    A Post-20 Year Look into the Future(北外网院未来20年展望)

    【发言摘要】

    The Institute of Beiwai Online Education (IBOE) was officially endorsed as a second batch of higher institutions piloting online education in China. 20 years have gone by. What have we learned from this piloting phase of practising online education? As the IBOE founding dean, I am privileged as well as obliged to reflect upon the eventful years to see if there have been achievements, if any, and regrets — personally quite a few. My optimistic personality motivates a focus this paper places on the IBOE future. What will IBOE look like in another 20 years, that is, when it reaches the year 2040? There will, to be sure, many unpredictables that lay on its way. The question I put to myself is: What will I be able to contribute to its future development, that is, if I can live that long? My present thinking is this: I’ll work on institutional knowledge ontology and management which, being the core of AI conceived by its founding pioneers, provides a key to its future success.

    The Role of AI in Language Learning(人工智能在语言学习中的角色)

    【发言摘要】

    Can Artificial Intelligence Improve Language Learning? While language teaching has always been an early adopter of technology – witness the use of LP records in the 1950s, and the extensive adoption of language labs in universities – the revolution in personal device computing, coupled with significant advances in neural network modeling, creates a new set of affordances for language learning and teaching, namely, the potential application of Artificial Intelligence to language learning. At the same time, clear trends in the role of AI and education overall point to significant potential limitations for AI and language learning (Klein, 2019). While receptive skills - reading and listening - have seen tremendous advances in the use of computer assisted language applications, especially on mobile devices (Golonka et al., 2014), interactive skills lag far behind. However, AI has shown promise in the development of personalized tutors (Goren et al., 2016; Suvorov) and adaptive testing for language learning. This presentation discusses recent trends of AI in the context of the revolution of blended learning for languages.  查看更多>>

    Smart Mobile Assistance in Language Learning(智能移动技术辅助语言学习)

    【发言摘要】

    Learning a second or foreign language is a challenging endeavour which requires various degrees of support. Alongside existing resources and tools such as mobile apps, the emergence of smart technologies including chatbots and conversational agents has the potential to assist language learners wherever they may be. However, whilst a growing number of researchers and developers are working on such intelligent assistants across different disciplines, little is known about their application in language learning. The concept of ‘smart mobile assistance’ seeks to draw together the ways in which such intelligent tools on mobile, wearable and portable devices can provide instantaneous or ongoing support to language learners inside or outside the classroom. Smart assistants might answer questions, support study habits and extend opportunities for language learning and language practice. It is argued that they can support beneficial approaches including self-directed and reflective learning. The keynote will map out this emerging territory, consider some findings from recently analysed research literature, and highlight implications for educators wishing to embrace such developments in their teaching practice.

    Supporting Learning During Collaborative Work: From Text Based Chat to a Smart Office Space(协作学习支持演进——从文本会话到智能办公空间的协作)

    【发言摘要】

    Building on over a decade of AI-enabled collaborative learning experiences in the classroom and online, this talk report on classroom studies in large online software courses with substantial teamwork components. Project courses are believed to be valuable experiences for students to engage in reflection on concepts while applying them in practice. In our classroom work, we have adapted an industry standard team practice referred to as Mob Programming into a paradigm called Online Mob Programming (OMP) for the purpose of encouraging teams to reflect on concepts and share work in the midst of their project experience. At the core of this work are process mining technologies that enable real time monitoring and just-in-time support for learning during productive work. This work builds on a foundation in text-based interaction, and transitions into multi-modal support for collaborative learning in face-to-face collaboration.
