The document discusses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in African classrooms, highlighting both its benefits and drawbacks. AI tools like tutoring apps and social media platforms can enhance personalized learning experiences, but the technology cannot completely replace human teachers due to the importance of social skills and human interaction. While AI may come with challenges like high costs and reliance on internet connectivity, it is poised to significantly improve educational outcomes in the future.
Impact of Artificial Intelligence in Classrooms
- 1. Impact of Artificial Intelligence in African Classrooms Mac-Jordan Degadjor - Founder & Managing Partner Africa New Media (ANM) Digital.
- 2. What is Artificial Intelligence and why African Classrooms?
- 3. The question as to the possibility of using AI in the classroom has been put to rest by the introduction of a series of AI tools in schools.
- 4. While the optimists support the idea that the technology will bring about growth and vital improvements to humanity in generally, the pessimists defer.
- 5. Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom Today
- 7. Using AI Students Grading
- 8. Trial & Error Elimination in Tutoring
- 10. Examples of Artificial Intelligence Applications in the Classroom Today
- 11. Milka: Milka, an app from Carnegie Learning, higher education students can get tutoring and real-time feedback in their course of study. It also offers student needing personalized or one-on-one attention an opportunity to do so.
- 12. Brainly: A social media site for where students collaborate while answering and asking classroom questions. It creates that classroom like a community for a personalized teaching experience.
- 13. Thinkster Math: Thinkster Math represents a math tutoring app combining perfectly real math curriculum and one-on-one teaching style. The app takes students on a step-by-step process of solving math problems. The app helps develop math skills by providing video help to aid students’ learning while giving prompt responses.
- 14. Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Education
- 15. Technology will play a vital role in the development of education in the nearest future. With the continual research and improvement of machine learning and intelligence, educational systems will experience a tremendous improvement.
- 16. Students will be able to learn new things in a much better way with advanced tutor apps. When fully developed, such apps can become education mentors for students and provide engaging learning aid and opportunities.
- 17. As AI grows, having a global classroom becomes easy and possible. Although some schools run online programs/courses, they never offer an engaging and personalized learning approach; The advancement would fill that gap as tomorrow dawns.
- 18. Drawbacks of AI in Education
- 19. It does not teach social skills and human connections; hence it cannot replace human teachers.
- 20. The tech requires internet connectivity which always comes with a cost and could be a problem in sub-Saharan African countries with no/slow connectivity.
- 21. Artificial Intelligence comes with a huge cost implication; however, as the technology spreads the price would be forced down
- 22. Intelligent machines could suffer error peculiar to computer systems, e.g. crashing, upgrade issues, virus attacks, etc.
- 23. Wrapping up Based on the many benefits of artificial intelligence in the classroom, the technology will not be able to substitute teachers, since the latter provides human connection and enhance social skills development in students. However, AI will make teachers’ jobs easier and more efficient. It will help students and parents alike to become better!
Editor's Notes
- #3: Artificial intelligence is sometimes called machine intelligence, and it refers to the utilization of computer capacities as against natural intelligence. It involves designing computers that mimic human intelligence in speech recognition, learning, reasoning, planning, etc.
- #5: They hold the view that AI could spiral out of control and become a disaster as portrayed in science fiction movies like I, Robot (starring Will Smith) and others.
- #7: Tutoring: With AI, students can have their tutors with them 100% of the time, which is not possible with regular ones. Learners can get extra teaching time and those who require more time to understand a topic can achieve it. For instance, some students require more teaching time than others, with the tech at hand the possibility stares them in the face.
- #8: Using AI Students Grading: Grading process has been around for a long time in the form of computer tests and others. With AI, teachers can quit grading to spend more time on students.
- #9: Trial and Error Elimination in tutoring: Trial and error method of teaching may lead to frustration and time wasting. With intelligent computers in place, time-consuming problems can be solved instantly without following the line of trial and error.
- #10: Virtual Reality Learning: Virtual reality or VR makes learning fun, as students learn about things, places, objects and so on from the comfort of their classrooms without spending money or time traveling. VR videos take you places to see things initially taught theoretically
- #19: Here, we explore a few hitches that could affect the full development of machine intelligence in education:
