With the ever-growing integration of technology in society, it was only a matter of time before artificial intelligence (AI) began to enter the classroom. And while AI can be used in several ways, its potential for education is perhaps most significant. When it comes to the field of learning, there’s no one-sizefits-all solution. But, if there’s one constant, it’s that of the teachers playing a pivotal role in students’ success. Teachers are always looking for new ways to engage and motivate their students. And with the advent of new technologies, there are more opportunities than ever to do just that. For one, AI can help identify and address learning gaps earlier on. In addition, AI-enabled technologies can provide more personalized instruction and feedback for students. Not only this, but it can also be used to develop new assessment tools and methods for teachers.

With such advanced techniques in place, teachers can personalise learning for each student, identify areas where students may need extra support, and can also provide realtime feedback. When used correctly, AI has the potential to transform education and help every student reach their full potential. Here are a few ways AI can support teachers and students:

1. Personalised Learning: Each student’s strengths and weaknesses can be thoroughly known and customise learning content and assignments can be processed and delivered accordingly. This way, every student can receive an education that’s tailored just for them – making it more likely for them to succeed.

2. Extra Support: If a student is struggling in a particular subject, AI can provide targeted assistance to help them catch up so that the gap immediately gets bridged, and the students progresses well.

3. Real-Time Feedback: Teachers often have to wait until after an assignment is turned in to give feedback. However, with AI, feedback can be given in real-time, and the intervention can be done in a super quick manner. This way, students can correct their mistakes and learn from them right away.

There is no shor’tage of potential applications for artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Below are a few examples of how AI is being used in classroom teaching:

1. Virtual reality (VR) simulations: Students can use VR to step into realistic simulations of historical events or learn about new concepts in science and math. This will give them the feel of the actual happenings and will also let them lead into the creative world of technology.

2. Online tutoring: AI-powered chatbots can provide one-on-one tutoring outside of school hours. These chatbots can answer questions, give feedback on practice problems, and track progress over time.

3. Predictive analytics: Data from past students can be used to predict which current students are at risk of falling behind. This information can then be used to target interventions and support accordingly.

4. Automated grading: AI can be used to grade essays and other written assignments automatically. This frees up teachers’ time so they can focus on more important tasks, such as providing personalized feedback to students.

5. Learning games: Games that adapt to a player’s skill level and increase in difficulty as they improve are an effective way to keep students engaged in their learning.

With teachers plus AI concepts, the former can simplify complex topics quite efficiently. Through AI, difficult concepts are broken down into manageable chunks for students leading to a drastic improvisation in teaching and learning methodology.

The world is preparing itself for the coming recession; employment crunch, dwindling economies and financial crisis are some of the issues that will strike the doors of each country in the coming years. In that case, outstanding your skills or performing exceptionally well in your career is really challenging. Though there are many brands that are built to make the procedures easy for recruiters as well as for the candidate. Technology is also swaying this process of employability to a great extent and brands are doing wonders with the implementation of technology. To delve deeper into this space, Manikanth Challa, Founder & CEO, Workruit interacted with Sheeba Chauhan of Elets News Network and talked about the technology implementation in the industry and how it helps to build their own platform. Edited excerpts:

How is Artificial Intelligence contributing to building your brand?

AI is used at various stages of our solutions. Because our suite of solutions includes platforms for Job & Recruitment Search, Resume Builder, and Digital Exchange, the use cases appear to be in a variety of areas, such as resume screening, showing relevant recommendations, providing more accurate suggestions to what type of skill programs could help a job seeker in upskilling, and more. An important use case of AI is understanding a user’s resume and assisting them with ways to make it more effective, including using words and sentences and keeping it consistent with the job descriptions in the current market.

We understand the importance of specific tech stacks, and we are constantly upgrading them to ensure that the journey of an employer or job seeker is faster than ever.

As you are one of the leading recruitment platforms, how do you predict the job market in the year 2023?

Workruit has rapidly established a strong reputation in the recruitment industry. To understand the predictions for 2023, we will see a large number of job seekers switch jobs in the coming year for a variety of reasons. Following the pandemic, we’ve seen a new trend of candidates preferring remote jobs over office jobs, but companies are now expecting candidates to return to the workplace as well. Another important aspect we’ve noticed is that companies’ work expectations have changed in the last two years, and the workforce’s work-life balance has shifted. We will see an increase in demand for white and grey collar job opportunities, as well as a significant shuffle in the workforce looking to change jobs in order to change work environments.

Workruit also operates the Digital Employment Exchange of Telangana (DEET) platform in collaboration with Telangana State. Please let us know more about this collaboration?

We are the first platform in India/Asia to digitise, launch, and operate exclusive Digital Skill & Employment Exchange platforms by collaborating with governments to open up private sector job opportunities to all workforce (skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled). The DEET Skill Training module aggregates all courses offered by the Telangana government and private organizations and is provided on a platform to help users find relevant programs. As a result of the collaboration with the State, new opportunities have emerged, and an ecosystem has been established among corporations, colleges, institutions, organizations, and foundations. The authenticity and credibility of this platform exceed that of 90 per cent of the platforms seen on the internet.

With over 10,00,000 users on the platform, we have listed over 8,00,000 job vacancies in the private sector. We are linked to over 1,500 colleges (Private and Government Institutions) and provide over 500 skill training programs offered by various government and private sector organisations, making it easier for youth to gain more insights.

Equifax, Indian School of Business (ISB), NASSCOM, CII, TASK, FTCII, T-Hub, TSCHE, JNTU, OU, MGU, EGMM, ICICI Foundation, and others have formed strategic global and national partnerships with us to provide authenticity and value-added services.

As a resume builder platform, how do you see the significance of resumes in career building?

The importance of a resume or CV in advancing one’s career cannot be undermined. Workruit focuses on providing extended support for building a resume with features such as AI-resume analysis, grammar check, resume comparison to a job description, suitable and relevant text recommendations, and many more that improve the effectiveness of a resume.

With thousands of job seekers constantly entering the job market, ATS and Job Portals require a faster mechanism to streamline and shortlist a few relevant profiles, which digital Resumes and CVs do. However, what is expected of a job seeker is to understand the fundamentals and demonstrate their strengths on the job. Companies are also interested in learning about the candidates’ specific skill sets. In the career development journey, one should have a digital portfolio of their professional and educational information to help them gain more visibility among employers.

What are your plans of expansion for the year 2023?

By the end of the year, we expect to have reached over 5 million job seekers, 5000 enterprises and SMEs, and 2000 colleges. Workruit Resume Builder is available in multiple international languages, including Bahasa, Filipino, Malaysian, and Vietnamese, and we are expanding our solutions to the South East Asian market. We have seen good organic growth in these markets, and there is a high demand for an easy-to-use, on-the-go tool for building digital profiles.

As part of our solutions, we intend to target over 2000+ educational institutions and colleges to offer solutions for assisting students and placement teams in automating the Resume, CV, Cover Letter, and Video Resume processes, allowing students to connect with more internships and job opportunities.

5G Rollout to elevate digital education in leaps & bounds

The landscape of skilling is updating its war field and heading towards upskilling and reskilling. The first step of skilling happens at schools and colleges, so education has to be the foundation to achieve future ready skill sets. Also, technology is the key player in the swift transformation that is happening in every segment, be it education, healthcare, banking, logistics and more. While the world is echoing with technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Extended Learning, and more, India is currently fencing over the newly launched 5G.

The 5th generation of wireless connectivity will bring an entire world of opportunity with it. The education sector which has never imagined being on board for technology, is now the biggest market for driving technology. Experts are saying the fortuity of 5G will transform the brick-and-mortar schools into a completely digital space of education. Remote, online or digital education that spurred hugely during covid was managed well with 4G but with 5G, we can now enhance the last mile connectivity too.

Digitisation has omnipresence in all sectors and 5G is the uptick that will incline it toward the upside curve. Every sector is digitally driven by the emergence of technology and its now out of the question to imagine an industry without tech. Also, there was a huge hike in the number of mobile users even in tier II or III cities in the last decade, the connectivity has already shown wonders in the covid times, 5G will add up to the final flourishing of digitsiation.

Understanding 5G – A tech perspective

The first generation of mobile networks was brought into the picture in the 1980s; after that there was no looking back. 5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks, is unified, with a more capable air interface. It has been curated with an extended capacity to bring next-generation user experiences. It will also empower new deployment models and deliver new services. The major focus is that with high speeds, superior reliability and negligible latency, 5G will expand the mobile ecosystem into new realms.

5G is not only about faster speeds, it is designed to enhance mission-critical communication and for connecting the massive infrastructure of the Internet of Things (IoT). It will enable an entire ecosystem of the advanced tech world. Consumers will be able to download up to 20 Gigabits-per second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per second (Mbps) average data rates. It will blur the teething issues in connectivity, and networking and will bring a new wave of global connectivity.

A push toward digital literacy

Some of the big telecom giants are striding fast for development. In the same regard, Reliance Jio has rolled out 5G across 33 districts across Gujarat, making it the first state in the country to have 5G service across all district headquarters. The first initiative which is launched as a joint effort by Reliance Foundation and Jio, will build 100 schools in Gujarat fully digital. The true 5G powered initiative was named “Education For All”.

5G will prove revolutionary and evolutionary for industries. Edtechs are hoping for the best after the 5G rollout. The entire concept of edtech companies runs on interactive and more tech enabled education, and 5G is all about that. 5G will also enhance empiricism-driven learning, it is high time to move ahead of the ‘old bottle, new wine’ and create a new paradigm of own with the rollout of 5G. With the extended connectivity that 5G will provide, students that are staying in remote places will also be able to connect globally and learn.

Education enthusiasts are even thinking of setting up virtual labs or virtual classes to move from the traditional method of ‘Chalk & talk’. Students can learn geography, about the terrains and topography by virtually visiting the places and also will be able to witness the real-time wars through virtual reality and beat the hardship of memorising dates of history. 5G is an upliftment that can change the very foundation of the development of any nation, i.e education.

Industry speaks

The next-gen of connectivity will bring a new supplement to the education sector and educationists are upholding a lot of thoughts on the topic. According to Professor Rajesh Khanna, president, NIIT University, “5G technology will have a transformational change, at least in how some of us learn. This could be because of its high speed, low latency or command in execution, capability to connect with multiple users and devices simultaneously, and in-built security in how it operates.”

Education Minister of India, Dharmendra Pradhan himself stated, “Education will be one among the major beneficiary sectors of this 5G rollout. Because, now, we are envisioning a digital university. We are going for virtual labs. We are going for virtual teachers. In all areas, if we develop quality content and presentable content, how do we send them to the nook and corner of the country? 5G will be the major vehicle to reach out to the unreachable.” Given that, the adoption of 5G networks in the delivery of education has the potential to address connectivity concerns and simplify classroom operations while enhancing the efficacy of the educational process, said Ajit Chauhan, Chairman, Amity University Online.

“Students can learn through various forms of digital and online content, such as videos, digital resources, online classrooms and online learning management systems, YouTube, and various unique tools like Flipgrid, Infographics, and Storyboards,” said Chauhan.

Washing the digital divide with 5G connection

When working from home and attending online classes became part of new normal of schooling and working culture, we somehow were dependent on internet connections even more. According to a survey, the demand for internet connections nearly spiked to 50 per cent during the first quarter of the pandemic. Despite India being the second-largest in using the internet, there are areas that merely get connectivity of any network.

With the roll-out of 5G, even the places with the least connectivity are hoping for better infrastructure. With 5G comes Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), a new service that will help bridge the Digital Divide. FWA is a cost-effective method of delivering high-speed internet to areas with limited fixed (wireline) broadband infrastructure. FWA works like any other home internet service, but instead of connecting through a cable, it does so through a wireless network using a router.

5G services are very limited and in its initial phase. Though the government is working fast towards digitisation and encouraging the populace to adopt the same. But there are some basic issues that need more focus to mitigate the digital divide. In order to bridge the digital divide in a larger way, the government of India, collaborated with the Pune-based Centre for Advanced Computing (C–DAC), with an objective to bring about 1 million digital books to the doorsteps of common citizens. This will promote literacy by providing an Internet enabled digital library.

Are we ready?

5G is expected to deliver as a catalyst in building India, a $5 Trillion economy by 2024-25. The question is, are we ready yet? According to experts, 5G will build $150 billion for the nation between 2024-40. It will cumulatively deliver a $1 Trillion economy to the nation by 2035. If we go by numbers, we are quite outperforming and will make the biggest market for 5G in the coming years.

Looking at the few pitfalls, we have to keep India’s diverse geographical domains as one of the major challenges. Some of parts of the nation are still fighting to quench 2G data on their phones, so building 5th generation on the land where people are still tangled in the previous generations will be quite tedious. Moreover, the hunger for connectivity, innovation and technology implementation can be very much seen. The 5G and future generations of mobile networking technologies are pushing the Shannon Capacity theorem to the limits, unleashing a constant hunger for more bandwidth and access to data.

Another hurdle that will be considered in a country like ours, is affordability. The survey of 233 countries found that average price of one giga byte data in India is $0.17 (around Rs. 13.5) which makes India the fifth-lowest in terms of internet data rates in the world but some of the sections still need a better price.

The capacity to build such a massive infrastructure will need a zillion efforts, but once made , 5G will serve an entire new ecosystem that will be highly efficient and tech-driven.

As history has witnessed, education is the foundation stone of all future growth and success.

Alongside the same thought, the education sector in the north east has seen an immense spurt in recent years and is ultimately providing the right set of circumstances to enhance, enrich and increase the growth of the region. Highlighting the future fortuity, the region has a large pool of talented young individuals who have the potential to make a mark globally. With good educational institutions and adequate support from the government, they will rise high to their full potential and contribute towards developing north-east India.

1. Online Learning Platforms

One of the most popular and well-known innovations in education is the rise of online learning platforms. These platforms provide educators with a one-stop-shop for all their instructional needs, including course materials, assessment tools, and student engagement data. They also give students 24/7 access to their coursework, which can be a major advantage for working adults who are returning to school or taking classes online. Some of the most popular online learning platforms used by educators today include Blackboard, Edmodo, and Canvas.

2. Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality

With the help of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), educators can now take their students on “field trips” without ever leaving the classroom! These immersive technologies provide students with direct experience of historical events, natural disasters, other cultures, and much more. AR and VR are also being used in some schools to teach vocational skills like plumbing and auto mechanics. As these technologies continue to develop, we’ll see even more innovative applications for them in the field of education.

3. AI-Assisted Instructional Materials

Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to make its way into the world of education in the form of AI assisted instructional materials. These materials are personalized to each student’s individual needs and abilities and can provide real-time feedback on their progress.

As AI becomes more sophisticated, we can expect to see even more amazing applications for it in education.

4. Blockchain Credentials & Certification

One of the most exciting innovations in education right now is blockchain technology. Blockchain is best known as the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but it has so much more potential than that! One area where blockchain is starting to make a big impact is in credentials and certification. With blockchain, students can easily share their transcripts and credentials with employers without having to go through a third party like a school or government agency. This could potentially revolutionize the job market by making it easier for employers to find qualified candidates and speeding up the hiring process!

Technology has been a driving force in the field of education for centuries, from the invention of the printing press to the dawn of the internet age. In recent years, Maharashtra has been at the forefront of educational technology innovation.

One of the most exciting innovations in Maharashtra’s education system is the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). These cutting-edge technologies are providing students with an immersive learning experience like never before. For example, students can now take virtual field trips to historical sites or explore different parts of the world from the comfort of their classroom. With VR and AR, the possibilities for educational enrichment are endless.

Maharashtra is also leading the way in digital education initiatives. The state’s e-learning platforms are helping students to gain access to quality education regardless of their location or economic status. In addition, these platforms are providing educators with new tools to engage and motivate their students. With digital education, every student has the opportunity to succeed. The future of education is exciting, and Maharashtra is at the forefront of its advancement. With continued investment in educational technology, the state is ensuring that its students have the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Similarly, Punjab has also been taking great strides when it comes to innovation in education. From the chalkboard to the overhead projector, educators have long leveraged new tools to improve the delivery of instruction. Today, technology is continuing to revolutionise the field of education, with Punjab leading the way. The province has invested heavily in educational innovations, resulting in a more engaging and personalised learning experience for students. Technology has been used to develop new curriculum, create interactive learning experiences, and increase access to education. As a result, students in Punjab are receiving a top-notch education that prepares them for the 21st century.

The field of education is constantly evolving, which can make it hard for educators to keep up with all the latest innovations. However, by incorporating some of these cutting-edge technologies into their teaching practice, educators can stay ahead of the curve and give their students a truly 21st century learning experience and also create a future-ready workforce.
