Artificial Intelligence in Education Sector

 

Technological advancement in the field of education industry is as important as it is in the field of business, communication, travel or health sectors. Since the entire world is digitalization, it is important to revamp the educational sector with advanced technology so that we are able to bring in transformation in this sector too. From digitalization and automation to the implementation of technologies like machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, the global education sector is benefitting a lot from the technological advancements. Let’s dig in further to know how Artificial Intelligence can prove to be beneficial in bringing changes to the education industry.

 

Connecting to the Students Globally

 

Artificial Intelligence has introduced the concept of smart classrooms for students. This new technological advancement is beneficial for teaching students who speak and understand different languages or to the students with visual impairments. For eg: Free PowerPoint plugin presentation translators create subtitles of whatever the teacher is speaking. This teaching method is beneficial for students who cannot attend their schools on a regular basis due to an illness or some other reason.  

 

Assistance on Automated Grading

 

Various App developers are investing their time in making AI competent enough to help the teachers with grading. Some of the schools have already made their apps proficient enough to automate grading of multiple choice materials. With this advancement in AI, it is expected that technology will be able to grade more than standardized assessments.

 

Technology to meet the Needs of Students

 

Earlier the education system was more teacher-centric due to which schools were not able to fulfill the demands of students with special needs. To remove this learning barrier, schools are now investing a huge amount of their money in the education system so that it becomes more student-centric. AI also acts as a personalized learning companion for students. It suggests study materials for students with special needs that can lead them to success.

 

Reducing the Burden of Teachers  

 

Technological advancement is no more limited to a particular segment of the education system. Apart from offering assistance to the teachers with grading and sorting of students data, it now helps them in managing the routine tasks. Teachers are now making use of AI enabled ChatBots for communicating with students.

 

Quick and Easy Identification of Classroom Weaknesses

 

At times there are various factors responsible for the growth of students. Sometimes it becomes difficult for the teachers to analyze what could be the reason behind bad performance of students in academics.  In such cases, AI could act as a support system. In the near future, AI will help in identifying classroom weaknesses and will let the teacher know what teaching materials can be used to inculcate the concept in the mind of the students.

 

Though there are no chances of Artificial Intelligence replacing teachers, it is possible that it can definitely help in reshaping the ways through which teachers will teach and students will learn.

 

To sum it up, the introduction of artificial intelligence in the education industry sounds relevant enough to make education industry grow and help students and teachers perform better collectively.
