Brace yourselves: AI is set to explode in higher ed in the next 4 years<\/strong> <\/a>–from ecampusnews.com by Laura Ascione
\nAs AI grows in the education sector, its impact could be felt in student learning programs, websites and admissions programs<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

A new report predicts that artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. education sector will grow 47.5 percent through 2021.<\/p>\n

The report, Artificial Intelligence Market in the U.S. Education Sector 2017-2021<\/a>, is based on in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts.<\/p>\n

One of the major trends surrounding AI and education is AI-powered educational games. Because games have the potential to engage students while teaching them challenging education concepts in an engaging manner, vendors are incorporating AI features into games to enhance their interactivity.<\/p>\n

Educational games that include adaptive learning features give students frequent and timely suggestions for a guided learning experience.<\/p>\n

Web-based learner profiles and blockchain-based technologies should also be on our radars, and are relevant in this discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n
