ones who like to turn justice can rise up. just. down the hall irish ambassador to the u.s. joe biden there quoting an irish not an american poet is the irish vote really so important in the united states. well i don't think it's so much seeking the i.r.s. for what that he was doing there but he's always been a lover of ours poetry in the past you quoted william butler yeats the nobel prize winner and now he's taken to quoting this wonderful poem by seamus heaney on the need to make hope history rhyme i just think that that poem and met the needs of the moment that he decided to put it out as a sort of a competent poem no i don't like his has always valued his irish heritage he refers to himself as an irish american he's proud he's our is american identity he's told me that he got these hours and very going to get to be from his ground coffee again and again scranton who is the son of 2 irish immigrants from our from

countries out with an audience so he's always been very very positive about these are studies and i dare say it probably get in the army in places like pennsylvania and michigan wisconsin where there are a lot of irish american members there are 35000000 house americans and all the lot of them are concentrated in those states which don't trump one last time around that joe biden won this time so i think that image of being for the irish catholic working class background probably hokum enormously when it came to maybe changing the at the arithmetic in places like pennsylvania wisconsin and michigan which turned out to be the key states in turning this election in his favor and now you you know joe biden a person or what's he like as the private man different from the public persona that we see in the media. it's absolutely the same because i'll tell you now he's been at the embassy a number of times during my 3 years here and i think i i really value voters that he comes he doesn't just come and go again as

a vice president could easily go just make an appearance and that leads he usually stays for quite a long time he talks to everyone he's very genial very warm and gracious and i i really got a lot of time for him personally i think he's a very warm and gracious individual and that's come out to me in all of the conduct i've had with him that he has is staying he's talked to people he's been engaging he was here about a year and a half ago to launch his give out and he spoke very passionately about his hours every day generally even read a poem by his great grandfather about his irish roots and irish identity so i think that the private joe biden is exactly the same as the public face that you've seen off him as a man of empathy and a man of i think generosity of spirit all right down the hall irish ambassador to the united states thank you so much for joining us on tapping as you very welcome thank you. i that is your news update at this hour you've been watching it you have

can watch listen and contribute to what happens in the classroom the a.v. one or charlie a small robot. she controls the device using a tablet. answering the teacher's questions through the robot isn't this simple as it 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 i'm sure you want us to turn the robot around. i'm almost there.

during breaks uses the robot to goof around with their classmates. almost as if she were there in person so yes. we talked 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 . 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

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 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. a problem from them students say games really motivate them because they don't feel like they're studying many say oh this is just really fun. i know many play this game not because they want to improve their german skills but because it's enjoyable and that's what game a fixation is all about it's all smart. game if occasion works as 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. about frances and 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 a 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 or work out solutions on their own instead of being told what to do this year rieker effect is what makes people really memorize things was. playful interaction is the name of the game shown to a u.s. 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. canvasser my good i always like having a choice of materials to study not just books and the app as an alternative to playing games on my mobile when i'm in the subway or in a taxi going somewhere taxi. 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 of further education and training because here people are learning new skills these are usually well educated individuals who have already completed focus 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 know 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 out he is using games to train its sales staff on the job the game has players navigate a virtual car dealership and talk to a 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 aren't performance points and they're ranked depending on how well they do in the game. but this kind of competition can also be counterproductive. rankings 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 to tell others of 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 the learn 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. at the german research center for artificial intelligence today students get to play around to explore the various ai projects researchers are developing to aid teaching.

showing the students how ai can assist teachers in the classroom. project is about creating a prototype and that to take the future in registers how students read census track and analyze the reader's behavior and can adapt the book accordingly. 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 then interprets how well she's learned the subject matter. if the sensor registers their eyes darting around or returning to the same formatter over and of concludes that 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 says it's if we can combine this technology with the truck it shows us which subjects are the most demanding this can help me understand which topics of the most challenging and where extra help is needed. 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. 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 where 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 haagen 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 a stiff 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 and. course material on learning strategy tips then fed into the system. the system can then coach students based on their individual needs advising 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 rope students with their autonomy so it is perfectly fine for the system to suggest course material all learning strategies but students must be allowed to make the final decision themselves. enough studying for today time for some fun. because learning should be just that.
