Artificial Intelligence in Schools: Personailzed Learning AI Platform for Publishers
With CBSE introducing artificial intelligence as an elective paper, students and teachers must be very excited to know how AI can help the students’ performance grow. It has been decided that the subject would be introduced in classes 8, 9 and 10 as a skill subject.
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is the ability of a machine to think, learn and perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition and decision-making skills. Capabilities demonstrated by machines, including computers, from playing chess to operating cars and beyond, fall within the domain of artificial intelligence.
The rapid spread of education among the masses in the industrial era made the ‘one-size-fits-all’ method of learning the most convenient one for training subsequent generations of the workforce due to lack of resources. This method of education did not cater to the interests of most students, and learning became less engaging and meaningful for them. Additionally, learning was very superficial, with learners having only a basic understanding of concepts and this led to poor retention.
Adaptive tests
Personalized learning has now come within the reach of everyone through adaptive learning technology. Powered by artificial intelligence, it analyses a vast pool of data to tailor the content as per an individual’s interest and knowledge level. This is initiated with the help of adaptive tests, which accurately quantifies the knowledge of different topics of individual learners. These tests include a large pool of questions usually drawn from data collected over the years, whose difficulty level is determined on the basis of the number of students who have answered the questions correctly. Learners are first posed with a mid-level question and based on their response, the difficulty level of the next question and the subsequent ones are modified— if they answer a question of mid-level difficulty correctly, then they will be presented with a question with a higher level of difficulty, but if answered incorrectly, the system will pose a simpler question.
Implementing personalized learning was practically impossible before adaptive learning technology came into the scene. The two major factors affecting this were lack of qualified teachers and financial resources.
Thus, AI-powered adaptive learning has brought personalised learning within the reach of all 21st-century learners, solving the three-fold problem of quality, cost and access that continues to plague education, especially in developing countries such as India.
funtoot team has always been thriving in such cutting-edge technologies considering the need of the hour, based on the above theory, they introduce PLAiTO – Personalized Learning AI Platform for Publishers.
PLAiTO is a powerful AI built by extensive research in Learning Sciences, Artificial Intelligence and Educational Data Mining. It is powered by learning experiences and system interactions generated by more than hundred thousand students having spent time for more than 5.5 million hours. PLAiTO optimizes learning outcomes and contributes to learning science research owing to its several hundreds of experimental conditions.
