Artificial Intelligence has crept into our lives gradually in the past few years. It helps us in parking our cars, helps us in master levels in video games. AI kind of sparks excitement about the future of how we teach and learn. But in real-time, it has been part of many e-learning platforms for the last long time, it is helping us learn more efficiently. Personalized learning, recommendation of resources, automated grading, and prediction of attrition rates.  

What is the Role of AI in the Education Industry?

Even though the AI culture has not been established everywhere or in every industry, it is going to be the next big thing in e-learning. From kindergarten to higher studies to corporate things, everywhere AI is going to have a bigger impact. It will improve learner’s experience by offering the chance to creative personalised and adaptive learning features.

1. Intelligent Tutoring Systems

AI can condense lectures into flashcards and smart guides. It can be used to tutor students based on difficulties they are having in understanding as well as the pattern of queries they are having. Plus, it can help students with homework and test-preparations.

Like, an intelligent tutoring system called Sherlock is used by Airforce technicians to detect electrical system problems in aircraft.

2. Virtual Facilitators

By using trending technologies, an actual lecturer can be replaced by a robot. AI, 3-D gaming, and animations are used to create and develop realistic virtual characters and interactions.

3. Content Analytics

Educators, content providers and software developers can gain important insights into learner’s progress. They can observe a behavioural pattern of a student and help him or her with the difficulties he/she is facing in a particular topic or a subject.

4. Teacher and AI Collaboration

The long-time vision of AI in education is where teachers and Artificial Intelligence can function together for the betterment of the students as well as the education system. AI and teachers can collaborate in driving efficiency, personalization and streamlining admin tasks.

5. Universal Access

Artificial Intelligence can make classrooms available to everyone – including learners who understand different languages, who have visual or hearing impairments. Like there are some software or video conferencing apps who creates real-time subtitles while the tutor/ teacher is speaking something.

What is the future of AI in E-learning?

As multiple education institutions, organizations have started planning to implement AI in various operations, there are still challenges which need to be resolved. One of the most crucial challenges is to prepare both students and teachers/ tutors to adopt this change. It is important to make students understand AI will automate and perform repetitive tasks. 

Artificial Intelligence based learning systems can be excellent in teaching subjects like foreign languages and mathematics but a human teacher still needs to be there to guide students/ learners  on the topics or subtopics, they do not understand the nuances and exceptions to rules. 

How AI education technology is democratizing education

AI in EdTech has a variety of benefits, business, academic and social. AI is helping to make high-quality education accessible to everyone. It allows learners to learn at their own pace. AI-driven solutions answer learner’s questions, recommend similar topics, generate personalised syllabus, grade assignments. It predicts which students are about to drop out – and provides them with the support they require while making sure the money is not going to escape your business.

AI in the e-learning system that brings positive effects on children. Even though many educators or software developers fear that AI technologies might replace humans. But the truth is Artificial Intelligence will serve as an excellent support system for human experts.
