The online education market in Russia, according to experts, is now entering a mature phase and will continue slowly, but
Artificial Intelligence (AI).At the Sberbank conference, Russian President VladimirPutin called for the massive introduction of AI in all areas within the next 10 years. They plan to use the technology to improve the quality of education. For example, AI is already helping to analyze curricula, automate routine intellectual work, evaluate knowledge acquisition, and so on.
VR/AR.Virtual and augmented reality simulationthe environment that a person perceives through the senses. This helps create a comfortable learning environment. The popularity of technology is growing, and more and more startups are developing virtual reality solutions for educational purposes. For example, the Russian company Nomix created an algorithm based on VR/AR for an effective training system. The designed simulator will help you gain experience and apply your skills in your work.
Cloud technologies.The development of this area was accelerated by the pandemic.Schools, universities and online platforms are faced with a lack of resources to organize lessons, lectures and seminars remotely. Cloud technologies have come to the rescue. They greatly facilitated the educational process.
Gamification.Including Game Elements in the Tutorialmakes the complex simple. And if earlier gaming technologies were used mainly in teaching children, today gamification is successfully used in training courses for all ages, including adults. Technology increases engagement, motivation and effectively influences the assimilation of the material.
How will new solutions make work easier?
Technology has now become an integral part oflearning. They improve the interaction between the teacher and the student, save time, help to tailor the curriculum to each person individually and create new opportunities within the learning. Among their advantages are the following:
— visualization of skills;
– creation of unique approaches, methods and models of training;
— identification of gaps in knowledge;
— obtaining instant access to the necessary information;
– studying the material in real time;
- fast feedback.
The main task of introducing technologies into education isprocess personalization. Tools and methods help to formulate and realize their learning needs, as well as to apply their own experience in education. Adult people decide to study in order to achieve a certain result in a professional or social sphere. This implies that they go after the best customer experience, the right knowledge and skills.
What are the difficulties?
AI-assisted personalization technologies are not widely used yet:creating content tailored to the user’s interests, development trajectories for his current level of knowledge and skills, as well as the goals he sets for himself.
The habit of being distracted by the phone:During an online lecture, students experiencedesire to switch. To prevent this, the teacher needs to attract attention, monitor how a person understands the topic, which is why proctoring technologies are now actively developing on educational platforms.
Information on the Internet is not always reliable:in addition to learning on online platforms peopleoften works independently. Sometimes unverified information is published on resources, and as a result, the student already thinks incorrectly. Therefore, the knowledge acquired outside of training with a teacher must be tested.
Technology Perspectives in Adult Education
Today, training on platforms is most oftenpre-recorded content with theory and homework, as well as webinars and group assignments. Throughout the entire period of study, the teacher keeps students engaged and helps them.
In the future, the concept of "course" is likely to blur andthe emphasis will be on the trajectory of human development. This is such a long-term scenario with constant point assignments, theoretical material, mandatory regular face-to-face sessions and group interaction. At the same time, the introduction of technology in education will continue. Already, content can be created for preferences and context using AI and update the goal in the learning process. Don't forget about gamification, including Metaverse, to keep users' attention and engagement level.
