Empowering Educators with EdOne: A GenAI-Powered Revolution in Learning

May 15, 2024
Introduction

In today's fast-paced world, data has become one of the most valuable resources for businesses, especially when it comes to decision-making. However, while many organizations collect data, they often fail to utilize it effectively. This is where the data-driven enterprise strategy comes in.

Unpacking GenAI: The Engine Behind Modern Education

Predicted to reach USD 30 billion by 2032 (Global Market Insights inc.), demand for AI in Education is at an all-time high. GenAI refers to the subset of AI technologies that are able to create new content, including written texts, images and beyond. In education, these capabilities translate into tools that can design customized learning materials and provide interactive learning experiences on both the giving and receiving ends.

Breaking it down technically, GenAI is made up of foundation models, also known as FMs, which are large-scale, pre-trained models that can be customized for specific tasks. This offers a competitive edge with less data and computational resources needed than building a model from scratch. Through EdOne, these FMs have been adapted to reflect unique characteristics, features and services. This is done through AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia Chips, providing the most cost-effective solutions for training models and running inference in the cloud.

Today, both educators and their institutions are looking to incorporate more adaptive learning technologies into their curriculums, so EdOne stands out as a particularly promising ally, with so much in store. To describe the hype around this new wave of tech in more tangible terms: Singapore is now focused on becoming a world leader in AI by 2030, helping teachers personalize and enrich their students' educational experiences; South Korea is reaching for AI coursework to be incorporated in its national curriculum by 2025; and The United Kingdom has been continuously adopting new principles for Universities to be able to adapt teaching and assessments with the aim to embrace the ethical use of GenAI, ensure integrity and continue to collaborate and share best practices as we see more advancement in this technology.

As the world moves forward with AI technology integrated within education, one of the most significant advantages for institutions using EdOne in their education models is the ability to tailor educational content to each teacher's and student's specific needs. This personalized approach helps to maximize learning efficiency by focusing on customized and improved delivery methods, thereby making education more effective and engaging, with limitless possibilities at hand.

These summaries serve as valuable revision tools for students, helping them to retain and comprehend complex topics. Teachers can edit and refine these takeaways, translate them into different languages and regenerate them to ensure they meet the specific learning outcomes of each lecture.

To further enhance learning retention, EdOne provides an automated flashcard generation tool. These flashcards pose questions and provide short answers based on the lecture content, serving as an effective study and revision mechanism for students. Teachers can fully control the content of these flashcards, with options to edit, regenerate, or completely customize them, ensuring they are perfectly aligned with the lecture material and learning objectives. In addition, EdOne has a “Q&A” tool supporting active learning by encouraging students to engage with the lecture content through various question formats, including fill-in-the-blanks, true/false and multiple-choice questions. This interactive element aims to test students' knowledge and comprehension. Like other features, the Q&A is fully editable and translatable, allowing teachers to tailor questions to fit the lecture context and student needs accurately.
