The use of technology within the education system over the last few decades has been astounding. Technologies like AI, Machine Learning and education software aren’t just changing the eld for students, they are shaking up the role of educators, creating philosophical shifts in approaches to teaching and remodelling the classroom. In this new scenario, classes move away from traditional lectures and instead focus on interactive learning, with question and answer sessions, reviews and quizzes, discussions, Virtual labs, and project-based learning. It usually involves customization and personalization, such that educational content is tailored to meet the needs of specic students.
AI enabled Platforms like Coursera, Udacity and BYJU’S etc. have completely changed the Teaching & learning experience of learners and tutors. Its amazing to witness how AI is useful in automating the tedious activities in education like test assessment and gradings. They may not be able to truly replace human grading but they are pretty close of it. Its allowing teachers to focus more on in-class activities and student’s interaction than grading. The experience of personalized learning through growing numbers of adaptive learning platforms, games and software is astonishing. These systems respond to the needs of the student, putting greater emphasis on certain topics, repeating things that students haven’t mastered, and generally helping students to work at their own pace. Adaptive learning has already had a huge impact on education across the nation and as AI advances in the coming decades, adaptive programs like these will likely only improve and expand.
