When we step away from dogmatic fears about AI and pop culture concerns, we find that there are earnest researchers seeking to usefully apply technology to distance education. To that end, this AI and digital learning research assistant posting covers an array of locales “that use basic Natural Language Processing techniques include tokenized, n-grams, and part-of-speech to analyze DBpedia dataset.” Where a frequently asked questions (FAQ) list might have involved a list of possible answers, this newer coding and teaching method seeks to “create a service running behind the scene to read and parse all teaching materials prepared in different formats” and thus improve digital education.
In logical sequence the method of inquiry follows the honourable and tested order of operations throughout scientific and historical research. Research in this vein thereby revolves around the following process:
“develop algorithms and methodology to identify key terms with the question a user asks;
- make a summary for the content associated to the identified key terms;
- assess and verify the usability of the service; and
- measure and observe the accuracy of the generated summary.”
So, if coding and computer detailing are your areas of strength and interest please send a short video demonstrating your skills so as to “show the required skills you have, e.g., showing the works/codes you have done before.” Also, Dr. Chang requests a cover letter, resume, transcript and contact information for two references. The supervisor, Dr. Maiga Chang can be contacted at. maigac@athabascau.ca.
