Artificial Intelligence in Education: Seven Applications

1. Adaptive learning

This is the most promising AI application in education. It will help track the individual progress of each student.

I have mastered the topic - it's time to write the test, the knowledge leaves much to be desired - the system notifies the teacher about the difficulties in understanding the material.

AI can also be used in intelligent learning systems.

2. Personalized learning

Personalized learning is a wide range of educational programs in which the methodology and pace of learning depend on the needs of each student, his special interests and preferences.

AI adapts the educational process to the individual learning rate of each student and offers tasks of increasing complexity.

This approach allows everyone to choose a comfortable mode: you can study at a fast or slow pace.

3. Automatic grading

The AI-based automatic grading system uses computer programs that mimic the behavior of teachers when checking homework.

She can assess the student's knowledge, analyze the responses, provide individual feedback and create a learning plan tailored to the individual.

4. Interval training

This educational technique using technology allows you to effectively consolidate the material covered.

Polish engineers have created an application that tracks exactly what a student is studying and when. Using AI, the application determines when the student can forget new information and recommends to repeat it. You can get sustainable knowledge through several approaches.

5. Assessment of the teacher by students

Educational institutions pay attention to the attitude of pupils to teachers and conduct questionnaires. Despite the fact that paper questionnaires have now been replaced by digital ones, the feedback process itself has changed little. However, it is time to revise it because student testimonials are an important source of information.

Artificial intelligence offers several interesting possibilities for optimizing this process:

• Chatbots can collect information using a conversational interface that simulates a real interview. This process does not require much effort from the student.
• Conversations can be adapted to the character of the student and modified depending on his answers.
• Chatbots can filter out rude comments and personal insults that sometimes appear in feedback forms.

6. Smart campuses

The smart campus responds to any student requests that are - related to study and life on the campus: how to find a lecture hall, register for a chosen course, get assignments, find a free parking space or contact a professor.

7. Control of the examination process

Distance learning is the flagship of modern education. And  distance exams  are a mandatory component. However, when administering such an exam, a serious problem arises: how to avoid cheating.

Controlling systems based on artificial intelligence can determine whether a person passes the test on their own and eliminate deception.

Comment by ACCEL

Artificial Intelligence is the backbone of modern online education.

We see three main reasons why it needs to be intensively introduced into the educational process:

1. AI helps to make the learning process more efficient and convenient for the student and teacher. Large Russian online schools are already creating and using AI-based programs. At SkyEng English language school, artificial intelligence is a full-fledged participant in the educational process, which provides adaptive and personalized learning and real-time verification of assignments. AI analyzes each lesson, student progress and teacher's work and changes the trajectory of learning, depending on the results.
2. AI increases engagement through gamification . Most of the online games and training simulators work on artificial intelligence. The service for learning foreign languages ​​Lingualeo is organized in such a way that all learning takes place in a playful way, you travel with a lion in the jungle and learn the language.
3. AI allows you to automate your business as much as possible . Today, some educational resources do without human participation: chat bots answer questions, robots conduct lessons. And this trend is growing every year thanks to the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
