What is the topic?
The topic of this reflection is emerging technologies in online learning, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR). From my research, I learned that AI in education can support personalized learning and help teachers with tasks like giving feedback and marking, while VR and AR in education can create immersive learning experiences and make abstract ideas easier to see and explore.
This topic is important to me because I already use AI tools in my own studies. They help me study my major, organise my ideas, and check my writing, and this sometimes makes learning feel less stressful. At the same time, I also worry that if I rely too much on AI, I will stop thinking and writing independently, and my own abilities will not be improved. I also hope that my work reflects my true understanding, and not just what AI tools can generate.
In the future, I want to use emerging technologies more carefully. I will try to write my own ideas first and then use AI mainly to edit and check my work, instead of letting it do everything. If I have a chance to design online learning activities, I will try to use AI in ways that support critical thinking, such as asking students to compare their own answers with AI suggestions. MOreover, I will be more careful with the personal data I share with AI tools and other online platforms.
