Artificial Intelligence (AI) is certainly one of the most important and impactful technologies of this millennium.
Artificial Intelligence, in fact, is revolutionizing not only every field of activity, but also our way of thinking, working and learning.
The world of e-learning, always focused on the latest technological trends, will be progressively supported and integrated by Artificial Intelligence.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI): A SHORT DEFINITION
In a very simple way, we could define artificial intelligence as the ability of a technological system to solve problems or perform tasks and activities as a human being would do. Referring to the IT sector, we could identify AI – Artificial Intelligence – as the discipline that deals with realizing machines (hardware and software) able to “act” autonomously (solve problems, perform actions, etc.)
E-LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
As anticipated in one of our previous articles, “The new e-learning trends in 2019“, the world of Distance Learning (DL) is more and more interested in investing in new technologies aimed at improving and making interactive the learning experience.
Artificial Intelligence can greatly improve students’ learning experience on the one hand, and facilitate the management of the e-learning platforms for the administrators on the other.
To implement AI in the e-learning software, a combination of algorithms based on machine learning, deep learning and natural language processing is required.
Let’s see in detail how Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize e-learning.
REAL TIME QUESTIONS
The e-learning platforms integrated with Artificial Intelligence will be able to process questions asked by the learners in real time, offering clarifications and advice.
EFFICIENT TRAINING
Thanks to the Artificial Intelligence systems, the learners will be guided towards the discovery of new training materials. By doing so, research costs will be reduced and the learning process accelerated, which will be reflected in an improvement in terms of efficiency.
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING
In addition, Artificial Intelligence will be able to analyse the learners’ behaviour to determine their interests and will search on other online platforms any customized training material suitable for them.
