Event summary
The idea of realizing educational digital transformation
(educational DX) through a digital ecosystem is steadily spreading in Japan. For example, in Japan, this is beginning to bear fruit in the social implementation of the government’s GIGA School Project, which is unprecedented in the world. Achieving fair and individually optimal learning (learning that is optimal and comfortable for each
individual) means that learners have the right to choose, and the educational resources of various providers can respond to their diverse needs. must be collected and combined.
Although the conclusion has not yet been reached as to whether this will ultimately contribute to overall optimization, the development of future learning environments will not only focus on interoperability within the product groups of one institution and one company, but also on social systems. It can be said that the question is whether it is possible to design with interoperability in mind.
“AI digital ecosystem” is a question that has been asked but no answer has been found yet. 1EdTech
In other words, can AI (artificial intelligence) be considered a tool? 1EdTech Consortium Chief Architect ,Colin
According to Smythe, the use of AI in education is still in its infancy, and it will be two to three years before the market need for technical standards materializes, but we need to start preparing. Japan 1EdTech
This is also the year when the association’s internationalization will finally get into full swing. 1EdTech Japan Society in 1EdTech Consortium
