Digitalisation has brought about revolutionary changes in various aspects of our daily lives. Learning and education are no exception. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies, leading to the widespread acceptance of Education technology (EdTech) worldwide.
Seekho’s Co-founder, Divya Jain shares her opinion on how educators can use ChatGPT to monitor student progress, create customised learning paths, and provide targeted tutoring. This AI technology opens up exciting possibilities for the future of learning, where students can engage in interactive, tailored education that caters to their individual needs, fosters growth and success.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are the disruptive technologies disrupting education technology. ChatGPT, an AI computer program, is designed to analyze and generate responses that resemble natural human language, and it was first launched in 2022. The innovative language model, alongside other AI advancements, presents significant opportunities for content generation, answering student queries, grading assignments, and shaping the future of learning.
ChatGPT has Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities with many educational applications that could make learning more accessible and effective. Students can engage in conversational interactions, receive instant feedback and support, while teachers can deliver personalized learning experiences.
Educators should be cautious while implementing ChatGPT to ensure effective learning outcomes and overcome potential inequities and distractions in the classroom. Despite the potential benefits, educators must also consider the limitations of ChatGPT before fully integrating it into the education system.
ChatGPT is emerging as an integral tool for students and teachers. It complements traditional classroom discussions by providing fast and concise answers. It has the power to significantly enhance student engagement and by analyzing students’ data, tailored learning experiences can be created based on individual progress.
AI technologies such as ChatGPT have the potential to revolutionize the future of education by promoting interactive learning beyond traditional textbooks. Instant feedback and the potential for gamification, virtual reality, and augmented reality open up new possibilities to support students’ educational journeys.
ChatGPT’s implementation in the education system is facing challenges such as difficulties in complex mathematical calculations, the reliance on potentially inaccurate or obsolete data, risks of plagiarism and inadequate originality, and the development of an over-reliance on AI models.
Adopting ChatGPT as a pedagogical tool to enhance human creativity requires thorough scrutiny of the platform. The education sector must be careful in assessing the implications of integrating this technology, while maintaining fair competition and producing high-quality content that adds value to users.
