Campus Tour B:

AI-Powered E-Learning System In Creating Personalized Teaching And Learning

One of the biggest challenges among educators is that everyone learns at different paces; as learning gaps between students grow, the learning experience suffers. Personalized learning is crucial to ensure each student gains optimal knowledge retention with the right level of learning at the right time. Artificial Intelligence is increasingly transforming the education industry with its ability to capture learning data, profile each individual student and customize learning material according to individual proficiency and progress.
