With the rapid and constant evolution of AI, it is time to really start thinking about where it is heading and how it can benefit higher education in particular. I believe it can offer a myriad of benefits that can enhance the teaching and learning. There are plenty of aspects that could improve, but here are a few that come to mind right away:
AI will be able to identify students who are at risk of falling behind in some areas of learning and in turn create a personalized study path for each student without having to customize the curriculum on an individual basis. By understanding what areas students are weak (or strong) at, it can direct them to areas that need more work than others. Outside of a professor’s classroom, AI can additionally create a productive 1-on-1 tutoring environment to further student’s chances at success.
Students won’t be the only people to benefit from AI integration. The automation of administrative duties is one of AI's most practical applications. Routine tasks such as grading assignments, managing enrollments, and organizing schedules can be handled efficiently by AI systems, freeing up valuable time for educators and staff. Educators will be able to utilize AI to understand a student’s perspective of a class; gauging the content of the course and identifying difficulty and cohesion.
The most common reason people attend college is to acquire and deepen knowledge in various fields of study, and in turn start their professional career. The job market can be analyzed by using AI to understand market trends, allowing students to make informed decisions about what areas of study they would like to focus in.
As someone who had changed majors a couple times during my years at school, I wish I had the tools at hand that are available today. These possibilities to improve higher education make me ecstatic to be working on something as great as our AI GENIE Tutor Bot. The Tutor Bot is an innovative Gen AI solution that enhances university course engagement through dynamic learning features such as interactive content overlay, multi-modal student engagement tools like information search, self-assessment, and conversational question interface. I often hear about how different and difficult higher education is now than it was just a few years ago, making me proud to work on a solution to ease the growing pains surrounding the combination of learning and technology.
