The role of AI and blended learning in shaping the future of education

The Hindu  

As we stand at the dawn of a new era in education, it is time to reevaluate the effectiveness of the current smart classroom technology. With students and educators becoming more comfortable with online learning platforms, the concept of blended learning, which combines traditional classroom experiences with online learning, is becoming more relevant than ever. Blended learning offers several advantages over traditional classroom learning, including flexibility, increased student engagement, and personalised learning. Most existing smart classrooms are ill-equipped to support blended learning or harness the full potential of AI technologies. AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, while impressive in their ability to understand and generate human-like text, are not specifically designed for educational purposes and fall short when it comes to offering tailored learning experiences.
