It means that online courses adapt to each student’s needs. Some learning platforms powered by AI can go faster or slower, depending on students’ learning pace. And they can repeat lessons that they feel the user hasn’t grasped yet. AI is also used for chatbots that are present in many online learning platforms. They serve as guides for the course and can answer common questions.
With the education industry introducing new technologies, it will be generating a lot more data. Data scientists will be able to analyze this data to make the industry more efficient. For example, they can analyze learning methods to know which ones are most effective.
Interactivity
Another thing that tech is changing is interactivity. The newer generations have grown up with technology all around, and they expect that kind of stimulus to feel engaged. Being hours in a classroom just listening to someone talk may not be the best method for everyone. And new technologies like virtual and augmented reality stand a chance of solving this issue.
Virtual and augmented reality headsets can change the classroom as we know it today. Imagine being able to learn about World War II while seeing a virtual representation of maps, places, and people. It will completely change the way students learn. And it is already being implemented in higher education. In some medical schools, students are training with augmented reality operation tables.
Another thing that will increase interactivity is the Internet of Things. It will help to create smart buildings and classrooms. Students will be able to interact with the places where they learn too. They can get specific information and lessons depending on their location.
Automation
All these technologies and a couple more will make the learning experience and the whole industry more automated. Things like face recognition to verify attendance and software that will mark exams and projects will become the norm. Machines will also decide changes in learning methods. They will be able to analyze the data and find learning practices that are more optimized.
