AI-ENABLED E-LEARNING - PRESENTATION BY NEKTAR BAZIOTIS

 

 

Life starts with you!

 

All that exists would be meaningless for you without yourself.

What you decide now determines the possibilities of the future.

But what is your life’s blueprint?

The blueprint is the pattern and model we use to forge the foundation of our own lives and the living conditions of future generations.

 

Education is freedom.

Our parents and their parents fought for us to have the privilege of education.

Our life is of ultimate significance – our worlds create worlds –

We started with traditional education, and we elevated that.

We defied all limitations. The Internet gives us the opportunity for everyone to come closer and be heard.

But above all, whoever wishes to access knowledge and learning programs now can!

 

Teachers have a voice. They have an opinion beyond the standard material of their practice.

They can dialogue with students, and they have a decisive say in their development.

 

With e-learning, we maximized the technological benefits. We have learning paths, videos, PowerPoints, forums, and we can apply them to students.

But we forgot that the core of education is the student. This is our only commitment.

Finally, the moment came where we progressed in technology far enough, and the dream of artificial intelligence started having a life.

 

AI uses reasoning and patterns to make logical conclusions. Then, in a fraction of the time, it would otherwise take, we get results using Machine Learning or Big Data analysis.

We started profiling students, teachers, and learning material to understand the real needs of all of them!

We take a thousand possibilities and bring ten recommended results to both students and teachers based on their needs.

We motivate students to focus on where they do not excel and allow them to access objective information.

 

Of course, there is a lot of concern about ethical AI and fear that AI will eliminate jobs. But weren’t those the exact words humanity used in front of evolution?

AI comes as an opportunity in education. It’s only logical!
