Key question
How can AI contribute to detecting and interpreting students’ questions and provide them with fitting answers or feedback?
The elective course Computer Science makes use of independent work and question-based instruction. This causes the number of questions from students to accumulate quickly, which in turn causes the teacher to be unable to answer each question. AI makes students think about their questions in more detail so that they can come to insights and solutions, or a more specific question. This allows the teacher to provide support for concrete questions and problems.
NOLAI is the national education lab AI for primary, secondary, and special education in the Netherlands, funded by the National Growth Fund. €80 million has been awarded for the period of 2022 to 2032 in order to develop prototypes and gather knowledge about AI in education together with schools, corporations, and scientists over the span of ten years. Each academic year, around ten new projects are launched all across the Netherlands. A project takes three years on average.
