- The program emphasizes creating open datasets that are legally unrestricted and appropriate for training AI models, with a focus on factors like learner variability and teaching principles.
- GSE graduate students and faculty expressed enthusiasm about the program providing crucial infrastructure, fostering ethical AI practices, and enhancing learning outcomes by bridging technology and evidence-based learning.
- This collaboration is GSE’s second significant project with Digital Promise, reflecting the school’s ongoing commitment to advancing ethical AI use in education.
