When we went from typing commands at a prompt to moving a mouse pointer around, it made computers much more accessible. There's no need to memorize a bunch of commands, you can usually figure out how ...

Using massive amounts of data to recognize photos and speech, deep-learning computers are taking a big step towards true artificial intelligence.

Adding a new, complex, technical subject to the curriculum won't be easy. We hear from students, teachers, entrepreneurs and educators about the challenges.

Check out the full post for more examples and details of the often confused differences between learning to code and learning to think (via computer science classes). Don't learn to code.

Controlling computers with the mind and learning motor skills rely on a similar set of brain regions.

Computers use artificial intelligence to do everything from drive cars to pick music we like. But what exactly is artificial intelligence? How does it work? What are its limits?

Using algorithms partially modeled on the human brain, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have enabled computers to predict the immediate future by examining a photograph ...

Using computers to support student collaboration has significant positive effects on their learning, according to a comprehensive new review of more than 400 research studies conducted since 2000.

Computers Learn to Play By Rules In a competition designed to spur artificial intelligence, computers will play games without knowing any of the rules.

ABSTRACT This paper addresses an indispensable skill using a unique method to teach a critical component: helping children learn to read by using computer-assisted oral reading to help children learn ...

Scientists at Google and elsewhere are turning to the 30-year-old digital music standard MIDI to teach neural networks how to write music.

Computers are the same. Just as humans learn mostly through observation or trial and error, computers will have to go beyond supervised learning to reach the holy grail of human-level intelligence.
