“The arc of AI and this technology is profound. We will look back to the year 2023 and we will talk about it like we did about Sputnik or the moon landing–or birth of the internet. It might be more important than all of those moments.” — Alex Kotran, CEO, The AI Education Project (AiEDU), speaking to state educational agency leaders at the recent “Artificial Intelligence — Opportunities and Risks in Education” webinar series
The arrangement aims to increase campus access to GPT-4.

Above is an image and excerpt from “Exploring the Islands – A History of Hawai‘i” – a “book” I just “wrote” using AllCourse’s AI “BookBaker”!
Can we create meaningful books using AI?
Will this revolutionize non fiction book publishing?
AllCourse has launched a new app– “BookBaker” which enables instant book creation.
Text books are supported especially well — with chapters, images, sidebar, and follow up questions.
Book Baker is still in beta form. We cannot yet edit easily, list creator, or search easily for books created. But José Ferreira and his team are putting out enhancements even as we write.
This application creates books at an amazingly low price point. I’ve created 4 books for under $50. This could have a major impact on district instructional budgets and could empower teachers to revise, share, update books and make them more relevant to their locale and to their students.
Also, these books can be available to parents at no additional cost. Family engagement is so important to student success, yet most district content is not easily accessible to parents.
Here are the “books” I’ve created so far:
“Dada- Art History for High School“
“Exploring the Islands – a History of Hawai‘i“
“The State of Education Technology in the U.S.“
“The Erosion of Democracy in the U.S. and Abroad since 2000”
I am going to test this application with teachers here in Hawai‘i. We hope to create textbooks of quality. And we hope to learn how teachers cound revise and integrate such books into our instructional models.
Khan Academy is slashing the district price of its Khanmigo AI teaching assistant tool, from $60 per student/per year to $35 per student/per year. The price cut reflects a commitment to “making AI as accessible as possible,” the organization said.
