AI is becoming a shaping force in education. Recent forecasts certainly suggest so. According to global market insights, the AI market will grow to $30 billion by 2030<\/a>. <\/p>\n These numbers look increasingly plausible as more institutions continue to rely on AI and technology to streamline the learning process. Tutors are using AI to automate routine administrative tasks like grading and planning curriculums, while students rely on generative systems like ChatGPT for research.<\/p>\n Despite the moral conflict surrounding AI applications, there\u2019s no denying it could robustly improve the learning process. Below are just a few benefits: <\/p>\n Regarding ethics, AI and machine learning developers should assume responsibility when building their applications (e.g., restricting certain words and topics in ChatGPT). <\/p>\n But institutions will have a part to play as well. They should adopt systems to curb unethical use rather than avoid participating altogether. <\/p>\n Let\u2019s discuss the most practical and innovative applications of AI in learning that schools should adopt.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Already, multiple AI applications can read and grade assessments based on a predetermined grading scale. <\/p>\n These programs use technologies like natural language processing, speech analysis, and semantic analysis to process written prose. <\/p>\n Some, like Project Essay Grade<\/strong>, assess essays based on multiple measurement factors, e.g., diction, fluency, construction, etc., and can get results nearly identical to a human assessment. <\/p>\n Another example, AI Grader by Copyleaks<\/strong>, claims to be able to quickly score thousands of standardized tests “at the state, national, and university-wide level” without error or bias. The software also promises an optical feature that can grade physical tests. <\/p>\n Most AI grading software collects data from human-graded papers and then uses this data to imitate human grading on subsequent assessments. <\/p>\n Other typical features include immediate automatic student feedback, multi-language grading, and peer review interactions. Some can even detect off-topic responses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some AI tools can automate a handful of manual administrative tasks in schools, colleges, and universities. Such tasks include: <\/p>\n One such tool is Ivy Quantum<\/strong>. Like many tools in this category, it acts as a conversational chatbot that guides students and curious individuals through enrollments, application processes, scholarships, and more. <\/p>\n The tool is typically Integrated with a university\u2019s website and can be applied across multiple departments. It deploys chatbots that can be specialized based on each department\u2019s knowledge base. It can also automate mail, phone calls, or SMS. <\/p>\n Tools like this will help administrators organize and communicate en masse. They can help more students, reduce manual errors, and save time. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Studying just got easier and more productive for everyone. <\/p>\n With AI tools that can create tailor-made schedules, provide personalized prompts, and operate based on adaptive feedback, students can grasp concepts at their speed and build a solid foundation of learning. <\/p>\n If there are topics a particular student finds difficult, such tools can provide targeted practice videos or engaging learning prompts to help them understand. The system then adjusts as they pass each difficulty stage. <\/p>\nBenefits of AI in education<\/h2>\n
