How can Edubot AI assistant facilitate adaptive learning and differentiation?
The special feature of the EDUBOT solution is the use of the AI assistant to facilitate adaptive learning and differentiated blended learning.
But let's see how AI can help teachers and students?
FOR TEACHERS:
- Teachers can rely on the AI Assistant to lead the students in the learning contents through personalized learning paths adapting to each student’s knowledge level and challenges. Teachers can instruct the AI on the general difficulty level they want to give to a learning router in a group, and let the Assistant shape the personalized path for each student. The Assistant will take into consideration the teacher’s instruction, the student’s knowledge level and the student’s actual performance when refining the personalized paths after each completed (or failed) task.
- Teachers can supervise the learning process and combine the digital learning with personal tutoring sessions. However, personal tutoring sessions are more effective if they are organized in smaller groups. The AI Assistant can help creating performance clusters from the students of one or several groups, the clusters will be formed by students facing similar challenges, so the personal tutoring sessions with these clusters can be more
FOR STUDENTS:
- AI Assistant is available 24/7
While the students generally can only ask for help from the teacher during a specific period of the day, typically in the class, AI is available to students 24/7. If the student gets stuck in a certain task, the AI assistant will help, offering knowledge elements, helping questions and explanations that might support problem solving. - AI-Powered Adaptive Learning Routes
The AI Assistant will lead the student through the learning material on a personalized learning path, adapting to the student’s knowledge level and current performance in each task. The goal of the Assistant is to keep each student in a “flow channel”, where the student does not meet boring or too easy task, but does not get frustrated by tasks exceeding her actual knowledge level. - Increased motivation
The AI Assistant is also playing a motivational role by keeping the students in the “flow channel”. This work is facilitated by EDUBOT’s framework game. The game, set up in an enchanted castle, rewards fast-advancing students by offering gold coins they can use to play simple games, but also rewards hard-working students (even if they do not advance that fast in the material) by awarding them different gifts. The gifts are created by the teachers, so they can be linked to real-life rewards (for example: 5 EDUBOT stars are worth a highest grade in the class).
