AI applications are now commonplace in education and research. However, there is still a lack of practical solutions to adapt them to specific requirements.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly permeating various areas in education and research, raising not only technical but also many professional, methodological, legal, ethical, and other questions.
The problem: There is an overwhelming amount of information on all these aspects, but mostly from users sharing their experiences or expectations of AI. Professional AI developers are (still) not really involved. Thus, the picture of AI's potentials and risks remains blurred and distorted. And there are no synergies with actors from AI development to create solutions that truly meet the needs in education and research.
minima.media wants to change this by cooperatively developing and providing AI solutions with actors from all areas of education, research, and technology.
Prompting
Shit in, shit out. Only with precise input can you get output that can be used meaningfully. But it is not easy to create precise input or prompts for an AI.
Prompt templates are an efficient way to pre-structure AI prompts. They can be used immediately without special knowledge, can be easily shared with others, and allow easy adaptation to specific requirements.
Content Enrichment
Educational content or research results usually need to be continually enriched. With custom AI templates, existing content can be analyzed and enriched with additional qualified information. And new content can be created in a targeted manner, aligned with new knowledge or research interests.
Content Validation
Educational or research resources should be continuously checked to ensure their content is still up-to-date and correct. This process can now be largely automated, allowing inconsistent or incorrect content to be quickly identified and corrected.
Connecting Knowledge Resources
AI solutions make it possible to extract educational content or research results from other sources and use them in your own educational or research projects. This not only improves their quality and timeliness but also enables collaborative projects of all kinds.
Auditory Knowledge Transmission
With digitalization, oral forms of knowledge transmission have become popular again, and podcasts are among the preferred formats in digital knowledge communication. However, the production of podcasts, audio guides, audiobooks, or other auditory knowledge media has always been time-consuming and expensive, and in multilingual productions, it has not always been easy to find the right speakers. With AI, it is now possible to generate voices that are almost indistinguishable from human voices, in all languages, even in dialects. They are generated from texts, allowing detailed adjustment of intonation, volume, tempo, and speech melody.
