Education is one of the widely affected industries during the Covid-19 pandemic since the schools and colleges have faced the challenge of teaching, conducting term-end examinations, and correcting answer sheets.
Digital learning has become the new normal and many institutions have started opting for online platforms to conduct classes. Smart classrooms, e-learning platforms, online examinations, onscreen marking systems, and other such innovative digital education platforms have been developed which has transformed the traditional education system into a digital education system. Latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) etc. which have played an enormous role in developing applications, testing the software, and also in improvising the with better user-interface.
We can develop advanced analytics and applications that support e-learning can be created. Personalized learning apps and other digital learning innovations can be implemented to improvise the interaction between the teacher and the student. Advanced features such as screen sharing, video calls, chats, data analysis, student data management, virtual assistance, live feedback, and offline learning can be developed which can enhance the quality of learning. Even monitoring can be done by an AI-based system, it can analyze the body position, eyes, head, speech, and other movements to track the actions performed by the candidate during the examination. The system gives immediate signals to the invigilator when any movement is detected or even remote systems can be used to manage multiple students.
The AI-based algorithm will monitor and track the performance of students in exams and online lectures by providing teachers with a detailed analysis of student performance and the performance of the entire batch. This helps the teachers in evaluating techniques and strategies through which the students can be improvised which also reduces the burden to teachers.
Another headache that prevails is the login time analysis. Technology has advanced to that level where Audit logging is enabled, which comprises of the actions such as login, logout, exam access, question navigation, answer responses, and Internet Protocol (IP) tracking can be recorded and stored in the required location. This ensures safety by preventing tracking frauds & hacking, audit trailing, and reviewing. Data analytics is used to receive, store, categorize, and track the data that has been authorized by the user in the specific location present in the device of the user. It is secured through data encryption.
For those who wish to pursue online education as per the latest statistics, the e-learning platform has proven to be successful in recent times due to its customized presentation and design of the information that can be grasped by students. IT is also cost-effective and also reduces the burden on the families of the students who wish to pursue higher education. Organizations can reduce their investments in infrastructure and maintenance. The online platform has the added advantage of being eco-friendly.
