English – The Conversation | Despite the growth of some AI schools like Alpha, research doesn’t show that AI tutors are better than human teachers by Gerald K. LeTendre, Professor of Educational Administration, Penn State

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Despite the rapid expansion of AI‑focused schools such as Alpha, which replaces most classroom time with two‑hour blocks of personalized AI tutoring supplemented by non‑licensed “coaches,” research does not yet show that AI tutors help students learn better or faster than human tutors. While studies confirm that one‑to‑one human tutoring and well‑designed “high‑impact” tutoring improve test scores and social‑emotional development, large‑scale analyses of computer‑assisted and AI tutoring systems find no significant advantage over traditional instruction. Evidence does suggest that AI can be useful when it supports teachers—helping with lesson planning, providing language‑based interaction, or augmenting tutoring in low‑income schools—but the most promising strategy is to integrate AI as a tool for educators rather than to replace them.

#fedihelp to #IT #sysadmin people:

Do you know where I can find online #training (in self-study mode) for people who might need to learn the fundamentals of IT , #network #networking , #linux #shell , etc?

If it is available in an #open #foss spirit (a bit like #KhanAcademy ), that would be fantastic.

I'd like to give some pointers to people who need basic initial guidance.

Thank you!!!

Last year, my lack of statistics experience was really hampering my work toward a master's degree in data science. #KhanAcademy was a lifeline; its AP-level stats course was just what I needed to gain a solid footing. Now that I've got the degree, I'm sending a little tax-deductible cash to Khan so it can help more students get the skills they need for free. https://donate.khanacademy.org/campaign/738385/donate

A couple years ago I spent 1 year of exclusively learning math on #Brilliant.

At calculus level it's only good for review of what you're already familiar with - it's far too superficial for deeper learning. Seems similar for most of their technical content that I've tried unfortunately. #KhanAcademy def wins.

I wrote a long review on Reddit (which I barely use), if anybody happens to be interested or considering whether it's worth it I can link.
