Description:

This is the online, interactive version of OpenIntro's Advanced High School Statistics (https://www.openintro.org/book/ahss/). It was developed by Emiliano Vega and Ralf Youtz of Portland Community College using PreTeXt.

Advanced High School Statistics covers a first course in statistics, providing an introduction to applied statistics that is clear, concise, and accessible. This book was written to align with the AP© Statistics Course Description, but it's also popular in non-AP courses and community colleges.

We hope readers will take away three ideas from this book in addition to forming a foundation of statistical thinking and methods:

1. Statistics is an applied field with a wide range of practical applications.

2. You don't have to be a math guru to learn from real, interesting data.

3. Data are messy, and statistical tools are imperfect. But, when you understand the strengths and weaknesses of these tools, you can use them to learn about the real world.

Adapting the song "A-Hunting We Will Go," students put a "whale" in a "pail" and even "take a little "bear" and hug it if we "dare"."

Machine vision. Data wrangling. Reinforcement learning. What do these terms even mean? In AI 101, MIT researcher Brandon Leshchinskiy offers an introduction to artificial intelligence that’s designed specifically for those with little to no background in the subject. The workshop starts with a summary of key concepts in AI, followed by an interactive exercise where participants train their own algorithm. Finally, it closes with a summary of key takeaways and Q/A. All are welcome!

This is a free, foundational online learning series for any teacher and educator interested in the groundbreaking world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its transformative potential in education. Partners Code.org, ETS, ISTE and Khan Academy are offering engaging sessions with renowned experts that will demystify AI, explore responsible implementation, address bias, and showcase how AI-powered learning can revolutionize student outcomes. Join us on this journey of exploration and empowerment, and unlock the future of teaching with and about AI.

This is a discussion-based interactive seminar on the two major issues that affect Sub-Saharan Africa: HIV/AIDS and Poverty. AIDS and Poverty, seemingly different concepts, are more inter-related to each other in Africa than in any other continent. As MIT students, we feel it is important to engage ourselves in a dynamic discussion on the relation between the two - how to fight one and how to solve the other.

Description: Students play with an AI that can react to their movement, and choreograph something that uses this tool. They can show off their choreography to the rest of the class
Skills/knowledge you'll gain: Movement, collaboration
Length: 1-4 hours

Curriculum aligns to:
- NGSS Engineering standards
- ISTE standards
- Common Core ELA/Literacy standards
- Also maps to CSTA standards

Description: AI can create realistic-looking images and videos that were never actually filmed or taken as a photo. These images and videos are called deepfakes. This is a quick lesson requiring no background where students learn about deepfakes, as well as ways to verify information that they see
Skills/knowledge you'll gain: Critical thinking
Length: 1 hour

Curriculum aligns to:
- NGSS Engineering standards
- ISTE standards
- Common Core ELA/Literacy standards
- Also maps to CSTA standards

The arrival of artificial intelligence has sent shockwaves through numerous industires. Instructional design and education, like many other fields, are bracing for impact. The conversation around AI in instructional design and education has ranged from doomsday scenarios to claims of a new savior. The only constraint in these projects is a general lack of data supporting either scenario. To inform our strategy plan for the utilization and adoption of AI tools, the AI working group at Emeritus Institute of Management conducted a pilot study, assaying the impacts of two tools, ChatGPT and Blue Willow, on the efficiency and effectiveness of these tools in completing common design tasks. This paper describes our study design and the results of our experiment.
