APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION
- When we think of Artificial Intelligence in
Education, we find different schools of thought, where one group supports and
the other is strongly against its implementation.
- It is universally accepted that
education is a sector, where human-to-human interaction is a must. Parallely,
the integration of AI cannot be overlooked considering the advantages it could
provide.
- Let us explore the
opportunities AI applications can provide in the field of education here.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing
in every sector at a faster pace including education. It is disrupting the
traditional teaching methodology through its learning algorithms. The
algorithms indeed are helping the teachers to uplift the students in a more
personalised and responsive manner.
The Applications of Artificial Intelligence in
Education is offering opportunities for student engagement against the typical
four-walled classroom. Though AI cannot replace our teachers, AI applications
are used in one or the form today in education. Let us have a broad outlook of
these applications.
ADAPTIVE LEARNING:
It is one of the promising application for the
benefit of students. AI in schools help the students for adaptive learning by
tracking their academic progress, modify the course or its learning pace,
informing the teacher about the difficulty in comprehension, and, more.
AUTOMATED GRADER:
Though automatic grading has a long way to go,
several standardized tests are using automatic grading systems.
At an initial phase, the teachers submit
graded essays as a sample to distinguish good and a bad essay. The software
accumulates the knowledge as it grades more essays and provides specific
feedback instantly.
However, the Robo-graders replace a part of
the grading system, and human grader is always there for further assessment.
CHATBOT:
Students’ evaluation is necessary as it gives a
valuable information and also needs an elevation from the existing setup. The
AI-driven chatbots seem to be promising in increasing the feedback
quality.
The chatbot collects the students’ opinion through
a dialog interface as if it is a real interviewer and look reasons too for
varied opinions. The system is unbiased.
CHAT CAMPUS:
As the name itself indicates, you can chat with AI
to know the campus. You can understand the life on the campus like searching a
lecture hall, application procedure for the next semester, get assignments,
know the cafeteria, parking lot, library, campus events, interviews, and more.
DATA ACCUMULATION:
Using previous search queries, Artificial
intelligence in education can suggest related content for the students. For
instance, if you are looking into preposition part of English grammar, it may
suggest further readings on complete parts of speech as a whole, or other parts
of speech like Noun, Adverb, and, etc.
PERSONALIZED LEARNING:
It is evident that the pace and needs for learning
differ from one learner to another. Accordingly, the learning instructions and
approach should vary and optimized for individual benefits.
Artificial intelligence in education can
adapt quickly to the individual needs and deliver personalized learning
methodologies and activities driven by the learners’ interest. And, it
incorporates complex tasks readily and accelerates the learning task too.
PROCTORING:
E-learning, the future of learning needs supporting
technologies. AI-powered systems ensure the authenticity of the student to take
the exam and prevent from cheating.
It can be used for attending competitive exams,
school/college admission test, promotions, and, more.
SMART CONTENT:
Smart content creation is already introduced into
the primary and secondary school, college, and corporate environment. With the
help of AI, the textbooks could be split into small chunks of digestible
guides, which is easy to read and understand.
The study guide includes flashcards, MCQs, fill in
the blanks, pointers, true/false, chapter summary, and, so forth. For instance:
Cram 101, Netexlearning, and, etc.
VIRTUAL FACILITATOR:
Though virtual humans are not welcomed in the place
of a human instructor, virtual instructors could be used in the
educational and therapeutic environment. It can think, act, and react to the
students’ queries and act as an assistant for the teacher.
It could be used successfully in remote training
programs.
FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION:
No doubt, education in one sector where a
human-to-human interaction is a rule, and it is unbreakable in the future too.
Though the integration of AI is taking its pace into this sector, it may not
develop the human attributes of understanding and responsiveness.
Still, the strength of AI can be explored to
a greater extent in regards to closing the gaps of learnings.
The analytics of students’ massive data,
smart content providers, tailored learning methodologies, and more could be
explored for the benefit of students and teachers alike for a continued and
successful learning.
