Remediation using ITS offers a diverse and unique experience with the use of tools such as text , multimedia , simulations , and games . These tools empower students to explore different problem-solving approaches and discover new methods of completing certain tasks . ITS has been proven to be as effective as one-on-one or small-group instruction and much more effective than whole-group instruction . The key to the success of ITS is the ability to try different strategies experimentally to cater to a student ’ s learning needs quickly .
Intelligent Tutoring Systems serve as a bridge connecting human and technological intelligence . Teachers must collaborate with the system and teach computer concepts in a manner that is akin to their own teaching methods . The system then is able to reciprocate that instructional approach , replacing the previous approach it was programmed with . ITS emphasizes the learning of problem-solving skills , which extend far beyond factual knowledge . Those skills can be translated into their everyday life , fostering their critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills . The collaborative partnership that comes between teachers and technology using ITS ensures a dynamic and comprehensive learning experience for students .
Academic Integrity
Turnitin is a widely used platform that checks essays and other written projects for plagiarism . This could be directly from other sources , but it now also offers support for Artificial Intelligence detection in writing submitted by students . There are other generative AI detection tools , such as GPTZero , Writer , and Copyleaks . While this Chrome extension , Draftback , is not used to detect if the text was generated by AI , it allows the user to see how a Google Doc changed over time using its version history .
For use during online assessments , there is a tool called Proctorio which monitors student behavior while they take the assessment and then provides the instructor with a report as to places in the video to check to see if the student was determined to be cheating .
While all of these tools are extremely useful for catching students who are using Artificial Intelligence to do their homework for them , it may be worthwhile to teach students how to use AI to leverage their learning .
Enhanced School Security
When it comes to school administration , the safety and well-being of everyone inside the school is one of the top priorities . Tools that allow for facial recognition of guests as they enter the building can help provide an extra layer of protection from unwanted individuals . These systems use advanced video analytics algorithms to detect and alert security personnel about suspicious activities , unauthorized access , or potential threats .
On the technology side , AI can be used for cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive student data and ensure a secure network infrastructure . AI-based tools can detect and mitigate cyber threats , identify anomalous network activity , and provide intelligent insights to IT administrators to strengthen security measures .
