According to foreign media (VentureBeat), our education has hardly changed compared with a few centuries ago, and it still follows the "speaking sage" and the instillation of education. As AI has brought changes to the consumer electronics, e-commerce, media, transportation and medical industries, will education be the next industry to accept AI transformation?
Since education is the foundation for people's progress in all other areas, the application of AI in education will have the most profound significance.
Main trend
Education can be divided into three phases: K-12 (meaning from the primary school "Kindergarden" to the basic education stage of the 12th grade), higher education and corporate training. In the K-12 market, we see newer, more rigorous academic standards (“common coreâ€, “new generation science standardsâ€) that focus on students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, making them enter the 21st century universities and careers. ready. In higher education, we see a shift towards online learning through MOOC (large-scale online courses) and SPOC (small private online courses), while online learning also helps solve the growing problem of student debt. In corporate learning, we see a shift to virtual training that helps HR departments increase employee productivity while cutting costs.
There are three main players in the education industry: content, platforms and evaluators, all of which will change. Content publishers are addressing the challenges of digital digital transformation and are also providing content for open educational resources. The learning platform is trying to differentiate in adaptability, personalization, and analytics. As education assessments move from multiple-choice testing to more innovative problem-based testing, assessments will continue to play a key role in education reform.
How AI can help
As far as technology adoption is concerned, education is still in the development stage. However, this is also an advantage of the education industry. It doesn't have to go through the assembly of traditional infrastructure like other industries, but it can be achieved by directly adopting mobile smartphone technology.
The main trends and the performance of industry participants suggest that the education industry will usher in disruptive innovation. As budgets decrease and classroom size increases, we must take advantage of advances in technology to increase the productivity and efficiency of the education system. And AI can play an important role in improving the quality and affordability of education. We will see some applications of AI in education in 2017, such as:
- Ability to correct AI for student text assignments
- Robots answering student questions
- Counseling student's virtual personal assistant
- Provide immersive hands-on learning of virtual reality and computer vision
- Simulation and gamification of rich learning analysis
Take the grading assessment as an example, it is at the core of education. As the saying goes, there is no progress without evaluation. Cognitive psychology suggests that the best way to assess learning is to ask “open questions†(thesis is) and allow students to interpret in their own language. However, this evaluation method is rarely used for reasons of time and cost. People still use multiple choices as the main assessment method.
Conversational Education Technology (EdTech)
An assessment of a student's open response involves natural language processing. The text in the student's answer has a syntactic and semantic structure similar to that of language and product evaluation on social networks.
Similarly, the AI ​​can be trained to make a reliable analysis and assessment of the student's responses. Not only is it as accurate as manual evaluation, but it is also orders of magnitude lower. The American Educational Testing Service (ETS) has successfully introduced AI into the SAT and GRE papers to play the role of the reviewer.
Just as Professor Ashok Goel of the Georgia Institute of Technology successfully used AI assistants to answer student questions, robots for educational institutions also played an important role in expanding online learning. The AI ​​issues a question, the student answers in natural language, then the AI ​​evaluates the answer and gives immediate coaching feedback. This is called “formative assessment†in the field of education, and its purpose is to improve students' conceptual understanding of the subject.
AI will benefit all stakeholders in the education ecosystem. Students can learn better through timely feedback and guidance. Teachers will receive rich learning analysis and insights to achieve personalized teaching. Parents can see children's clearer career prospects at a lower cost, and schools can provide more high quality. Education, the government will be able to provide affordable education for all.
As schools and universities develop online strategies that seek to reduce costs and improve output, the use of AI in education will continue to rise. In the recent K-12 Horizon report released by NMC / CoSN, AI and VR are considered to be two major technology trends that will change education in the next four to five years. According to market research firm Technavio, the education AI market will continue to grow exponentially, with a compound annual growth rate of 39% over the next four years.
As AI becomes the focus in 2017, conversational education will become a key application and will have greater impact than conversational commerce.
