NewsCongratulations to Gagan Jhajj on his successful application for the Alberta Innovates Graduate Student Scholarship (AI GSS) 2023 ! Starting this fall, under Dr Oscar Lin's supervision, Gagan is working on his MSc IS thesis as part of a research program funded by NSERC DG and Alberta Innovates on developing mathematical models and computer algorithms for representing and predicting student knowledge proficiency and making decisions/recommendations about instructor pedagogical strategies with the goal to provide personalized learning paths, learning activities, exercises, assessments, and feedback.
Introduction to IES Group
Information and Communication Technology (ICT), esp. the Internet and the World Wide Web, AI, and machine learning have been revolutionizing education.
Educational systems are computerized and networked. They become fertile soil for artificial intelligence (AI) that makes educational systems smart
and efficient for both educators and learners. The only limitation is your imagination. When we work together, we can make things happen.
Our research is funded by NSERC and Athabasca University. We are a group of researchers who devote our attention to the study of AI for education.
