AI & Machine Learning in Educational Assessment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has played a large role in this digital transformation that the education sector has witnessed in recent years. Traditionally speaking, education has been slower to adopt emerging technologies in comparison to other industries like banking, healthcare, and entertainment. The use of AI in testing and assessments is still somewhat early in its development and still requires a human element to ensure accuracy and success. However, the long-term benefits of incorporating AI in classroom teaching and assessments are substantial.

Data Analytics in the Classroom

Using data for making decisions is not new; companies use complex computations on customer data for business intelligence or analytics. Business intelligence techniques can discern historical patterns and trends from data and can create models that predict future trends and patterns. Analytics, broadly defined, comprises applied techniques from computer science, mathematics, and statistics for extracting usable information from very large datasets example web data, company business data, education data.
