Machine learning tutors affect learners in unforeseen ways, both positive and negative
Virtual reality simulators can help learners improve their technical skills faster and with no risk to patients. In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.
Thursdays (Oct 12, 19, 26 and Nov 2) from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Location: HBHL Offices (Suite 1800, 1010 Sherbrooke W)
