How to Use AI in eLearning Development in 2023
Personalised Learning: The Impact of AI on the eLearning Industry Artificial intelligence is revolutionising the eLearning industry by providing personalised learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and enabling better assessment and feedback mechanisms. AI is also making it easier to offer private video hosting, ensuring secure and controlled access to sensitive training content, which is particularly important for corporate and compliance-based learning. We are using the power of AI to make eLearning more efficient, effective, and engaging for learners around the world. We have been making eLearning over the last 20 years, but have found that recently the demand for eLearning has accelerated rapidly. We are creating eLearning for organisations at a faster pace to keep up with demand. We have found that many organisations are now using rapid authoring tools, agile methodologies, and automated processes to speed up the eLearning courseware creation process. This improves productivity but the end results can be questionable. I always say ‘Simply giving someone a paintbrush does not make them an artist.’ At Open eLMS we leverage technologies such as machine learning and adaptive learning. We can use our AI driven eLearning platforms to automatically create personalised content recommendations, assessments, and feedback. This leads to better learning outcomes and higher learner engagement. No longer do we need to design a one size fits all approach to learning. We can use AI to create personalised learning paths and even personalised learning content – down to the individual eLearning course. Key AI Technologies that will transform eLearning: From machine learning to Natural Language Processing Machine learning and deep learning have a significant impact on eLearning by enabling intelligent content creation, automated assessment, and adaptive learning experiences. We have been leveraging these technologies within our own learning platforms. Our technology can analyse learners’ data and behaviour to provide a personalised learning experience. We use Artificial Intelligence to change the learning process from one where the learner will have personalised learning modules suggested and even created for them, rather than searching through a library of course material. We use AI to create eLearning material quickly and easily. Check out our article on Using AI to write eLearning scripts and AI generated scripts. I am sure that very soon it will be standard to create eLearning using AI in the same way we would do a Google Search. eLearning will be automatically created within LMSs by ai systems to satisfy prescribed needs rather than be assigned by Learning Management System (LMS) administrators. LMS creates eLearning using AI Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. At Open eLMS we have created company specific conversational interfaces, chatbots, and voice-enabled assistants to communicate directly with learners on organisation specific topics. Such chat systems will very soon be embedded within Learning Management Systems – such as Open eLMS as standard. We believe that sign-posting, rather than rote learning, will enable learners to manage complex tasks at their own pace, with just-in-time information. Corporate training and online education need not be a classroom type experience or webinar. We have created an organisational brain (or NLP virtual assistant) to offer personalised support as and when needed. Virtual reality and augmented reality technologies have the potential to revolutionise e learning by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. By simulating real-world scenarios and environments, these technologies can improve learners’ retention, engagement, and performance in a variety of fields, from healthcare and engineering to sales and marketing. I predict that with AI entering eLearning course creation, personalized learning experiences will become increasingly sophisticated. As a result, we have found that AI content creation allows us to move away from traditional training paradigms, we can now create virtual learning worlds (rather than 2D presentations), since sophisticated eLearning is now so much easier to produce. We have compiled a summary of technologies available to create eLearning is available here else view the video on YouTube: How we are using AI to Create eLearning. Openelms.ai: AI-Driven Content Creation is here! We all know that the development of course materials can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. As alluded to earlier in this article, we have created an Artificial Intelligence driven eLearning authoring tool called ‘openelms.ai’. This will allow our clients to streamline the entire course development process and dramatically reduce costs. We can use openelms.ai to produce interactive eLearning courses with video presenters in virtual learning worlds. The elearning will match the student’s learning style and can be ready in under a minute from conception to delivery. We estimate that this is at 1/2,700 of the previous development life cycle, all for less than the cost of a cup of coffee! Our clients can enter a single line of text, openelms.ai then uses machine learning algorithms to determine the personalising learning objectives, quiz and script remaining eLearning content accordingly. This Artificial Intelligence AI powered design tool, then designs the screen, creating and curating learning material (images, animation and video) with human trainer guides who act as virtual assistants. We have found that interactive learning experiences are critical to engaging learners and promoting a deeper learning pedagogy. openelms.ai can leverage interactive elements such as quizzes, knowledge checks and branching scenarios to create immersive and engaging learning experiences. When designing openelms.ai, we ensured that the learning content and language can be personalised to the learner’s skill level and language. Thanks to machine learning, creating assessments and educational content online has never been easier. Bespoke online courses are no longer limited to corporate training, as the education industry can also benefit from the use of Artificial Intelligence. Our aim though has never been to replicate existing course material, instead we want to better it. We have made a video of how the system works so you can judge for yourself: openelms.ai – Create eLearning in 60 seconds else it can be accessed for free directly at openelms.ai.
