Editing Education

On the one hand, in addition to being universally beneficial, education can improve the resilience of communities to climate change, especially in developing countries. ML can help enable personalized and scalable tools for education. On the other, education can empower individuals to adopt more sustainable lifestyles. ML can help educate the public about climate change through conversational agents and adaptive learning techniques.<br />

== Machine Learning Application Areas ==

* '''Creating [[adaptable educational tools]]:''' by using AI and ML techniques to adapt to learner behavior, enabling more powerful tools with less attrition rates.
*'''Improving [[Climate Education|climate education:]]''' by improving existing existing climate education tools or by creating new ones using AI and ML.

==Data==
There are many hurdles in accessing data generated from educational settings, given the privacy issues that arise and the digital divide that exists in many countries,where learning is offline. There are nonetheless a few data sources that can be of interest:

*[https://pslcdatashop.web.cmu.edu/index.jsp '''Datashop''']: a large repository of learning interaction data hosted by Carnegie Mellon University.
*[https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/ser+Knowledge+Modeling+Data+%28Students%27+Knowledge+Levels+on+DC+Electrical+Machines%29 '''User Knowledge Modeling Data (Students’ Knowledge Levels on DC Electrical Machines) Data Set''']: a dataset of user learning activities and knowledge levels in electrical engineering.
*[https://github.com/bkoester/PLA '''University of Michigan source code and data associated with Practical Learning Analytics course''']: code and resources for the Pracitcal Learning Analytics online course offered at Michigan (code in R).
