Introduction
Do you feel that schools treat everyone the same, even though everyone learns differently? Same. Now, though, what do you know? Awesome tech and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are here to shake things up.
With AI, you could have a personal study buddy that figures out how YOU learn best, or take virtual tours of historical landmarks that feel like you’re actually there! This is the kind of future AI can bring to education. Plus, it can even give teachers some seriously helpful tools. This translates to less grading and more one-on-one time.
At TechnoLynx, we’re all about using AI and the latest technology. We can help build stuff like personalised learning coaches, mind-blowing VR experiences, and platforms that adjust to your learning style, no matter how fast (or slow) you roll.
Get ready, because school’s about to get a major upgrade! The market for generative artificial intelligence in education is predicted to grow from USD 299.8 million in 2023 to USD 7,701.9 million in 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.5% between 2024 and 2033 (MarketResearchBiz, 2024).
AI Applications in Education
Learning Personalised with NLP and Generative AI
Say goodbye to cookie-cutter education! NLP and Generative AI team up to personalise the learning experience for every student.
NLP acts like your digital learning analyst. By sifting through your essays, test responses, and even online discussions (with permission, of course!), NLP can identify your unique learning style.
Does detailed analysis make you a grammar whiz? Or do you thrive on visual representations? NLP uncovers your strengths, weaknesses, and preferred ways of understanding information.
This data becomes the magic ingredient for Generative AI, your personalised learning concierge. Generative AI takes the insights from NLP and crafts a learning path designed specifically for you.
Stuck on a mathematical concept? Generative AI conjures up custom practice problems that target your exact weak spots. Craving a different perspective on history? It curates content that matches your learning style, be it text, interactive simulations, or captivating videos.
Not only that, AI can help in learning a lot more. The following infographic by Holon IQ shows that there are various sub-areas within Education where AI can have a great impact, language learning, and testing and assessment being the most prominent ones:

Immersive Learning with AR/VR/XR & Computer Vision
The Global VR market is predicted to grow from USD 25.85B in 2024 to USD 67.02B in 2029, with a CAGR of 21% (Mordor Intelligence, 2024), as shown in the graph below:
AR/VR/XR propels you headfirst into immersive learning experiences that make abstract concepts leap off the page. With these technologies, even an elementary school student can slip on a VR headset and explore the bustling streets of ancient Rome.
Students can interact with 3D models of the Colosseum, hear historical tidbits through audio narration, and even witness a virtual chariot race! This is the magic of AR/VR/XR - transforming learning into an interactive adventure.
That’s not all. Computer Vision tracks your movement and gaze within the VR environment. It can see where you’re focusing, how long you’re engaged with a particular object, and even gauge your overall interest.
This data becomes a treasure trove for the learning platform, allowing it to adapt to the experience on the fly. Stuck on a specific landmark? Computer Vision might trigger a pop-up with additional information. Losing focus? It could adjust the difficulty or pace of the learning experience.
Adaptive Learning Platforms with GPU Acceleration & IoT Edge Computing
Ever taken an online maths quiz that gets smarter with every question you answer? That’s the power of GPU acceleration in action! GPUs, the graphics processing powerhouses you might find in gaming PCs, can also be harnessed for AI tasks.
Within an adaptive learning platform, GPUs act like supercharged engines, accelerating the real-time analysis of student data. This allows the platform to understand your strengths and weaknesses as you progress through the quiz.
The platform, powered by GPUs, can instantly adjust the difficulty level of subsequent questions, providing you with targeted practice exactly when you need it. This is personalised learning at its finest, ensuring you’re constantly challenged without feeling overwhelmed.
But what about schools with limited resources? Here’s where the magic of IoT edge computing comes in. Imagine a rural school with limited bandwidth. Edge computing allows processing power to be distributed to devices at the network’s “edge,” like tablets or computers in the classroom.
This means essential AI functionalities can run locally, even without a constant internet connection. So, students in resource-constrained environments can still benefit from personalised learning experiences tailored to their individual needs. Think of it as bringing the power of AI directly to the classroom, ensuring no student gets left behind.
The Role of Teachers in the AI-powered Classroom
While AI brings exciting new tools to education, fear not, teachers! AI isn’t here to take your jobs but rather to become your powerful partner in the classroom.
It’s like shedding the burden of tedious tasks like grading essays or multiple-choice quizzes. AI can handle those efficiently, freeing up your valuable time for what matters most: personalised instruction and student interaction.
This allows you to focus on tailoring your teaching approach to individual needs, fostering in-depth discussions, and providing targeted support to students who might be struggling.
Think of AI as your data-driven partner. By analysing student performance, AI can provide real-time insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles.
Armed with this knowledge, you can tailor your lessons, identify areas where students might need extra help, and create a more engaging learning environment for everyone.
In essence, AI empowers you to become a more effective educator, ensuring each student thrives on their unique learning journey.
Challenges And Ethical Considerations
The potential of AI in education is undeniable, but it’s important to acknowledge the road ahead isn’t without its bumps.
Data privacy concerns are paramount. Student data must be handled securely and ethically and used solely for educational purposes.
Teacher training is also crucial. Equipping educators with the skills to integrate AI effectively ensures a smooth transition and maximises its benefits.
Here at TechnoLynx, we understand these challenges. We prioritise responsible AI development practices, ensuring transparency and ethical data usage throughout the design process.
