Advanced Virtual Assistants - A Window to the Virtual Future
Author: Ali Soofastaei
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1837697124
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Advanced Virtual Assistants (AVAs) are computer programs that use artificial intelligence (AI) to perform various tasks for human users. These AI-powered assistants can help with multiple activities, including scheduling appointments, answering questions, managing email and social media, and even performing complex calculations. They can be accessed through various platforms, including smartphones, smart speakers, and other digital devices. AVAs utilize natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to understand human language and improve their responses over time. As these technologies advance, virtual assistants are becoming increasingly sophisticated and capable of handling more complex tasks. As a result, they are transforming how we interact with technology and providing users with more efficient and personalized experiences. This book is a helpful reference for scientists and industrial experts interested in AVAs' current and future capabilities.

Teacher Learning in Changing Contexts
Author: Alison Castro Superfine
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000638421
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
New to the Routledge Advances in Learning Sciences series, this book highlights diverse approaches taken by researchers in the Learning Sciences to support teacher learning. It features international perspectives from world class researchers that exemplify new lenses on the work of teaching, encompassing new objects of learning, methods and tools; new ways of working with researchers and peers; and new efforts to work with the systems in which teachers are embedded. Together, the chapters in this volume reflect a new frontier of research on teacher learning that leverages diversity in the content, contexts, objects of inquiry, and tools for supporting shifts in instructional practice. Divided into three sections, chapters question: What new pedagogies and knowledge do teachers need to facilitate student learning in the 21st century? How do learning sciences’ tools, strategies, and experiences provide opportunities for them to learn these? What role do teachers play as co-designers of educational innovations? What unique affordances does co-design afford for teacher learning? What do teachers learn through engaging in co-design? How do teachers work and learn as part of interdisciplinary teams within educational systems? What might it look like to design for teacher learning in these broader organizational systems? Uniquely highlighting how cycles of reflection and co-design can serve as important mechanisms to support teacher learning, this invaluable book lays the groundwork for sustained teacher learning and instructional improvement.

Compelling Stories for English Language Learners
Author: Janice Bland
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350190004
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
An International Research Society for Children's Literature (IRSCL) Honour Book for 2023 This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to children's and young adult literature in English language education. Reading is promoted as central to language education in order to experience perspectives from around the world, and the book demonstrates the many opportunities for teaching with compelling story, encouraging an active and engaged community of second language readers through challenging picturebooks, motivating graphic novels, dynamic plays, enchanting verse novels and compelling young adult fiction. Using many examples of literary texts that are well suited to the primary or secondary classroom, the book focuses on the advantages of deep reading and the vital importance of in-depth learning. In-depth learning is an approach that involves the students as motivated participants, working collaboratively and with empathy while preparing for and confronting the challenges of the 21st century. Illustrating the approach with a Deep Reading Framework based in research and theory, Janice Bland guides the reader to discover and learn how to make use of literary texts in a way that challenges students to become involved in interculturality, creativity and critical literacy. Throughout the book the emphasis is on an approach that puts the reader and language learner in the centre – not a study of literature but a study of how readers learn through compelling story.

Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy
Author: Jutta Haider
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000590283
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy contributes to ongoing conversations about control of knowledge and different ways of knowing. It does so by analysing why media and information literacy (MIL) is proposed as a solution for addressing the current information crisis. Questioning why MIL is commonly believed to wield such power, the book throws into sharp relief several paradoxes that are built into common understandings of such literacies. Haider and Sundin take the reader on a journey across different fields of practice, research and policymaking, including librarianship, information studies, teaching and journalism, media and communication and the educational sciences. The authors also consider national information policy proposals and the recommendations of NGOs or international bodies, such as UNESCO and the OECD. Showing that MIL plays an active role in contemporary controversies, such as those on climate change or vaccination, Haider and Sundin argue that such controversies challenge existing notions of fact and ignorance, trust and doubt, and our understanding of information access and information control. The book thus argues for the need to unpack and understand the contradictions forming around these notions in relation to MIL, rather than attempting to arrive at a single, comprehensive definition. Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy combines careful analytical and conceptual discussions with an in-depth understanding of information practices and of the contemporary information infrastructure. It is essential reading for scholars and students engaged in library and information studies, media and communication, journalism studies and the educational sciences.
