  1. 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.

  2. #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!!!

  4. 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.

  14. I see the following question as, at best, confusing.

    If you say "Point P was rotated," I assume the rotation *already* happened, and now you want us to undo it.

    If you want us to apply a rotation to point P, why not ask this??? "Apply a 90 degrees clockwise rotation to P...."

    I understood the former, but they meant the latter.

  18. Head's up. I think this applies only to people who live in Arizona because Primavera is (I think) only accredited in Arizona.

    I tutored a math student today in Algebra 2.

    She was taking a summer class at the Primavera Online. Her assignment was:

    1. Pick any function.
    2. Invert the function you picked.
    3. [More bland stuff.]
    4. Post your work in the class forum.
    5. Comment on someone else's work.

    She was stressing over the fact that the forum discussions were counting for 50% of the class.

    Some students had already submitted their work. A lot of them had the same function. I observed that some of them could have just copied the answer of someone else.

    When I reviewed my Algebra, I went to Khan Academy. I wouldn't say it is without its fault, but it definitely is a non-nonsense platform, contrary to Primavera.

    My verdict: Primavera is complete and utter crap. I think my student is between a rock and hard place, because she needs the credit to graduate, and she's already enrolled in the class.

    :headache:

    She also reported having contacted the instructor and not having gotten any response in 24 hours. Yikes!

    I told her that I could help with the actual math, and that maybe it would not turn out as bad as she was expecting.

    Sometimes, classes that have "mushy" exercises, also have "mushy" grading. You know. Everyone is the best and gets an A. Hell yes! 🥳

    Oh, and I checked the online reviews. Mediocre is the word.

  23. This #KhanAcademy math remediation thing that I've been doing for about a week has brought up some feelings for me. I've done everything & earned all the points from early math - 2nd grade. Yesterday I started 3rd grade by opening a quiz, looking at question 1, then my brain started overloading. I immediately closed the app. I had been sitting there mathing for awhile so I thought I was just tired but I tried this morning & I got that same feeling. Going slow with 3rd grade. #math

  27. I'm looking for a #learntocode app for my kiddo where he can work through modules and I can monitor his progress from like a parent or teacher portal view. Seems like this should be standard on #khanacademy or #codeorg. Anyone know of a good #app for #Android or #web like this?
