Nikki Explains: The role of AI – valuable support in the classroom
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning experiences. From personalized instruction to efficient administrative tasks, AI offers numerous benefits that make it a valuable support system in education. Join us to learn more about safe and responsible AI support in education – from our AI expert Nikki!
Critics of AI in the classroom may argue that AI depersonalizes education, replaces human teachers, and lacks emotional intelligence. However, in this article Nikki will address these concerns and explain how AI can enhance the learning – and teaching experience.
Real-time assistance/Chatbots
– AI-powered educational platforms can offer real-time assistance to both students and teachers. Chatbots and virtual tutors equipped with natural language processing capabilities can answer students’ questions, provide explanations, and offer additional resources round the clock. This instant accessibility to support fosters independent learning and empowers students to take control of their educational journey, says Nikki.
“Bye bye piles of administrative tasks!”
– In addition to supporting students, AI can also streamline administrative tasks for educators, allowing them to devote more time and energy to teaching. Automated grading systems can quickly evaluate assessments and provide feedback, saving teachers valuable time that can be redirected towards instructional planning and student interaction. Moreover, AI algorithms can assist in curriculum development by identifying gaps in learning and recommending relevant content to address them, Nikki explains.
Personalized and inclusive learning with help of AI
– Another compelling aspect of AI in education is its ability to facilitate inclusive learning environments. Through adaptive technologies, AI can accommodate diverse learning styles, preferences, and abilities, ensuring that all students have access to educational resources that cater to their individual needs. This inclusivity not only promotes academic success but also fosters a sense of belonging and acceptance within the classroom community, says Nikki.
Will AI replace teachers?
– Critics of AI in education often express concerns about the potential for technology to replace human teachers. However, it is essential to recognize that AI is not intended to replace educators but rather to augment their capabilities. By automating routine tasks and providing valuable insights, AI empowers teachers to focus on what they do best – inspiring, motivating, and guiding students on their educational journey, Nikki explains.
But… is AI safe to use in the classroom?
– At Skolon we believe AI is a powerful new force that offers new ways to simplify tasks, reduce time spent on routine work and free up time for the most important activity in the classroom, namely, learning. We believe that security is one of the most important aspects and that responsibly developed AI features are needed in schools. That’s why we’re launching four new features that will provide safe and simple AI support for teachers and students, Nikki concludes.
This is Skolon – we gather the best digital educational tools and make them work in the classroom.
Skolon is an independent platform for digital educational tools and learning resources, created for both teachers and students. With Skolon, accessing and using your digital educational tools is easy – security increases, administration decreases, and there’s more time for learning.
