    There is AI in Team explores the evolution of artificial intelligence and human augmentation, and how they are transforming the way we live, work, learn, and play. It discusses the importance of the human factor to foster communication and empathy in both personal and professional settings. The author includes scenarios of collaboration between humans, cyborgs, and cobots, and emphasizes the importance of integrating technology ethically. The book also discusses the potential of AI and robotics to improve education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. The author encourages readers to embrace partnerships with technology and to learn how to adopt new tools like generative AI to upskill, adapt, and maintain their relevance in the workforce. Humans have an opportunity to be more enabled and capable of greater achievements than ever before.

    "Ken Hubbell had me at the first key takeaway in his book: 'Prioritize diversity & inclusion in the development of AI & robotics to mitigate bias & reinforce social equality.' We desperately need a billion more humans literate in AI systems. We need more people involved in the creation of AI than we have had to date. Thank you, Ken, for joining the chorus and adding your voice!" - Phaedra Boinodiris, IBM Consulting's Global Leader for Trustworthy AI and author of AI for the Rest of Us

    "Ken has penned an incredibly deep yet wonderfully accessible overview of the field of AI and the seismic changes ahead of us...Ignore this book at your own peril." - Dr. Tony O'Driscoll, Fuqua School of Business, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University, Author of Everyday Superhero

    This book is an essential read for anyone concerned about the impact of AI and robotics on the future of work. Best of all, it provides key action items and takeaways you can apply today to prepare you, your children, your businesses, your schools, and your communities to safely work with technology and together create a better world.

  • App Development Paradigms for Instructional Developers

    Spriner

    To create instructional apps for desktop, laptop and mobile devices, developers must select a development tool. Tool selection is critical and complicated by the large number and variety of app development tools. One important criterion to consider is the type of development environment, which may primarily be visual or symbolic. Those distinct environments give rise to competing development paradigms. This work contrasts LiveCode and MoSync, tools from the two paradigms, which enables informed…

    To create instructional apps for desktop, laptop and mobile devices, developers must select a development tool. Tool selection is critical and complicated by the large number and variety of app development tools. One important criterion to consider is the type of development environment, which may primarily be visual or symbolic. Those distinct environments give rise to competing development paradigms. This work contrasts LiveCode and MoSync, tools from the two paradigms, which enables informed tool selection. Contrasts are drawn with respect to prerequisite knowledge requirements for development, differences in the development of user interfaces, as well as differences in computer programming and app deployment. To maximize utility of the contrasts, this article considers the differences in apps developed for the same instructional purpose. Using a drag and drop technique with feedback, users learn to identify paintings created by Rembrandt. Additionally, the apps provide a method for storing results in a database.

  • Capitalizing on App Development Tools and Technologies

    Springer

    Instructional developers and others creating apps must choose from a wide variety of app development tools and technologies. Some app development tools have incorporated visual programming features, which enable some drag and drop coding and contextual programming. While those features help novices begin programming with greater ease, questions arise about the overall utility of visual tools for app development.
