While the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the dire need for the education sector to embrace the use of Artificial Intelligence, the advent of latest technology with online platform has not only helped the students with a better education module but also assisted the educators in providing the best opportunities for the students learning.
AI Testified, a start-up incubated at IIT Kanpur is a unique platform that blends Artificial Intelligence into school education system and UPSC exam preparation. Being India’s pioneering AI driven test platform, it is highly beneficial in understanding and filling the “learning deficit” among the school going students and UPSC aspirants said MK Yadav, CMD, AI Testified (Incubated at IIT Kanpur).
This platform has assumed more importance, as CBSE has recently announced the
commencement of term-based examination policy (MCQs driven) in line with New
Education Policy 2020.While the human interface (teacher) has the potential to tap
themselves into their own social intelligence and adapt to various dynamic circumstances, there is a dire need for the education sector to work out, to hitchhike the best attributes of both. Such synergy of teachers and technology is most likely to ensure better student engagement and improve their interest in learning, thereby creating a “win-win-win” situation for students, educators and the Nation.
In this “era of information explosion”, students need to have conceptual clarity, an
exploratory mindset and should be able to do critical analysis of the information, but
unfortunately, the focus of most of the schools currently is on cramming the syllabus and passing the examination. Thus, the focus should be on analytical education, which will help them to survive and flourish in today’s competitive world.
Where many students have fallen behind in their learning levels amidst the lockdown, AI Testified has delved deeper through extensive research, showcasing, how the newly gained technology trust can be applied to learning. AI Testified has recently implemented this AI based solution in 10 Delhi Government schools (as a part of CSR activity) to “bridge the learning gap” of govt. school children through artificial intelligence driven objective tests.
AI Testified uses Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to identify the conceptual
strength and weakness of each student, with the belief that “each student is unique and own different learning curve”. The tests are customised according to improvement areas of each student. Video lectures are also provided to fill in the identified knowledge gap. Also, students are given choice to use elimination and 50-50 technique to choose the most suitable option. This helps the students to know the accuracy of their concepts and develop their critical thinking ability.
