Harnessing AI for Diverse Learning Needs
Artificial intelligence has the potential to greatly enhance learning experiences for students, especially those with diverse needs. Tools like AI-powered writing feedback significantly improve the speed and quality of feedback, allowing students to receive assistance on their assignments in a matter of minutes rather than hours. This technology is especially beneficial for non-native speakers and those transitioning between different academic disciplines, providing tailored support that helps bridge gaps in understanding. By leveraging AI, educational institutions can create a more inclusive environment, ensuring that all students have access to the resources they need to succeed.
