AI tools for education
I am constantly being asked if I can provide a list of tools for AI in education. I started to put one together myself, but then gave up when I found so many people were doing much better lists. Anyway this one is from Connie Malamed – the elearning coach. Incidentally, Connie says: “I did not include image generators because they use artists’ work to train their AI models but give no credit or compensation to the artists.” I agree!
