8 Ways AI Can Support Students’ Learning Experience

Technology plays a significant role in education nowadays, and it's a hot topic. Others claim artificial intelligence will revolutionize education and improve education, while others claim artificial intelligence will take over teaching at students' and teachers' expense.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is slowly making its way into education, although we haven't seen robots in the classroom yet. Specific tasks can be rendered easier with artificial intelligence. Shortly, AI will be used to make grading relatively quick and easy on computer equipment. This will significantly improve the quality of education by helping students be as successful as possible.  

The technology of AI is now a part of our everyday lives. We have intelligent sensors for taking spectacular photos, automatic parking systems, and personal assistance. Additionally, AI is present in education, and it's changing the traditional ways of education drastically. 

Teachers and learners are already benefitting from machine-learning capabilities, improving access to information, and enhancing learning. Listed below are some examples of how machine learning is being used in education or will be soon. 

  • Personalized Learning 

Netflix uses the same technology at schools to provide personalized recommendations. There's no evidence that the traditional systems cater adequately to the middle class. The curriculum is specifically designed to target 80% of the middle class. When they're in the bottom 10%, the pupils still fail to attain their full potential. However, when they're in the top 10%, they have a difficult time following along. By offering personalized recommendations to each student, teachers can perform much better than before. With AI, students receive personal assistance with their in-class assignments as well as their final exams. 

It's essential to give students immediate feedback through artificial intelligence apps since they're targeted and customized. Lessons can be condensed into intelligent flashcards or study guides. Students can also be taught based on the challenges they face in learning class materials. In comparison to the past, students now have a more significant window of time to interact with their professors. Although some methods are still in their infancy stage, they'll soon become reputable digital teachers who know how to tutor online and are always ready to serve all students' educational needs. 

  • Easy to Understand Materials 

Reading complex texts, especially when they contain idioms and complex sentence structures, can be difficult for students with learning disabilities. To make these texts more understandable, AI is being developed to do so. Students with learning disabilities should find it easier to relate and engage with the material if they simplify it or replace famous quips with simple alternatives. However, before anything else, parents should ease through introducing technology to aid learning among their children at a young age. 

  • Educators Access to More Data 

In today's classroom, the number of students in it is typically the best predictor of classroom success. AI has enabled educators to have more access than ever before to a variety of data that can provide them with valuable insights into a student's characteristics. Students with learning disabilities may find out where the teaching isn't practical or subjects where they're having difficulty. The data may also provide educators with a better insight into just how well they're doing than their peers. 

  • Globalized Learning 

With AI onboard, education has no boundaries, and technology can eliminate all of them. Technology transforms learning, enabling students to learn from wherever they are in the world, anytime and at any pace. Through AI-powered education, students learn the fundamentals of computer literacy. With the advent of more technological advances, there'll be a broader range of courses available online. With AI, students will be able to learn from anywhere. 

  • Identification of Learning Disabilities 

Learning to identify learning disabilities in students is the first step in providing effective learning for them. Not all current testing is highly effective in detecting dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities. Some teachers are being trained on new AI systems to administer more effective tests to discover some of these conditions. A learning disability can be identified and the resources available can be used for the student. 

  • Simplified Administrative Tasks 

Academic institutions and teachers have been spending a great deal of time grading exams, reviewing homework, and offering assistance to their students. With technology, grading can be automated in instances where multiple tests are being administered. So, professors wouldn't be spending as much time grading them as they would be with their students. AI is expected to do this soon. In fact, software providers have been creating new ways to grade written answers and regular essays. The school admissions board also stands to gain a lot from AI. AI is running automated screening and processing of paperwork. 

  • Uses AI for Student's Reliable Feedback 

Students with learning disabilities often have difficulty providing consistent feedback due to a lack of constant feedback. It can be challenging in a large classroom setting to spend time helping a handful of students. AI is getting increasingly advanced, which makes it possible to give students direct feedback on their performance. The system allows students to work at their own pace as needed to master the material and it won't move on until students demonstrate mastery. 

  • New Innovations 

IT departments can use AI to optimize various IT processes, such as reducing traffic jams and improving pedestrian safety. In a similar fashion, schools can determine effective methods of preventing students running in corridors from getting lost. Also, AI can be used in creating data-driven forecasts so that the operations department can analyze complex data. Hence, we can adequately plan for the future, assign seats during school functions, or order food from local cafeterias. School districts can drastically reduce waste by eliminating over-ordering, thus saving money. With new efficiencies, AI can support itself. Technology costs upfront especially for installation and training. But ultimately, these costs become negligible since both hardware and software become more affordable with time. 

Conclusion 

We can make both students' and teachers' lives easier with artificial intelligence. The present-day invention is present in our education system and in our lives today. Individualized learning provides every student with access to quality education with AI supporting education.
