Application of Artificial intelligence in the Education Sector

The educational sector is a vital part of modern society and it is growing with the growth of technology. Today’s schools and colleges are equipped with advanced computers, high-speed internet access, widescreen projectors, and interactive whiteboards. The digitization in the educational sector taking learning experience to the next level. The technology is really helping modern society by personalizing the educational experience by improving learning outcome with shortening the learning time.

The advancement in the educational sector has not stopped yet as the artificial intelligence placing its impact on the educational sector as well.

Artificial intelligence will help the educational sector in the following ways:

• Automate Grading system

You can think about for a teacher who evaluates the answer papers of the students. He/she has to go through each answer sheet to check the answers. There can be numbers of unit tests every month and semester that makes evaluation work hectic and time-consuming.

With AI the work of teachers can be passed along. It is now possible for teachers to automate grading all kind of multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks. It is also possible through the use of AI to evaluate the essay to some extent. It is not so far when AI technology accurately evaluates essays which make teachers focus more on the in-class activities rather investing time in grading.

• The addition of smart content

The concept of smart content makes the boring textbooks into more interactive and informative for the students as well as teachers. AI can help digitize textbooks and more customize study materials for all kind and grade of students. With AI, material such as study guide, practice tests are made available for students and digital curriculum, contents devices like assessment videos, audios are made available for teachers.

• Use of AI-based education applications for students

Children learn the best when the contents are relevant to their interest. Education through the AI-based games helps the children to learn new concepts or idea, go through the different perspectives or experience with different options.

The AI-based game will help in adaptive learning program by responding to the needs of students and allow them to solve the problems and difficulties by own.

• Identify the area of improvement

There can be numbers of students in each classroom of variant capabilities and it is quite difficult for a teacher to give attention to a particular student. It may be possible that a student or a bunch of students may have missed a class then AI will identify the missed portion and letting teacher know when that missed portion need to reteach. Implementation of this method will strengthen the teaching practice.

• Virtual teacher

With the help of AI, it is possible to have a teacher’s assistant at any time and anywhere who can quickly and accurately answer student request. This will help the student in doubt solving even if they are at home or out of the station. The virtual teacher which will be a computerized application can be made available on the internet worldwide.

• Feedback loops for teachers

It is very important to have interaction between teachers and students in helping students to gain confidence and comfort in learning. Feedback loops are very important for teachers as well as parents for engaging students to expand their learning.

• Personalized Learning

Different education program can be designed for the students as per their field of interest and skill set. The student from different age group may have the different level of grasping power and behavior which makes teacher design the education program which will suit them. AI will help to design the educational program by considering the IQ level of the different age group of student. AI can study the learning pace of a student and design the complexity level of learning programs as per the student’s capability. Thus, both fast and slow learner can continue to study at their own convenience.

Though the AI has many advantages in the educational sector it will not replace teachers altogether.
