e-Learning on the rise
Education is something that has become part of the society. It is has come a long way since its inception. Teaching methods, writing material and classroom activities have evolved. Today we are in a technology driven era and almost everything we do involves technology. The most common method of teaching used nowadays is called E-Learning.
So, what is E-Learning? E-Learning (Electronic Learning) is the process of learning or gaining knowledge via digital resources using any electronic devices like tablets, PCs or Laptops and smart phones that are connected to a network. E-Learning is gaining popularity every day and many different mobile apps and websites are being built to provide E-Learning. Dynamind is one such example of the many websites that provide E-Learning.
E-Learning websites and applications provide up to thousands of courses and study material to the user. The user has to go through a basic registration process after which a course can be picked. The way some of these websites work is that a course is picked, a deadline to complete the course is put forward and on successful completion of the course, the user earns a certificate. Some websites even allow the transfer of credit.
Let’s look at how AI is integrated into E-Learning.
-E-Books and video are available to the student for learning. Online tutors are available. The use of such features makes it much easier to learn. If a student comes across doubt, that section of the video or the book can be highlighted, and the student can interact with other students by posting the question or the timestamp of video on a forum page or even online assistants can deal with students doubts.
-The AI system can remind students to catch up with the study material before the deadline making sure that students are regular and do not lag behind producing an outcome from the student as efficient as possible.
-The website can provide hints if students are stuck at a particular problem and provide links for further reading for better understanding of a topic. If a student finishes a difficult problem, motivational statements left by the AI system can help the student.
-A difficulty rating system can be maintained. After the completion of lectures, students can rate the lecture based on the difficulty level thereby informing other students.
-AI can provide a more personalized tutoring session for the student. It can identify patterns of weakness in a particular area and suggest a different approach towards studying that portion.
-AI can provide feedback to teachers or tutors so that teachers can personally engage with the student and look deeper into the student’s issues.
-If a student is doing a Multiple-Choice Quiz and an incorrect option is chosen, then the student can restart the quiz and based on trial and error, select the correct option. AI can change the set of options every time the quiz is reset.
E-Learning is the future of education and AI is and always will play a major role in enhancing it.
