What does the future of education hold?

Learning is no longer something that happens in a long, solid block of time in a formal environment. Today, learning is all about digital environments available when and where people need them.

And those digital environments are changing faster than anyone seems to have noticed.

It’s no longer enough to just set up a webcam and post lecture videos online. Learning in 2017 is all about context, personalisation, and an ever-increasing deployment of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Here are a few ideas on the some areas that artificial intelligence will have an impact in education presented by Forbes:

• Virtual mentors for every learner: Omnipresent support that integrates user modeling, social simulation and knowledge representation.
• Addressing 21st century skills: Assist learners with self-direction, self-assessment, teamwork and more.
• Analysis of interaction data: Bring together the vast amounts of data about individual learning, social contexts, learning contexts and personal interests.
• Provide opportunities for global classrooms: Increase the interconnectedness and accessibility of classrooms worldwide.
• Lifelong and lifewide technologies: Taking learning outside of the classroom and into the learner’s life outside of school.

Learnerd has already begun revolutionising the world of learning for programmers and hackers. Our chatbot understands context, tracks individual progress, and democratises knowledge across the developed and developing worlds.
