AI-driven education: Enhancing teaching and learning in the digital age
Al-driven education ecosystem can now be used at various educational levels from elementary schools to universities to enhance teaching, learning and research processes. One of its notable uses in education is its ability to facilitate personalized experiences.
At the adaptive training level, a tool called DreamBox has been developed, which uses artificial intelligence to adapt the curriculum to the learning ability of the students. For example, if Dreambox is being used for math lessons, it determines each student’s level of difficulty based on their answers and ensures that it fits the students’ ability. Other programs are also being used at the adaptive training level, such as Newton and Smart Sparrow. Khan Academy has developed Khanmigo which offers services such as personalized tuition.
From this October, an introductory coding course will be taught by an artificial intelligence teacher at Harvard University. Because these teachers can teach this curriculum more effectively than human teachers. Now, a company called, Quantiphi has emerged, which provides large-scale artificial intelligence-based tutors that help students better understand multiple contexts and diverse curricula, review coursework, as well as provide useful advice and suggestions to enhance students’ individual abilities. Artificial intelligence language learning methods such as Duolingo can provide instruction in interactive and personalized language.
Some institutions, such as the University of Georgia State, have implemented chatbots called Pawns that help students find on-campus resources, schedule meetings, and access educational support services. This enhances students’ self-reliance and ability to access information on time.
Over the past two years, a new ecosystem has emerged from artificial intelligence systems called “Generative AI”. This form of it is creative in nature, and it creates original content, just as humans do. These works range from music to the visual arts, from writing letters of literature to creating new software codes, materials that meet the potential of skilled human experts. The rapid penetration of Artificial Intelligence in the field of education can also be gauged from the fact that GPT-4 was released through OpenAI in December 2022, but it is now one of the many artificial intelligence tools available to students and researchers in this short period of time.
Teachers can save their precious time by using artificial intelligence tools to rank students’ exam answers in their given tasks. Similarly, Turnitin’s Feedback Studio and Gradescope provide a detailed overview of students’ subjects using artificial intelligence algorithms. They can analyze not only grammar, and spelling but also the quality and originality of the content. The advent of virtual classrooms through artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way education is delivered in many schools, especially in remote areas.
Platforms such as ClassCraft integrate artificial intelligence to make the learning stage enjoyable, thus increasing student motivation and interest. Virtual artificial intelligence teams can also perform tasks such as automated attendance, short-term interpretation of lectures, and analyzing students’ emotional states. Its predictive abilities are helping to enhance the achievements of the students.
The University of Texas uses artificial intelligence algorithms to predict the educational challenges students face according to their abilities whether they should continue or leave it. This information comes from a careful analysis of students’ past academic records, attendance, and engagements, which allows teachers to help students by intervening in a timely manner.
Iris AI is an artificial intelligence platform that allows researchers to identify relevant papers, articles, and their resources on this platform by using artificial intelligence algorithms, putting research topics or questions, thus significantly accelerating the process of literature review that helps researchers access a wider range of sources and improve the quality of their research. Which is also contributing to the professional development of teachers.
