Paper Details

Within education, Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly emerging field and there is a strong potential for AI to greatly extend and enhance teaching and learning in higher education (Crompton et al., 2020). AI is defined as “computing systems that are able to engage in human-like processes such as learning, adapting, synthesizing, self-correction and use of data for complex processing tasks” (Popenici & Kerr, 2017). This study is a literature review. Data and information that emerged in this paper are collected from the various reports and articles published by national and international agencies on the applications of artificial intelligence in education. The results of the study indicates that Intelligent tutoring systems, Personalized learning, Adaptive assessment, Virtual reality, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Educational chatbots and other platforms of Artificial Intelligence provides a better means of students learning in an interactive environment. It is also found that resistance to change, problems regarding accessibility, teacher training and security etc. are some serious barriers in successful integration of AI in higher education.
