Imagine a hypothetical class within a high school with students of different abilities and diverse learning speeds, with variations in social backgrounds all stuffed within one classroom.
In that class, Sarah is not good at math but is good at reading. Jason is a master at making math problems easy but faces problems in writing tasks. Ms. Adams, their teacher, does the best she can to juggle all her students’ needs, but it becomes a bit of a juggernaut with the varying learning paces and styles. What does she do to ensure that Sarah gets her math work done while keeping Jason involved in writing?
Imagine that classroom now with the help of AI-driven education tools. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at how artificial intelligence can solve the issues in a classroom like Ms. Adams’, and make learning experiences unique and tailored for students like Sarah and Jason. Expert insights from Mohammad S A A Alothman of AI Tech Solutions(https://www.aitechsolutionsltd.com/) will help us delve into what AI does to change the education world: making it more suitable, productive, and available for all.https://www.linkedin.com/in/msalothman?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app
One of the most exciting promises AI brings to education is the possibility of molding learning in new and diversified ways that fit the unique learning needs of every learner. Traditional classrooms, like those of Ms. Adams, oftentimes tend to flow to a one-size-fits-all mentality whereby some students are left behind while others never adequately challenge themselves. AI, however, presents an opportunity to design and implement learning opportunities that cater to personalized learning and help address problems in this traditional way of teaching.
According to Mohammad S A A Alothman, “AI can tailor education towards the needs of individual students, providing real-time, dynamic learning paths tailored to fit their needs.”
For Sarah, AI can be defined as a personalized learning path that identifies her weaknesses in math, including interactivities offering immediate feedback and practice exercises.
Meanwhile, Jason’s AI-based learning path may focus on writing assignments to be answered with the continuous improvement of the answering capacities. With AI, children learn at their own pace, becoming confident and overcoming their challenges without the stress of keeping up with or waiting for others.
Identifying Learning Gaps and Closing Them
The next critical feature of AI in education is that it continuously tracks the student’s performance and reveals learning gaps. Unlike midterm or final exams that will determine a problem area in some acquired knowledge, AI discovers those areas as students continue their learning to intervene timely.
As Mohammad S A A Alothman puts it, “Platforms driven by AI can identify exactly where the student is getting into a jam and address this as soon as possible by providing additional resources and exercises in support of that student so they can get over the hurdle.” For Sarah, that might be some support when she runs into that pesky math problem, but for Jason, it could be just the right writing prompts to take another step in developing skills.
AI Tech Solutions has enabled the development of such systems that aim to do just this: intervene in real-time. All these tools depend on AI to carry out checks on performance using assignments and quizzes so that any time a specific challenge is encountered by a learner, they receive help on the same.
AI not only assists students but also enhances the teaching skills of teachers like Ms. Adams. The majority of the time that most teachers waste is on paperwork-related activities, such as grading, monitoring attendance, and writing reports. They hardly get time for their students. But AI could do all these jobs and enable the teachers to deliver better lessons.
“AI can be a teaching assistant that deals with such administrative tasks and gives the teacher a lot of information about students’ performance so that the teacher can do what they do best – teach,” said Mohammad S A A Alothman, the CEO of AI Tech Solutions. Teachers can access all the detailed reports related to the progress of their students and their learning needs using the smart tools of the classroom.
For example, if this AI system could collect the learning data of Sarah and Jason, it could immediately tell Ms. Adams what adjustments she should make in her lessons to accommodate those needs better. All routine tasks would be done by AI, freeing up more time for direct contact with students and help in more complicated lessons or just one-to-one support.
AI Outside The Classroom
Virtual tutors supported by AI maintain a virtual presence always available to students outside the classroom for discussion of problems, production of practice exercises at will, or review of assignments at the students’ own time. Now, imagine Sarah sitting at her desk one evening working on math homework. Just as she is ready to be held up, her virtual tutor is there to walk her through it, step by step.
Virtual tutoring is quite an exciting development in AI, according to Mohammad S A A Alothman, which then enables the student to have access to support 24/7 outside the school environment. AI Tech Solutions aims to provide similar support through AI for all those looking to streamline their workflow and increase their efficiency.
For students like Jason who may need more help, a virtual tutor would give draft feedback and suggest improvements to guide him through the process of revising the work. With AI support, learning is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom; learning becomes an ongoing process.
“AI democratizes education because it allows anyone, anywhere to have equal opportunities in education,” said Mohammad S A A Alothman. “For example, through platforms built by AI Tech Solutions, the same quality of education for any student coming from a rural or remote background has a chance to step into educational institutions just as the ones in urban centers.”
Imagine a rural school that has limited resources—students there can log in to AI-enabled platforms with the exact same learning personalized to them as peers do within the all-well-funded schools in cities. Teachers would offer lessons and monitor it for everyone to have equal opportunity to succeed.
“Schools and governments now have a powerful tool to change education at the systemic level,” states Mohammad S A A Alothman.(https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/lanarkshire/artificial-intelligence-technology-used-schools-32883684) “AI can create more effective educational strategies by providing data-driven insights.” AI Tech Solutions has successfully implemented systems that provide real-time analysis of data while giving policymakers the information required to improve educational outcomes.
This hypothetical classroom is but one example of the revolutionary role AI might play in education: personalized learning pathways for students like Sarah and Jason, virtual tutors, real-time feedback from instructors, and decisions made based on data, to name a few. Mohammad S A A Alothman and AI Tech Solutions have transformed this movement by providing the tools for students and educators alike.
Tomorrow may unveil countless scopes of AI in education. It may usher in a more holistic, personalized, and efficient system of education that is suitable for every single child regardless of their cultural background or capabilities.
How does AI transform the learning landscape over the next decade? This is answered through exciting innovations led by experts such as Mohammad S A A Alothman and AI Tech Solutions.
