Having conducted first and second hand research on behaviours around technology, I have extensive data that suggests student behaviours with technology are strongly effected by adult behaviours. We are not in a position to support our children in an online world that we are somewhat incapable of handling ourselves. Our children will be better users of tech than us, despite what we think. As an advocate for new UK and US legislation to smart phones and social media, I share my evidence on why our behaviours with technology matter now more so than ever before.

This session will present the development and initial results of a Human+ AI tutoring system designed to provide students in higher education with on-demand, personalised tutoring throughout their studies. Educational research has demonstrated that the provision of tutoring enables students achieving a mean level of performance to progress to performing within the top 5% of students. Despite, the potential of tutoring to advance education in such a dramatic fashion, it has rarely been possible historically to provide tutoring at scale due to economic restrictions. Recent advancements in AI make such provision viable however it is the combination of AI and human tutors working collaboratively that will likely be most impactful. This session will present on a project exploring this human+ AI collaboration and present initial thoughts on how teaching tasks can be best assigned for optimum outcomes.

Ever gone into a technology CPD and found it was 90% how to use the platform and 10% talking about learning and teaching? Teachers and students in the UAE come from diverse backgrounds, and with this comes their diverse skill sets. As you go into your next CPD/class to try out "something new", others will be coming in with their own perceptions. A difference in competencies and confidences, previous experiences, time and change resistance are all common thoughts... and they haven't even thought about learning yet! In this talk, I will explore 4 ways to cut through that "EdTech noise" and bring it back to where it needs to be: talking about learning and teaching. Looking forward to sharing with you, and your thoughts.
