SPECIAL EDITION: How AI is changing education

About this episode

The episode explores how AI is being utilized to support teachers and enhance educational practices at Basingstoke College of Technology.

One of the most commonly-touted benefits of AI is its ability to cut down toil and give workers more time to focus on valuable tasks. Few professionals could arguably benefit from this more than teachers, who spend many of their evenings and weekend hours completing paperwork and carrying out marking.
