Georgia Tech professor, Dr. Ashok Goel has been honored by the University System of Georgia for his dedication in the classroom.
Ashok Goel, professor in the School of Interactive Computing, will receive a Regents Award for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. The award recognizes his groundbreaking contributions to the evolution of online learning.
Widely known as creators of Jill Watson – the world’s first artificially intelligent (AI) teaching assistant – Goel and his Design and Intelligence Lab team continue to build upon the Jill platform to create next-generation AI tools that increase engagement, help retention, and improve learning outcomes for online teachers and learners.
“We’re moving well beyond answering questions about a particular class and getting closer to developing AI technologies that can scale globally, work in tandem with other AIs, and truly be transformative for a broad spectrum of online learners,” Goel said.
