A Chatbot Masters?
I laughed out loud when I saw an item in the Times Higher about new Masters courses at the London School of Innovation (which I had never heard of before) that will be taught and assessed by AI. I see that for the new courses – apparently in subjects such as machine learning, digital innovation, entrepreneurship and business transformation
Content will be delivered through an online learning system that the university built from scratch. Students can choose to have content delivered in a written format or presented to them by an AI avatar.
Moreover,
…assignments will be assessed and given feedback by AI…
At the end of each module, students will engage in a “Socratic dialogue” with their AI tutor about the content to answer questions and reflect on their learning.
Whether the AI bot will end up corrupting young people and being compelled to drink hemlock is not specified…
I laughed when I read all this because it doesn’t seem to have occurred to anyone that if you have a qualification that can be delivered and assessed by chatbots then the job that you think it will qualify you for can also be done by chatbots…
Still, the London School of Innovation has been granted degree-awarding powers by the “Regulator” so it must be kosher.

@YvanDaSilva Hey Yvan, you might like to check out the Distance Learning offer at #ARU (#TimesHigher Uni of the year no less (fwiw)).
If you drop them a line my colleagues over there will be able to take you through the offer and setup to see if there's something suitable for you.

#ARU are up for #TimesHigher #Awards tomorrow in 3 categories:
- Outstanding Contribution to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
- Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community
- University of the Year
There's a nice little supporting video here, highlighting (amongst other things) that we're one of the #UK leading providers of #DegreeApprenticeships and the largest provider of initial Police #Education. I'm proud to be part of the team that built this.
