Welcome to the Koanly Blog! Do you think that a inclusive education should it be a priority in the current times? The answer is yes, and that's because all students have different abilities and needs. Education has to be adapted to the needs of each student to ensure that everyone can have access to quality education and we are in luck! Now that whole adaptation process is much easier thanks to the artificial intelligence.

Keep reading and discover how artificial intelligence can improve inclusivity in the classroom and offer a higher degree of personalization in education.

The use of Artificial Intelligence facilitates inclusion

In the area of AI and Training, Why does AI improve education? This is because machine learning algorithms are able to help teachers adapt knowledge to both abilities and needs of each of the students. Thus, such customization can include the adaptation of the content, the pace and the level of difficulty.

AI, therefore, has the capacity to improve education in several key aspects:

  • From the personalization Until the accessibility and efficiency.

On the other hand, and not least, AI can also improve accessibility for students with functional diversity or special needs and achieving the perfect fusion between AI and Personalized Learning. Some examples:

For students with hearing problems

  • Real-time subtitling: AI can be used to automatically generate captions in real time during classes or conferences.
  • Audio and video transcription: AI can convert audios and videos into text, allowing students with hearing problems to access content that is presented in auditory format.
  • Sign language interpretation Using cameras and image processing algorithms, artificial intelligence can recognize and understand sign language.

For students with vision problems:

  • Reading and describing visual content: AI can use optical character recognition (OCR) technologies to read and convert printed or graphic content in books, brochures, or whiteboards into text.
  • Assisted navigation systems: Using sensors and data processing algorithms, AI can help students with visual disabilities to safely navigate the educational environment.
  • Relief printing: AI can be used to convert images or graphics into relief designs that can be printed on tactile materials, such as embossed paper or 3D prints.

In short, this technology can improve efficiency in the classroom and allow teachers to spend more time teaching. Artificial intelligence systems can automate many administrative and organizational tasks, thus allowing teachers to focus on teaching and interacting with students. The IAG can be a powerful tool for inclusivity in education, as long as it is used effectively.

AI encourages collaboration and peer-to-peer learning

In addition to facilitating inclusion, another thing to highlight about AI in education is its great capacity to promote:

  • The collaboration
  • Social learning

In this way, teachers can use artificial intelligence to organize group activities as well as games that promote teamwork and social learning.

But not only that, but also AI it is very useful for distance education and online teaching. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of remote studies increased by a large proportion. AI can help teachers provide a more effective and personalized learning experience for students who cannot attend classes in person.

The importance of educators

Although artificial intelligence provides advantages in several fields, it cannot replace human interaction, since students also need the interaction and support of teachers and classmates.

Specifically, these intelligent systems can help to conceive a more human notion of the educational fact, because they have the possibility of improving the relationship between teachers and their students.

However, it is very important that teachers prepare to use AI effectively in the classroom. In Koanly we can help you understand the capabilities and limitations of technology and apply it to improve learning and inclusivity. In turn, teachers must also be aware of data protection regulations and laws to ensure that student privacy and security requirements are met.

In Koanly we can help you by putting provision of the teaching team an author's tool to create content and learning resources quickly and easily. Use the material in your LMS, in the classroom, or let your students use a chat to learn. Do you dare to try our tool?
