Technology Use Plan Using Artificial Intelligence to create a Standards based Model for complex data network components. Timothy I Copley Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University Course Number: LDT 501 Instructor’s Full Name: Leanna Archambault, PhD Due Date: 02/26/2023 Technology Use Plan Introduction: A brief summary of the technology use plan is to use the concept of Situated Learning Theory, the learning that occurs within authentic context, culture and activity.  Situated learning is uniquely situated in the corporate environment, it tends to promote the idea that students learn better in collaborative group settings, where the activities are based on real-life experiences.  The situation will be using an advanced tool in AI (Artificial Intelligence) a chatbot, to stimulate learning of the different parts of the project.  It will be a group project whereas a small group of 2-3 students will each work on different parts of the project and come togeth...

Website for LDT501 Group 7b   In-depth Explanation Produced by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot that has the ability to answer questions, and write a variety of documents, stories, songs, and more in a relatively informal, almost human discourse. ChatGPT can write an entire essay based on a prompt, help troubleshoot errors in coding, and write lesson plans. The potential uses and applications seem like a dream come true for some and a nightmare in academic integrity for others, but we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. Chatbots, in general, are nothing new and a common feature of many industries and disciplines. ChatGPT is a chatbot in the sense that it is an online tool programmed to imitate human conversations with users and used in a variety of businesses to assist customers with common concerns or questions (e.g., FAQs). Like other chatbots, ChatGPT is dependent on information provided by the user, so the complexity level of what...

 Principles of communities of innovation Principles of communities of innovation that resonate with me to create an effective learning vision include collaboration, experimentation, and continuous improvement. Collaboration or encouraging learners to work and share ideas together helps the students learn from each other. Experimentation in my field is probably a key attribute to encourage learners to try new approaches and come up with new ideas.  The whole technical community has been built by people coming up with unique ideas on ways to solve a common problem.  Continuous improvement or regularly evaluating the learning practices to make them more effective and allows the fine tuning of the process making the whole process more fluid and allows for fine tuning to create dynamic and engaging environments focused on the leaner. Tools Technology tools that can help create a learner-centric environment include learning management systems, educational software, and virtual ...

 Link to our Presentation Situated Learning in the Corporate World   What was your individual contribution to your own group presentation? They asked me to address Instructional design Situated Learning in a corporate setting.  Which was just perfect for me.  Both the setting and the learning theory.  I live and have lived in the corporate setting from all of my working life.  At least for the last 30 years or so.  When I first started out I did work for a university but still did corporate type stuff.  Situated learning is also ideal for the corporate learning it generally is referred to as training or train the trainer.  Of which I've had to do both types of development.  Hands on learning generall     What challenges and opportunities did you find in working in a collaborative group online? Situated learning theory posits that learning is best accomplished in the context of real-life tasks and activities. In corporate s...
