Episode 175: The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work?

Welcome to the EdTech Throwdown.  This is episode 175 called “The British School Replacing Teachers with AI - Can It Work”  In this episode, we’ll share the story of the british school that is experimenting with a “teacherless” classroom led by AI!  We’ll also talk about why human teachers don’t have to worry as we discuss the best ways that AI can integrate with humans, not get replaced by it.  This is another episode you don’t want to miss.  Check it out.

Segment 1: AI Taking Over Teacher Jobs?

Narrative:  We heard lots of gloom and doom about AI in schools, but this is likely overblown.

There IS however, a school that is experimentally trying to replace teachers with AI.

The David Game College in London will replace its traditional teaching programme with an AI-enabled ‘adaptive learning’ system, opening a ‘teacherless’ course for 20 students in September.

The students will use a mix of artificial intelligence platforms on their PCs, in conjunction with VR headsets. Dubbed the Sabrewing programme, each student will receive a personalised learning experience with a self-paced approach that is ideal for examination resit students.

More on the  Sabrewing programme …

One important message for teachers - this WILL NOT BE THE NEW NORM

Stay tuned for segment 2 where we’ll talk about the ways AI will continue to incorporate with live human teachers, not replace them.
