The Future of Education: How AI Tutors and Storytelling Platforms Can Transform the Learning Process

#

A lot of people might be skeptical about the idea of working with an AI tutor at first. What could be advantageous about working with a machine? What if you have a question that the machine doesn’t understand? Where is the human element?

These are all understandable questions, and indeed ones that you should be asking. But the answer would probably surprise you: AI tutors can actually be far more detailed, innovative, and “understanding” than human ones. There are several distinct reasons for this, which we will list below.

Personalization

This might sound ironic. You would probably think that a computer program would be far less personalized than a human tutor would be. But the fact is that human teachers - although many of them do try their best - tend to use standardized textbooks and lack understanding of the particular needs that individual students have.

AI tutors, on the other hand, have been exploding with improved capacity in recent years. Their programming has become so sophisticated that they are capable of not only personalizing lessons and assignments but working with students to feel out their strengths and weaknesses and adjust their teaching accordingly:

• AI tutors can analyze commands to minute degrees, particularly if they are grounded in context. If you are interested in storytelling, for example, a program like Talefy can produce amazingly intricate and compelling stories for you.
• AI tutors can help you plan and reach your learning goals. Tell the program in detail where you need to get, by what time, and what your particular strengths and weaknesses are, and it will help you establish a personalized program for yourself. What’s more, it will make subtle adjustments along the way as you need.
• AI programs can provide explanations for incorrect answers by analyzing subtle aspects of a learner’s performance. Your clicks, hesitations, and other subtle aspects of your performance are all indications of how you are learning.

Real-time Data Updates

Another advantage of working with AI tutors is that they can adjust their offerings in real time. You might think that working with a human tutor would be preferable because they understand you and can react right away, but the reality is quite the opposite of this.

With real-time updates, AI programs can instantaneously detect even the most minute changes in a learner’s progress and react accordingly:

• It can recognize patterns because of all the stored data that it has to measure patterns against, both of the individual in question and the patterns of thousands of other users.
• It is capable of conducting sophisticated engagement analytics, which can monitor subtle things like attention, effort, and even the way that learners respond emotionally to exercises.
• It can provide predictive insights into where a learner is heading given their current pace, and give suggestions about what to do to speed things up.

Lessons Any Time, Day or Night

With an AI tutor, you can get online and practice any time of day or night. With physical teachers, you have to wait for your twice-weekly or whatever scheduled classes you might have. You have to wait to get feedback on your homework, and any further back-and-forth that you might need also has to wait until the teacher is ready.

But your AI tutor can be with you day or night. If you want to write a story and suddenly have a stroke of brilliance in the middle of the night, imagine how cool it would be to go to your computer and suddenly have it bring your idea to life for you (famous authors have long said that the best ideas come to them at the most unlikely moments).

Gamification of Learning

Learning can feel like a major chore for many people, and try as they may, many teachers fail to make their lessons sufficiently engaging for students that they actually look forward to them. But with the potential for gamification that AI can produce, the learning process can be anything you want it to be.

Want to find a fun way to teach math to a group of reluctant students? Create an interactive quiz that uses their favorite storybook elements to teach figures. Have students compete against each other in a gamified lesson plan. There are any number of things you can do.

Accessibility

Another major challenge that has always come with traditional learning methods is accessibility for those with learning challenges. Students with disabilities have typically either been forced into special schools or left out of the learning process entirely.

But AI programs address all of these challenges. They can provide audio lessons for the vision-impaired, captions for the deaf, and even voice commands and speech recognition for those with mobility challenges.

The Possibilities Are Endless

Learning with AI opens up an entire world of possibilities for learners. Whether their interest be in storytelling or language learning or math or anything else, AI is your trusted companion in learning. It will help you reach your personal goals with accuracy and attention to detail; provide rich, thorough feedback on every aspect of your learning journey; and help you shape ideas for creative content like you never imagined possible.
