If you’ve watched enough sci-fi flicks, you might come across scenes where robot teachers are conducting class to a group of human students. Well, the future is now, with the advent of AI chatbots finding use in various ways – from providing customer service, assisting healthcare professionals, to providing supporting teaching and learning for educators and students.
So what are the advantages of having AI chatbots integrated into our education system?
Advantages for Educators
AI-powered chatbots can provide time-saving assistance by helping educators with routine tasks, including scheduling, grading, and providing information to students, allowing them to allocate more time for instructional planning and student engagement.
Educators can also leverage AI chatbots to assist in teaching by tailoring personalised learning to the needs, preferences and interests of each student, offering targeted learning materials and activities.
Advantages for Students
AI chatbots can provide detailed feedback on student assignments, highlighting areas of improvement and offering suggestions for further learning, and can also tailor instruction to individual needs.
Students can also tap on chatbots to develop certain skills, such as writing, problem-solving, and critical thinking in personal and group discussion settings.
So how do these benefits come into play in real life? We look at some existing cases of how AI is making an impact in the education field.
Singapore’s AI-Driven Approach to Personalised Learning
Singapore’s Ministry of Education is leveraging AI to revolutionise student learning, starting with Mathematics for three topics at the Primary 5 level. Introduced in 2023, the ‘Adaptive Learning System’, which taps on AI to analyse each student’s learning pace and style to provide personalised learning experiences for students. This means each student will receive their own customised exercises and explanations to optimise learning outcomes.
Teachers also stand to benefit – between teaching classes and assisting in co-curricular activities, they certainly have their work cut out for them. Thus, AI-Driven Teacher Assistants such as the Language Feedback Assistant can go a long way in saving teachers’ time and resources by providing instant feedback on students’ English writing, helping them improve grammar and spelling.
The Short Answer Feedback Assistant also helps teachers automatically grade and provide feedback on short-answer questions, saving time and allowing teachers to focus on deeper learning discussions.
Duolingo’s Immersive Language-learning Features
Duolingo, one of the world’s most popular language learning platforms, introduced Duolingo Max in 2023. Powered by OpenAI, Duolingo Max provides users with conversation practice and in-depth explanations on answers.
Features include ‘Explain My Answer’, which offers context-specific explanations that helps you understand your mistakes you might have made in the language exercises. This feature is accessed via an AI chatbot format, where you can converse with Duo, the iconic and very persistent owl mascot of Duolingo.
There’s also ‘Roleplay’, where you can simulate a conversation with Duolingo’s characters via the AI chatbot. Conversations will be presented in settings like a cafe or an airport, and feedback will be given after the session, along with a sprinkle of encouragement, of course.
Gamifying your Learning with Minecraft
Minecraft is nothing more than a video game that kids spend too much time playing… right?
With Minecraft: Education Edition, educators now have a good reason to embrace it by merging immersive game worlds with real-world subjects. Educators can tap on its AI-powered ‘Lesson Crafter’, where they can generate differentiated lessons for any topic and age group with ease, while ensuring lessons meet curriculum standards.
Another feature, ‘AI for Earth’, will allow learners to harness the power of AI in exciting real-world scenarios, including preservation of wildlife and ecosystems, helping people in remote areas, and research on climate change.
Delivering Utility in Education and Beyond
The integration of AI chatbots into the education system offers numerous advantages for both educators and students. By automating routine tasks, providing personalised learning experiences, and offering instant feedback, AI can significantly enhance the learning process. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in AI-powered education, shaping the future of learning for generations to come.
