Is Artificial Intelligence the Future of eLearning?

People have long feared that artificial intelligence may render some of our traditional employment opportunities useless. Teachers may be faced with the extinction of some of their own responsibilities with the continued development of artificial intelligence. Some experts are predicting that machine learning and artificial intelligence could be the wave of the future. This is only strengthened by the continued rise in popularity and efficiency of eLearning.

Is it possible that artificial intelligence could be the future of eLearning experiences? Here are a few reasons why it seems likely in the coming years.

Artificial intelligence can personalize education.

It’s impossible for teachers to create a unique learning plan and experience for each student in the classroom. Particularly when student-teacher ratios continue to rise, a one-size-fits-all approach is the only option teachers really have at their disposal. Artificial intelligence creates a new learning experience that can provide a much more specific learning plan based on the data it receives.

Based on a student’s performance on past assessments and games within an app, the computer can generate a customized approach to their education. You can set academic goals and then measure your achievements tangibly. Whether you happen to be a slow learner or a fast learner, artificial intelligence can adapt to your academic needs.

It promotes lifelong education.

It isn’t uncommon to see adults honing their academic prowess with mind games and learning apps these days. Artificial intelligence and its personalized approach make learning feel more relevant than ever before. Games and fun activities included in learning apps even make it feel enjoyable to spend a few minutes or hours involved in learning new skills.

The major benefit to artificial intelligence is its ability to help students expand their knowledge outside of the classroom. It helps them to develop pride in their academics, a much-needed quality for many students. A love for learning that reaches beyond the brick and mortar building of the local school system leads to a lifelong education.

There is a cost saving with artificial intelligence.

It’s a sad reality that many of the teachers in today’s education system are vastly underpaid for the jobs they perform. Still, artificial intelligence has the capability of performing the same amount of work for less overall cost. It can more effectively profile students and learners, generate unique content, and work all hours of the night without needing overtime or vacation pay.

While nothing can completely imitate the feeling of a physical human being to explain concepts and encourage students, artificial intelligence certainly makes a worthy attempt. For school systems that are over budget and considering slashing extracurricular programs, artificial intelligence could be a great way to keep fine arts programs intact by cutting costs elsewhere.

Artificial intelligence has the capability to offer an extraordinary education at a lower cost that will often extend beyond the mandatory years of formal schooling. Some may be loath to see technology replace real people in the classroom setting, but others will enjoy the efficiency that comes from a customized learning experience.
