Now imagine another situation where you enhance your efficiency by automating complex tasks and using your precious time more effectively to educate your students. You might wonder for a second if it’s possible. If you have AI on your side, anything in the world is possible.

Still, many people are unaware of artificial intelligence’s great potential in the education industry. They don’t know what magic AI can bring to edtech platforms. From streamlining complex tasks to predictive analytics, enhancing student engagement, and conducting in-depth data analysis, AI has become a one-stop solution for edtech.

Today, this blog will let you explore the role of artificial intelligence in edTech innovations. 

How AI is Transforming the Education Industry

How AI is Transforming the Education Industry

AI has undoubtedly been booming in every corner of numerous industries, and edTech is one such industry. Years ago, the edTech industry used to function generically without delivering a personalized and interactive user experience. This caused students to lose interest in virtual learning, and that was the sole reason why virtual learning platforms were not encouraged.

Thanks to AI, which became a magician and revolutionized the way the edtech industry was functioning. From driving personalized learning experiences to high engagement rates, AI has firmly grasped every part of the edtech industry. As per a recent study, 70% of students prefer gamified learning platforms compared to conventional ones. So, you can imagine what kind of benefits AI is bringing to the edtech industry.

Here are some of the amazing ways through which AI is transforming the edTech industry. 

High-End Personalization

Conventional education systems used to function on the concept of “one-size-fits-all,” where courses were designed and launched irrespective of individual students’ needs and preferences. For example, medical courses were offered to engineering students. 

Such generalized courses presented numerous challenges for students to get the courses that were solely meant for them, which ultimately made students lose interest in the specific learning platforms.

However, when AI entered the edTech picture, everything changed. One of the profound changes that AI brought was personalization. Learners could easily get the courses that were meant solely for them. The personalized course recommendations made it easy for the learners to get the desired courses without any need to waste their precious time searching.

Moreover, the AI-based feedback system becomes an important means of analyzing the individual student’s performance in various assessments and providing personalized feedback based on that performance. This helps students improve their mistakes and perform better next time.

In-Depth Performance Tracking and Strategic Planning

When it comes to learning, tracking the performance of individual students is very important. Conventional edTechs failed to analyze student performance, so students did not get an idea of how effectively they were grasping the knowledge. Besides this, many education platforms did not allow students to track their learning progress, ultimately resulting in low learning efficiency.

By vanishing all such challenges, edTech AI systems boosted learning efficiency through performance and progress tracking. AI leverages the user data and performs in-depth analyses to track the performance and progress of individual students.

Such tracking helps educators know which students are performing well and who need to improve. Moreover, progress and performance tracking benefit learners by giving them an idea about areas where they need to improve. Also, a progress-tracking system helps students accomplish their desired goals, thus boosting their learning efficiency.

Easy Accessibility to All

Speech recognition andLanguage translation

All learners are different from each other, and they speak diverse languages. Moreover, some learners might have certain disabilities, like visual perceptual disabilities. Conventional education systems have yet to have any specific features and functionalities that are concerned with these challenges. That’s why such challenges became a barrier for some people to use any educational platform.[/caption]

However, AI edTech removed all such barriers by leveraging functionalities like speech recognition and language translation. Speech recognition tools have become a great edtech innovation with AI as they allow disabled people to do voice-based searches for their desired courses. Due to this, all people, including people with disabilities, can easily access learning materials. 

Besides this, online learners do not belong to a specific country. They are across the globe, speaking diverse languages. The language was the biggest barrier to the edtech industry, as it did not allow people from diverse countries to access the application. However, AI also had a solution for this challenge in the form of language translation.

Learners could search for their courses in their preferred language, and AI would translate them into the desired language, thus allowing learners to learn seamlessly. Moreover, language translation tools also help educators design courses in diverse languages, ensuring that learners across the globe can access their courses profoundly.

A Personalized AI Educator

Imagine yourself having a personalized virtual guide to whom you can ask your queries anytime round the clock. How effective that would be? You need not wait for the next day to clarify your doubts, which will eventually enhance your learning productivity and efficiency. You might wonder if it is possible in reality. If you have AI on your side, then it is definitely possible.

AI provides Intelligent Tutoring Systems(ITS), which provide a virtual educator to the learners. In conventional education platforms, human tutors were available to educate students. But are the human tutors available 24/7? Of course not. Due to this, learners faced a lot of difficulty resolving their doubts. This is where AI brought the revolution.

The ITS, in the form of a virtual assistant, is always there to fill the void of human tutors and effectively resolve students’ doubts. Moreover, the 24/7 availability of ITS assures students that their educator is always having their back no matter what.

Above all, the virtual assistant can attend to multiple students at once, which increases the overall productivity and efficiency of education platforms.

Making Learning Fun and Interactive

Making Learning Fun and Interactive

A few years back, who would have thought that learning could also be fun and interactive? Even the online learning platforms were unable to provide an interactive environment to the students, eventually resulting in students feeling detached from the specific education platforms. It is AI whose innovative solutions make virtual learning fun and interactive.

Gamification elements like quizzes, rewards, and badges make the learning atmosphere light and interesting. Such gamification elements also refresh the students, prevent them from getting distracted, and encourage them to continue learning.

Moreover, the gamification elements also become an effective way for educators to analyze their students’ growth. They can see which students are doing well and which students are facing challenges in learning.

Besides gamification, AI makes edTech more fun and interactive through AR/VR. There are numerous topics in education in which students need to create virtual visualizations. This is where AR/VR technology becomes useful as it helps educators make 3D visualizations of numerous elements possible.

Automating Administrative Processes

Do educators have the teaching tasks only? Definitely not. There’s a lot more. From filling up the attendance to maintaining student data to grading the performance of students to onboarding new students, educators have a lot more to do than simply teaching. All these administrative tasks might seem to be simple. However, the reality is something else.

Such administrative tasks are time-consuming and effort-consuming. Sometimes, due to such cumbersome tasks, educators cannot find time for teaching, thus wasting both their and students’ time.

However, if you leverage AI in edTech, such tedious and time-consuming processes can be conducted quickly. By leveraging AI automation tools, educators can streamline administrative processes much more effectively, thus enhancing their overall productivity and efficiency. 

Moreover, such automation also helps educators spend their time in strategic planning to achieve their teaching goals.
