The traditional one-size-fits-all model of education is increasingly proving inadequate in preparing students for the diverse and rapidly changing demands of the modern world.
High costs and low returns from tertiary education further exacerbate the issue. This article calls for an education revolution by integrating AI and generative AI technologies into the system. By addressing learning gaps, personalising education, and improving accessibility among other benefits, AI promises a dynamic, adaptable, and personalised learning process that is more aligned with the needs of students and the workforce.
However, this requires efforts from all stakeholders, including educational institutions, who urgently need to embrace AI and collaborate with AI solution providers like Teraflow.
On A Crash-Course to Educational Legacide
In his enlightening piece, “Educational Legacide and the Rise of AI,” Richard Mulholland – a maverick author, entrepreneur, and global keynote speaker with a wicked wit to boot – takes a swing at the dusty dinosaur that is higher education. He accuses it of suffering from ‘legacide‘, a term he coined when he realised just how much traditional thinking was throwing a wet blanket on the flame of innovation.
He delivers a sucker punch to the bloated costs of education and the often dishearteningly low return on investment, as evidenced by stats revealing many graduates working in jobs unrelated to their degrees or in roles that don’t even call for one.
Traditional universities, Mulholland argues, the supposed gatekeepers of professional legitimacy, desperately need to quit living in the past.
It’s time they shake off their old-school ways and embrace the lightning-fast developments in modern technology like AI. AI, he fervently believes, can not only personalise and speed up the learning process but also offer continuous real-time assessments and measure workforce readiness with surgical precision.
As someone who is actively engaged in helping organisations adopt AI, I’m nodding along with Mulholland like a dashboard bobblehead. To highlight the problems plaguing our education system, I thought it only appropriate to roll out some tangible metrics.
Melding AI and generative AI into the education system is like unleashing a superhero team, ready to grapple with the nefarious villains currently troubling our education system.
Here’s a little sneak peek at their superpowers:
Personalised Learning Paths:
Picture this – education tailored to each unique student, a sort of academic haute couture, if you will. This approach caters to diverse learning styles, revs up engagement, and pumps up outcomes. Students aren’t just receptacles for a standard curriculum; they become active explorers on a customised learning adventure.
Automated Grading:
A gift to all teachers out there! Imagine having more time for instructing rather than drowning in administrative tasks. Sounds like an educational utopia, right?
Identifying Learning Gaps:
Picture AI as the Sherlock Holmes of education, detecting learning gaps early for faster intervention. This means reducing the risk of students falling behind and ensuring the academic equivalent of a marathon win.
Virtual Tutors:
With these AI-powered buddies, students can get 24/7 educational support. They can learn at their own pace, whenever they want, which basically means making every minute count. Think about this in the greater context of continued education or access to students who may not have previously attended.
Predictive Analytics:
AI’s crystal ball can identify students at risk of underperforming or dropping out, enabling early support measures. And we all know a stitch in time saves nine!
Adaptive Testing:
Talk about a fair fight! Students are evaluated more accurately, leading to an assessment that truly reflects their skills and knowledge.
Real-Time Translation:
Abracadabra, language barriers are gone! This creates a more inclusive and accessible learning environment for all.
Career Counselling:
AI is not just about cold calculations. It also has a knack for career counselling, guiding students to make informed decisions about their future careers.
Improving Accessibility:
AI is the superhero everyone deserves. Its power ensures that all students, including those with disabilities, can fully engage in the learning process.
Immersion Learning:
AI can add the razzle-dazzle to education, making it more engaging and relevant to real-world scenarios. Think VR historical sites and virtual lab experiments – way cooler than old-school textbooks, right?
