Publishing People – Investigating AI’s ability to preserve - and facilitate interaction with - the knowledge, experience and specialism of industry experts

英国国家教育联盟（National Education Union）在2022年进行的一项研究发现，近一半的教师（44%）计划在2027年之前离开教师行业，超过一半的教师表示，他们的工作量要么“无法管理”，要么“大多数时候无法管理”（高于2021年的35%）。这些熟练从业者的流失剥夺了教育行业的经验、知识、资源和专业知识：仅在英国，就影响了1000多万年轻人和1000多名没有经验的教师，他们永远无法从他们的指导中受益。该项目将探索人工智能作为“出版”和随后“保存”专业人员的创新工具：服务于创意行业和当前/预计熟练劳动力短缺的部门。这项提议的工作将寻求将一位经验丰富的从业者的专业知识嵌入到现有的教育技术平台EdenFiftyOne中。这项“可行性研究”的重点人物是一位前英语教师、教师培训师和英国教育专家领袖，拥有20年的经验，在提高中学教学、学习和评估标准方面取得了成功。Tom Reynolds也是屡获殊荣的教育科技平台“EdenFiftyOne”的创始人兼首席执行官。EdenFiftyOne促进阅读、写作、口语和听力的通用技能：这些技能是全球英语语言和扫盲教育的教学、学习和评估的基础。EFO平台澄清、监测和追踪51项技能[为教师和学生提供进度/优先事项的清晰画面]，Tom Reynolds经常被要求亲自“教授”这些技能，在全国各地的学校，最近在国际上，通过远程方式为教师和学生提供服务。来自EFO用户的反馈和推荐甚至表明，平台将真正受益于“有Tom在里面”。这项可行性研究将在EFO平台的推动下，将Tom Reynolds基于技能的英语教学的某些方面数字化。在EFO中嵌入一个封闭的人工智能界面，将使任何数量的教师和学习者能够从任何地方、任何时间、无限制地访问他的知识、经验和部门专长，并与之互动。在缺乏行业专家的情况下，这一概念将有助于“提高”那些不自信、经验不足、专业程度较低以及实际接触受限的人的技能。一旦这一概念得到证实，创意部门将有一个人工智能的蓝图，作为出版业的创新工具和当代形式：“出版和保存人”。

2022 research by the UK's National Education Union has found that nearly half of all teachers \[a staggering 44%\] plan to leave the profession by 2027 and that 'over half of teachers say their workload is either 'unmanageable' or 'unmanageable most of the time' \[up from 35% in 2021\]. The loss of these skilled-practitioners deprives experience, knowledge, resources and specialism from the education profession: affecting over 10 million young people and 1000s more inexperienced teachers, who will never benefit from their tutelage, in the UK alone.This project will explore AI as an innovative vehicle for the 'publication' and subsequent 'preservation' of professional people: serving both the creative \[publishing\] industry and sectors with current/predicted skilled-labour shortages.This proposed work will seek to embed the expertise of one experienced practitioner into existing edtech platform, EdenFiftyOne. The person in focus for this 'feasibility study' is a former English teacher, teacher-trainer and UK Specialist Leader of Education with 20 years' experience and a track-record of success in raising standards of secondary teaching, learning and assessment. Tom Reynolds is also the founder/CEO of the award-winning 'EdenFiftyOne' edtech platform.EdenFiftyOne \[EFO\] promotes 51 universal skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening: the skills that under-pin the teaching, learning and assessment of English language and literacy education across the globe.Whilst the EFO platform clarifies, monitors and tracks the 51 skills \[providing a clear picture of progress/priorities for teachers and students\], Tom Reynolds is frequently asked to 'teach' the skills, in person, for the benefit of teachers and students, at schools across the country and, more recently, internationally, via remote means. Feedback and testimonials from EFO users have even suggested that the platform would truly benefit from 'having Tom inside it'.This feasibility study will digitalize selected aspects of Tom Reynolds' skill-based English teaching, as promoted by the EFO platform. Embedding a closed-AI interface within EFO, will enable any number of teachers and learners to access \[and interact with\] his knowledge, experience and sector-specialism, from anywhere, at any time and to an unlimited degree.In the absence of sector specialists, this concept will help to 'up-skill' the less-confident, less-experienced, less-specialist and those for whom physical access is limited. Once this concept has been proven, the creative sector will have a blue-print for AI as an innovative vehicle and contemporary format for the publishing industry: 'the publishing and preserving of people'.
