Predict: The Missing Variable: The Missing Variable - Paperback

Pearson, Russell: - Russell Pearson is an educational technologist and instructional design specialist who has spent most of his career working in higher education. His work focuses on helping faculty integrate emerging technologies into teaching in ways that support learning rather than replace it.For decades, educators have pursued what many consider the "holy grail" of education: the ability to provide individualized instruction tailored to each student's needs. Various educational technologies have promised to move us closer to that goal. To Pearson, artificial intelligence may be the first technology capable of meaningfully delivering on that promise.At the same time, he regularly works with faculty who have both deep curiosity and real concerns about the role of AI in the classroom-especially generative AI. Much of his work involves helping educators navigate those tensions and find ways to use AI thoughtfully and responsibly.
