Artificial Intelligence for Learning
Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea hovering at the edge of education. It is already changing how people learn, how teachers teach, and how organizations train at scale. In Artificial Intelligence for Learning, Donald Clark offers a grounded, practical guide to this shift, showing how AI can personalize learning journeys, automate repetitive tasks, improve assessment, and generate deeper insight into learner behavior. Rather than treating AI as magic, Clark examines what it can actually do, where it works well, and where caution is essential. What makes this book especially valuable is Clark’s authority. He is not simply commenting on trends from the sidelines. As a long-time learning technology entrepreneur, writer, and speaker, he has spent decades observing how digital tools move from hype to implementation. That experience gives the book a rare balance of enthusiasm and realism. Clark argues that AI should not replace human educators but strengthen their ability to design better learning experiences. For teachers, instructional designers, HR leaders, and anyone curious about the future of education, this book provides a sharp, accessible map of one of the most important transformations in modern learning.

Intelligent Tutoring Extends Support Beyond Class

Learning Analytics Turn Data into Decisions

Ethics and Bias Must Guide Adoption
The more powerful AI becomes in education, the more dangerous careless implementation becomes.
