AI & VR in Education

3 Ways to Make AI and VR Work in Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) are taking education beyond the confines of the classroom, providing educators and students with robust, interactive opportunities to maximize their education. These high-tech tools expose students to more scenarios to apply their learning and test their skills. Here are three ways they work in education:


1. Educate Without Limits

VR platforms engage students with content to improve instructional outcomes, while the use of the technology helps them master technical skills in a controlled environment that mimics real-world situations. Google Cardboard, for instance, is a VR device that works with smartphones and apps to provide students with an affordable, accessible VR experience. Google Expeditions lets teachers take students on virtual fieldtrips to faraway places that would otherwise be inaccessible to them.

2. Optimize for Outcomes

AI-powered tools accelerate education by helping teachers expand their reach. New AI applications are being used for enhanced grading, while student outcomes are improved with AI systems that customize lesson plans based on student performance. Not only can AI help close educational gaps, it delivers more tailored instruction to those who need it most. Here are a few examples:

·         Smart content digitized from textbooks and guides. Websites like cram101 and justthefacts101 repackage textbook content into study aids and summary materials for use as student aids. 

·         Personalized tutoring with cognitive and AI-based platforms like Carnegie Learning’s “Mika” software provide real-time feedback to customize learning.

·         Crowd-sourced curriculum with social sites like Brainly use AI and machine learning to bring millions of students together to fill gaps in educational content.

3. Gear Up for Immersive Learning

Getting the most from AI and VR requires advanced computing devices like HP ZBooks. They are optimized to support high-graphic video analytic workloads in a compact, mobile form factor that also comes with detachable screens that convert to tablets, which are easy to integrate into educational environments. The HP ZBook 17 G4 Workstation Quadro P4000, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, is even configured for VR.
