4 Ways AI is Disrupting Education

Teachers and the education industry as a whole seem to look at artificial intelligence with the same wary eye. In fact, the ways in which artificial intelligence can, and already is, disrupting education has the potential to remove menial, tiresome tasks from a teacher’s plate, and allow them to return to the creative tasks that brought them into the field in the first place.

These are just a few of the ways that AI is making a difference in the educational sphere.

1. Tutoring based on specific needs and patterns

Artificial intelligence programs can use patterns, strategies, and algorithms to identify where the student’s understanding is breaking down and identify strategies and learning methods that work best for them.

2. Grading and record keeping

Simple homework can be easily assessed and recorded, and basic record keeping can be managed to help teachers get back into the classroom.

3. Moderating group projects

Well moderated group projects can be hugely beneficial to students, adding collaboration and shared work ethic to their learning experience while increasing the level of project or presentation that can be compiled.

4. Determine quality of online lessons

Not all online programs, however, are created equal. Assessing the quality of online education, or even a single online course within a college program, is incredibly difficult without being a student in the program.
