Use AI tools to create an inclusive learning environment: Review

One question on the final quiz asks you to match AI tools to classroom scenarios. A learner struggles with reading comprehension. The answer is Microsoft's Immersive Reader. It’s a vocabulary test, not a real assessment. You could pass it just by memorizing product names from the previous pages, which is pretty much all this module is: a series of pages to read.

There's no lab, no sandbox, not even a text box to try a prompt. The part on personalizing learning with gen AI suggests creating lesson plans for different reading levels. Great idea. How? What prompt do I use? Which tool? The module doesn't say. It just states that this is possible and moves on. The unit on collaborative learning mentions using AI to group students. Again, how? It feels like reading a list of features from a marketing site.

The content is just a collection of optimistic bullet points. AI can do this, AI can help with that. There's no depth on the practical realities of implementing these tools in a real classroom with real budget constraints and real students. The whole thing feels like it was generated by an AI that was fed a prompt like, 'Write a brief, positive overview of AI in education for a corporate audience.' It’s all potential, no practice. I clicked through it in 15 minutes and learned nothing I couldn't have gotten from a decent blog post.
