- Traditional education systems can only provide one size fits all approach that is not conducive to a holistic learning experience. A personalised education can provide a more nuanced approach. - Big Data and AI applications can help produce meaningful insights to understand learning trajectories of students and create customised study material specific to each student's needs. - Individual specific focus can help eliminate learning difficulties of marginalised learners and enhance teaching and learning productivity. - Some preliminary studies have shown how AI companions are better than even human companions to enhance learning experience in languages. - AI currently is largely used to create personalised learning experiences, where large amounts of data is used to predict the best learning experiences for students and give them the appropriate content. - Some AI tools have also been shown to reduce anxiety among learners by creating a positive feedback loop. - The key difference with AI driven systems and other systems is that an AI driven system provides a feedback mechanism that takes in data and conducts analysis. - The literature on AI in education however has noted that current systems are not connected to the mainstream education system around the globe and also that there is not enough systematic reviews in AI literature taking an education specific perspective. - Based on the market data in 2022, the author looks at India, China and US as the global leaders in EdTech and understands how technologies are used in education and the impact they have in these three countries. - The author notes how India and China are spending more money on EdTech, but their emphasis remains narrow and is mostly focused on test preparation and tutoring. - In China they are looking at AI for a wide range of things. In India, they are mostly viewing for tutoring and working as a supplement to the existing traditional setup. - AI can help make learning more "student-centered". Students have different types of learning approaches and AI can cater to them. - Unlike being hyper-focused only on the scores as learning outcome, AI-powered systems have been found to be capable of including even the smallest individual-specific factors such as the level of concentration in class, participation in learning activities, and even some non-cognitive skills such as communication or in-class behavior - Learning Paths - Basically what AI enabled machines do is to choose the next item from a set of possible things a student can do to learn. This is called as a learning path and AI can work on finding the most efficient learning path. - AI can also be used for diagnostic and predictive solutions instead of just remedial solutions and augmenting educational content. - In an AI era it's important to realise that even in developing countries instructors are not the only information providers. The role of a teacher becomes more to motivate students and build relationships with students. - A personalised learning system is a self-motivated set up and that remains one of the key challenges for a particular system. This is where the role as instructors to take on more of a motivational role becomes crucial. - The other challenge with AI is how affordable it is for the low income and marginalised communities. These systems are expensive and demand significant investment which might perpetuate and exacerbate existing differences. - One more issue is that of data privacy and security. There are already instances of companies stealing data and misusing them. Stronger data protection laws are of importance. - Therefore, with the current discussion about the positive sides of EdTech, the question of learning inequality does not vanish, rather it becomes more pronounced than before. This discussion demands more attention to ensure disruption-free, reliable and effective application of AI in EdTech. --- Bhutoria, Aditi.
