We hypothesize that computer-based learning can play a critical role in connecting ‘‘bottom-up’’ (sensorimotor-first) learning in the arts to ‘‘top-down’’ (creativity-first) learning, by employing machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques that can play the role of the sensorimotor expert. This approach allows learners to experience components of higher-level creativity and social interaction even before developing the prerequisite sensorimotor skills or academic knowledge.}, publisher = {Springer}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/using-machine-learning-support-pedagogy-arts/}, pages = {1631-1635}, journal = {Personal and Ubiquitous Computing}, volume = {17}, }
