Use AR, AI, and big data to reform the education system

Education has always been a hot topic in the discussion of the public. The slogans of people have not changed much, such as “to reduce the burden on children” and “to give children a good childhood”. Relevant education departments have also formulated some policies for this purpose, such as “no compulsory school classes”. However, these changes have not had a major impact on education in nature. Parents and students still complain about the relevant departments. People's first impression of the classroom has always been in the way of classroom teaching. This teaching method may lead students to be more rigid when learning, unable to combine the content learned in the classroom with the society, and thus can not experience the fun of learning. With the advancement of the times and the development of related technologies, the new learning style will focus on integrating the classroom and social experience to provide a better future for the students' academic development.

The current education system has always emphasized the popularization of education, that is, the mass training of students. This leads to the fact that each student learns exactly the same in class, ignoring the individual growth of each student. With the expansion of the application scenarios of the Internet, this situation has changed a lot. Currently, most people can use online resources for self-learning, such as YouTube, Udacity, and TED. However, this still does not solve the shortcomings of the current education system.

The center of gravity should be placed on wisdom

Wisdom is the accumulation of knowledge, experience and good judgment. For the current way of education, teachers have never taught children how to use wisdom to make appropriate decisions in class. In addition, the classroom environment is centered on sharing information and knowledge, and lacks practical operations. Therefore, this leads to the classroom environment unable to care for every student, which is considered an “unfair” education. As a teacher, the challenge of how to get every student involved in classroom teaching still exists. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a framework that can be adapted to everyone. In addition, the existing education system has many shortcomings in personal growth, socialization, and communication with others. Although students stay in the classroom every day, they have little interaction during the learning process, which leads to the inability of the mind to flow, so that learning is stagnant and exchanges produce value. So how do you solve these problems? Let's explore some of the possible ways below.

New technologies can be applied to education: AR, AI, and big data

With the development of technology, many technologies have also been applied in the education industry. This paper argues that three important technologies that have an impact on future education are AR (Augmented Reality), AI (Artificial Intelligence), and Big Data (Big Data). For us, only by making good use of these three technologies can we make learning more humane and enhance our individual's critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Immersive education

In order to get the next generation to receive the right education, we need to use immersive education. Immersive education is a way to educate using AI, AR, and big data technologies. Computers and AR devices have begun to provide learners with realistic learning scenarios that will make users more immersed in learning. In addition, as virtual reality glasses become cheaper and cheaper, many users can buy them, which makes it possible to change the way users learn.

For a real AR experience, similar to Microsoft's Hololens technology can completely change the way we visualize and learn. With AR devices, we can easily change the way we learn and enhance our creativity. Realistic images and scenes open a whole new perspective for learners. For example, you can easily move your room into a solar system so you can interact with the planet or other targets.

Using AR devices can also help learners abstract concepts faster, and visualization generally affects the human brain in a meaningful way. Students can also experience the fantastic scenes displayed in the AR device in the classroom, which in turn affects what they have learned. Currently, similar apps exist on the market, such as MyLab and Universe Sandbox.

Machine learning

Artificial intelligence is gradually changing our world. At present, artificial intelligence has been applied to many industries, such as sports, finance, and automatic driving. However, it has not yet been seen to apply artificial intelligence to the education industry. Therefore, we can't help but think that artificial intelligence will change education? The answer is yes. Artificial intelligence can now learn some of human behavior, and advances in text-to-speech recognition have enabled machines to interact with us, such as Cortana, Siri, and Echo. The ability of artificial intelligence is incalculable, and we have only just begun a preliminary exploration of it. In what way will artificial intelligence replace teachers or at least help teachers understand the needs of students? Time will tell us the answer. But what is certain is that artificial intelligence will make our whole world more connected and learning more interesting.

Learning from data

In order to understand how to learn, we need to map the data to the corresponding mode. These models in turn enable some academic activities to understand certain important concepts, such as self-learning, group learning, or creative learning. In the era of big data, every second generates a lot of data, and data scientists use this data and understand it, and finally find some useful information. However, the analysis of the data in the education industry has just begun, and I believe that over time, we can make major breakthroughs in this industry to change the way we view education.

VR glasses, online learning platforms, and other forms of technology are able to collect data and use it to mine how students work with learning materials. For example, VR glasses can capture the eye movements of the students and analyze which types of information are most attractive to them. In this way, they can get the information they are interested in. Then, according to each student's “teaching (interest, talent) teaching”, I believe that the students will be very interesting to learn, and the mastery of the content will be greatly improved.

Final thought

With the development of technology, our education needs to make some changes, and we are also in an era of change. Current technology can not only help us understand our learning habits, but also change the way we teach by using AI, AR, and big data. In this way, the education system can be improved because we will be more patient to learn and understand the learning content. This change will also affect the career and personal development of each of us, because the transformed education system provides a private, customized learning path for everyone.
