📈 AI Trends

AI’s Role in Personalizing Educational Technology

Mental health awareness in education heralds tailored learning experiences, prioritizing student engagement and joy. AI rises to the challenge.

By 2030, global education spending should hit $10 trillion, with AI driving personalized learning and the booming Edtech sector.

By 2025, augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) and AI will be integral to education, enhancing both adult training and formal education settings.

AI-powered study tools and teacher assistant apps are leading educational technology, while investment roughly aligns with tool popularity.

Fostering student-centric learning landscapes remains key and AI helps provide personalized and accessible education for everybody.

We think this is a great use of the technology!

👨‍🏫 Learn with Us

Learn Faster with ChatGPT

A new subject, programming language, or framework for managing projects. Learning new things can feel overwhelming in the beginning.

But today, we have new tools that can help you get started. You can learn faster with ChatGPT using this prompt. 👇️

I am a student, studying [subject]. You will respond like a [type of teacher]. When I ask you a question, you will clearly explain, step by step, how you came up with the answer. After every 3 questions, ask me if there is anything from what we've discussed so far that I want to readdress.
[Optional: Use web search to support your answers.]

Here’s a short demo highlighting the effectiveness of such a prompt.

AI systems like ChatGPT are not knowledge bases. Asking for web search can help make responses more fact-based and up-to-date.

Maybe you’re not just learning, but also teaching. Keep reading to see how an education business has leveraged AI in one of their platforms. 👇️
