Have you ever imagined a future where all your instructors are just a robot? Although it sounds a far fetched and sci-fi idea but theoretically speaking we are not much far from this future. AI-assisted learning is a process of designed a learning system which employs heavy usage of AI technologies. AI- detects the patterns and makes intelligent decisions for the learner based on this background, learning experience and interest. We are rigorously reviewing 10+ companies which are using AI as a backbone for their edtech, this includes Knewton, Volley, Nuance, Carnegie learning, Blipper and Thinkster Math. Following are some defining parameters of such system.
- How a system can produce text, questions, and associated answers from an information network, comprising facts, concepts, and procedures.
- How the system manages to improve over certain iterations.
- Technologically, will it include smart sensors and wearable devices for self-directed learning. Is there any voice assisted or multi sensory learning experience in the system?
- How it presents findings from the use of learning analytics and machine learning algorithms.
- From a list of algorithms how it chooses classifiers, such as logistic regression, ensemble tree, and neural network, which may be diverse among agents.
In upcoming series we will address following questions
How eLearning companies are using AI and machine learning to design courses?
How AI is useful in mining and organization digital knowledge?
What happens in AI assisted instruction design?
Which tools and products are using heavy AI to design online learning?
