How AI is Making Education More Personalized and Accessible

Article on Edu

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we learn and teach. It is playing a significant role in enhancing the quality of education and making it more accessible to people. The application of AI tools in education is opening up new horizons of learning, personalization, and accessibility. AI-powered tools are revolutionizing education by providing a personalized and accessible learning experience. In the past, education was often a one-size-fits-all approach, with students expected to learn at the same pace and in the same way. However, with the integration of AI, education is becoming more personalized, adapting to individual learning styles and abilities. This has resulted in improved learning outcomes and greater student engagement. AI-powered platforms can analyse a student’s learning style and create a customized learning path accordingly. The system can analyse a student’s performance, their strengths and weaknesses, and provide feedback that helps them improve. This personalized approach can help students learn at their own pace and fill any gaps in their knowledge. In this article, we will discuss how AI tools can help in enhancing education. Personalized Learning: One of the significant benefits of AI in education is that it enables personalized learning. AI-powered platforms can analyse a student’s learning style and create a customized learning path accordingly. The system can analyse student’s performance, their strengths and weaknesses, and provide feedback that helps them improve. This personalized approach can help students learn at their own pace and fill any gaps in their knowledge. Enhanced Learning Experience: AI tools can create an immersive learning experience by providing interactive content, simulations, and virtual reality. These tools can help students visualize complex concepts and engage in active learning. It also enables them to learn from real-world scenarios, which can be more engaging and memorable than traditional teaching methods. Intelligent Tutoring Systems: AI-powered intelligent tutoring systems can provide students with one-on-one guidance and support. These systems can identify areas where a student is struggling and provide targeted feedback and assistance. This approach can help students overcome their learning challenges and stay motivated. Automated Grading: Grading can be time-consuming for teachers, especially for assignments that require subjective judgment. AI-powered grading tools can automate the process and provide fast and accurate grading. It can also analyse patterns in student’s responses and provide feedback that can help students improve. Adaptive Testing: AI-powered adaptive testing can help teachers assess a student’s knowledge and skills more accurately. These tests can adjust to the student’s level of knowledge and provide questions that match their skill level. This approach can help teachers identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses more accurately and provide targeted feedback. Intelligent Content Creation: AI tools can help teachers create high-quality educational content faster and more efficiently. These tools can analyse existing content, identify knowledge gaps, and create content to fill those gaps. It can also help teachers create content that matches a student’s learning style, making it more engaging and effective. Accessibility: AI-powered tools can make education more accessible to people with disabilities. For example, text-to-speech software can help visually impaired students access written content, and voice recognition software can help students with mobility issues interact with digital platforms. Conclusion: AI-powered tools are transforming education by providing personalized learning, enhancing the learning experience, and making it more accessible. These tools can also help teachers provide targeted feedback, automate grading, and create high-quality content. The integration of AI in education is creating new opportunities for students, teachers, and educational institutions. It is time to embrace these tools and unlock the full potential of education.

PhD no longer mandatory for Assistant Professor Posts in Universities, says UGC chairman

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has given candidates seeking to become assistant professors a significant relief. The prerequisite of having a PhD at the time of recruitment has been removed. For the benefit of students and faculty, UGC has made a number of modifications to education and the recruiting process in recent years. The statement was made by UGC Chairman Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar. According to the UGC chairman, clearing the National Eligibility Test (NET) is sufficient to become an assistant professor. At the opening ceremony for the UGC-HRDC building that was just built at Osmania University, Jagadesh made the announcement. The UGC shared the announcement via the official Twitter handle. The UGC chairman had already notified the PBNS that two Australian universities will be opening campuses in India. It is a step in the nation’s higher education system’s internationalisation process. Two Australian universities have announced plans to establish campuses at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), he said, adding that Deakin University, a prestigious Australian institution, is the first foreign university to receive approval from the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) to establish an International Branch Campus (IBC) in GIFT-IFSC. It’s important to note that the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to make it possible for the best universities in the world to operate in the nation. The UGC released a draft regulation in January addressing ‘Setting up and Operation of Campuses of Foreign Higher Educational Institutions (FHEIs) in India.’ The draft discussed building a legislative framework to grant interested international universities exceptional exemptions from regulatory, governance, and content criteria on par with other autonomous institutions of India. Since the draft regulations were released two months ago, there has already been an increase in activity related to international universities in India.

Deloitte nearly doubles workforce in three years in India

As it invests in people and productive capacity in the nation, Deloitte in India has hired close to 50,000 professionals over the previous three years, nearly doubling the workforce, the audit firm said on Friday. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP stated in a statement that it concentrated on developing skills to deliver technology-driven growth. The completion of a pilot project to help solve the problem of stubble burning in North India was also announced. According to the statement, Deloitte has hired around 50,000 professionals in India during the past three years. “The organisation plans to continue to invest in people and productive capacities in India, with a focus on innovative approaches to support education, digital skills development, and training opportunities.” At the US-India CEO Conference, which was held here on Friday, Punit Renjen, retired Deloitte Global CEO Emeritus, emphasised the potential of India and the significance of skilling and nature-based solutions. “I believe, this is India’s century, and the country has a unique opportunity to lead the world in addressing some of the critical issues that we face. India’s future innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders will need new skills to help them meet these challenges,” he said. In India, Deloitte is still offering educational opportunities. In partnership with The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Deloitte AI Academy develops and reskills workforces to bridge the technology talent gap. Deloitte’s StepUp programme educates third-year engineering college students on industry-specific skills and cutting-edge technologies. Deloitte intends to keep engaging with the larger community over the coming years with an emphasis on STEM, innovation, leadership, and digital. 50 million people in India are addressed by Deloitte’s WorldClass, a global initiative to train 100 million people for careers and opportunities by 2030. Almost 125 nonprofit organisations from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Orissa, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan have received support from WorldClass since its start in 2017. A successful pilot project by Deloitte India in Haryana in 2022 led to a 69% reduction in farm fire or stubble burning incidents. The announcement stated that it was anticipated that this trial effort will save nearly 2,000 lives over time. In the state of Haryana, where eight districts account for a total of nearly 90% of the state’s fires, Deloitte India aims to expand the effort. Together with this, Deloitte India has said it will execute pilot projects in the neighbouring states of Punjab (SAS Nagar district) and Uttar Pradesh (Ghaziabad district). Fatehabad, Sirsa, Jind, Kaithal, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamuna Nagar, and Karnal would be among the eight districts in Haryana.

AI powered Robots and monitoring systems to save lives on India’s beaches

Hollywood has produced a number of films with cyborgs and robots that are trained to wage war, destroy, and kill. On Indian beaches, though, we might soon see robots with cutting-edge Intelligence that are intended to save lives. Goa is the first state in India to add a self-driving robot driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and a monitoring system to its world-class beaches to improve lifesaving skills. The monitoring system and the self-driving robot in Goa both have personalities in that they have names; the former is called Triton and the latter Aurus. The Goa government decided to use AI-powered systems after there were more beach-related accidents as a result of an increase in domestic and foreign visitors to the area. According to a recent study, Goa experiences 200 drowning deaths annually that are related to swimming. The popular beaches like Baga, Calangute, Arambol, Sinquerim, and Morjim are where the majority of fatalities are reported. The introduction of the AI systems is being driven by Drishti Marine, a state-appointed lifeguard organisation. On Goa’s extensive coastline, Aurus, the AI-powered self-driving robot, supports lifeguards by monitoring the no-swimming zones and alerting visitors during high tide. The main duty of the Triton monitoring system is to employ AI to keep an eye on the non-swimming zones, warn visitors of risk, and alert the closest lifeguard to the presence of visitors in a hazardous area. Presently, Triton is deployed at Baina, Velaso, Benaulim, Galgibag in South Goa, and Morjim in North Goa, while Aurus is stationed at Miramar Beach in North Goa. According to official sources, the Government of Goa intends to deploy 100 Triton and 10 Aurus units on the state’s beaches by the end of this year. It’s not the first time that robots have been used to save lives on Indian beaches. To protect swimmers’ lives, a robotic Lifebuoy was deployed on the beaches of Visakhapatnam in 2022. Hari Venkata Kumari, Mayor of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation, claims that the robotic Lifebuoy can travel up to 600 metres underwater and move six metres per second. It has the capacity to save three lives at once. Robots are frequently used to clean beaches around the world, but using AI-powered systems to save lives is a more recent development.

ArdorComm Media “New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023” #ELSAChennai #ELSATamilNadu

As we approach the year 2030, the world is changing at an unprecedented pace. From advancements in technology to the rise of globalization, these changes have transformed the way we work, communicate, and learn. In this context, the idea of Vision 2030 is gaining traction as a way to prepare for the future and chart a course for growth and development. One of the most important aspects of Vision 2030 is expanding the boundaries of education, skill, and employability. Education is the cornerstone of progress and development. It provides individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the modern world. However, the traditional approach to education has not kept up with the pace of change. The focus on rote learning and standardized testing has left many students ill-prepared for the challenges of the future. In order to expand the boundaries of education, skill and employability we need to rethink the way we teach and learn. It is the need of the hour to propel discussions among the education leaders, industry experts and the government to form a roadmap with the Vision 2030 to expand the boundaries of education, skill, and employability. ArdorComm Media Group, one of India’s fastest-growing media companies, is here to explore the possibilities for educational innovation, future trends, and the state of the education sector in order to prompt significant discussions & deliberations among key stakeholders in education, technology, and government. As the nature of work changes, so too do the skills required to succeed. We need to create training programs that teach the skills that are in high demand, such as data analysis, coding, and digital marketing. These programs need to be accessible to all, regardless of their background or economic status. In addition, we need to rethink the way we measure employability. The traditional approach of using degrees and certifications as the sole criteria for hiring is outdated. Instead, we need to focus on skills and experience. Expanding the boundaries of education, skill, and employability is not a simple task. It requires a concerted effort and brainstorming from governments, educators and the industry. How can we create alternative pathways to employment, such as apprenticeships, internships, and skills-based assessments, that focus on skills and experience rather than degrees and certifications? What role do policymakers, educators, and industry play in expanding the boundaries of education, skill, and employability, and how can they collaborate to create effective strategies and solutions? How can we ensure that expanding the boundaries of education, skill, and employability is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their background or economic status? To address these issues and discuss the desideratum in the School & Higher education sector, ArdorComm Media Group, is coming up with: New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu on 28th April 2023.

Centre asks States to raise community awareness amidst rising H3N2 cases

The union government has advised states and union territories (UTs) to increase community awareness on adherence to respiratory and hand hygiene in light of the growing A Influenza type H3N2 cases across the nation. The centre has additionally requested that the state units of the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) keep vigil over cases of influenza-like illnesses and severe acute respiratory illnesses (ILIs and SARIs) and refer a sufficient number of samples for testing for influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and adenovirus. In a letter to the states and UTs sent after an interministerial review conference with the NITI Ayog, Rajesh Bhushan, Secretary of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), acknowledged that an increasing trend in ILI/SARI cases was being seen nationwide. Integrated sentinel-based surveillance of ILI and SARI has detected an increase in influenza A cases during the second half of December 2022. Bhushan specifically raised as a matter of particular concern the prevalence of Influenza A (H3N2) observed in the samples examined in several labs in his letter. Young children, the elderly, and those with co-morbidities are more at risk for and vulnerable to H1N1, H3N2, adenoviruses, etc., according to the Government of India (GoI). The letter also highlighted the growing incidence of other respiratory ailments across the nation. The steadily rising COVID-19 test positivity rates were brought up by the Union Health Secretary as an urgent concern. The health official stated, “Despite low number of new cases, equally low number of hospitalisations and significant advances made in terms of COVID-19 vaccination coverage, there is still a need to remain vigilant and focus on the five-fold strategy of test-track-treat- vaccination and adherence to COVID-appropriate behavior.” The “Operational Guidelines for Revised Surveillance Strategy in Context of COVID-19” are to be put into full effect by the states and UTs in order to conduct integrated surveillance of respiratory pathogens that manifest as ILI/SARS cases. The number of Adenovirus cases in the nation has also increased. According to the testing of the samples being done by many of the ICMR’s VRDL network labs, over 25.4% of respiratory samples have tested positive for adenoviruses since January 1, 2023. The letter continued that while the majority of these agents typically result in a similar mild and frequently self-limiting illness, in some instances an acute respiratory infection with fever and cough, especially in older people, people with obesity and other comorbidities (like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic renal and liver disease, etc.), as well as pregnant women, may experience a more severe manifestation of these diseases requiring immediate medical attention. The centre has urged more community awareness of issues including often washing hands, not spitting in public, using a mask in crowded locations, covering one’s mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, etc. The union health secretary also gave state governments advice on improving human resource capacity based on current recommendations, ensuring that people are immunised against COVID-19 and influenza, and assessing hospital preparedness, including the availability of pharmaceutical drugs, medical equipment, medical oxygen, etc.

How cough syrup gets poisoned: Explained

According to the market research firm Euromonitor, the global market for children’s over-the-counter cough, cold, and allergy medications was expected to reach $2.5 billion in 2022. These medications combine active components like paracetamol, often known as acetaminophen in the US, to lower the body temperature with a glycerin or propylene glycol syrup that is safe, sweet, and simple to take. Global health authorities in Gambia found two extremely toxic substances, ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG), in imported children’s cough syrup. According to Dr. Chaitanya Kumar Koduri, director of regulatory engagement at U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), a non-profit that aids in setting worldwide standards for the manufacturing of drugs, both may be byproducts of the production of propylene glycol. According to Kumar Koduri, manufacturers of propylene glycol for medicinal usage must purify it to get rid of any toxins. Only trace levels of EG and DEG are permitted by international standards in medicines; this equates to 0.10 percent of weight per volume or 0.10 grammes per 100 millilitres of syrup. Similar properties can be found in all the substances. Propylene glycol is not toxic, however DEG and EG are very harmful. If not treated quickly after ingestion, pathologists warn that they can cause kidney failure and ultimately death. The dosage’s lethality is partially influenced by the patient’s weight. Children are more susceptible than adults since they are smaller. Human error is a possibility, according to Kumar Koduri. However, suppliers or manufacturers have in the past used industrial grade propylene glycol or even pure DEG or EG as a substitute because they are less expensive. Two websites selling the chemicals claim that EG and DEG can be less expensive than half the cost of propylene glycol. Over 90 children in Haiti and over 200 in Bangladesh died in the 1990s as a result of DEG in paracetamol syrups. Children have recently died in separate incidents in Panama, India, and Nigeria. Since then, the World Health Organization’s international guidelines have been tightened, and manufacturers are being urged to test more of their -ingredients and finished products. But, it is up to individual countries to enact laws to make sure they are followed at both the manufacturing and consumption points. Source: Reuters
