From the publishers of Invent to Learn
In The Learner's Apprentice: AI and the Amplification of Human Creativity, Ken Kahn introduces a fresh perspective of using generative Artificial Intelligence, known as chatbots, to co-create educationally rich experiences and interactive software. Kahn shows how teachers can guide students-from elementary school to college-through the process of creating powerful software applications (apps), illustrated stories, conversations with notable figures, interactive games and adventures, and more.
In The Learner's Apprentice, you'll learn how to use AI to:
Make software - without learning to code: Learn to make playable interactive games, scientific simulations, augmented reality games, and mobile apps. Make AI-enhanced software apps and train your own machine learning tasks. Create history, science, and literature adventures: Build historically accurate interactive adventures, debate with notable figures, or create immersive science fiction stories in any language. Design mathematically rich representations: Create charts, graphs, and apps that explore mathematics from proofs to data science. Enhance creativity and storytelling: Write and illustrate stories across different styles, time periods, and subjects, and connect creative writing to various disciplines.
Learning by co-creating with a chatbot
The book's ideas democratize and reimagine a variety of disciplines. There is something here for everyone-affording learners of all ages opportunities to be historians, mathematicians, scientists, and authors, rather than being taught math, science, language, or history.
Making the case for creative AI in education
This is not a book of fantasies about replacing teachers with machines. Rather, The Learner's Apprentice models generative AI as an apprentice, colleague, co-thinker, proofreader, pair coder, brainstorming buddy, and illustrator-an intellectual ally that amplifies human potential.
The book's hundreds of examples will challenge you to rethink everything you thought you knew about AI in education while demonstrating that AI can be used creatively and constructively.
A novel approach to programming
The Learner's Apprentice advocates that everyone can co-create software applications that can run in a browser (known as web apps). Students may partner with a chatbot to create remarkable web apps without spending months or years learning to code. The book shares hundreds of detailed examples of how to make interactive web apps that are useful, fun, school-friendly, and support learning across the curriculum.
A real AI expert
Ken Kahn, Ph.D. brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this revolutionary book. After getting his doctorate at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Ken has been an advocate for creative computing as a computer scientist, researcher at Xerox PARC, software developer, and professor of learning and computing. The book's examples document a thoughtful exploration of the untapped potential of chatbots and are shared with lively anecdotes and practical lessons for readers to try themselves.
