Smart Education

Abstract

Education, especially public education using AI is more important than ever. This is because not only we need to reposition and upgrade our work skills, but more importantly, we should use this extraordinary technology to acquire knowledge, learn from others, and collaborate with all talents worldwide to acquire new knowledge. The richness of alliance is not only beneficial to us, but also to the overall mankind. This chapter begins with smart education progress in the past decades. Next, we examine the smart education model—a four-tier framework of smart pedagogies and key features of smart learning environment. Then, we study the two latest R&D AI-based smart education applications: AI language learning robots and VR-AR teacher to elaborate how AI technology we learnt in previous chapters such as machine learning, NLP technology, ontological knowledge base, VR, and AR can be integrated to provide a new age of smart education.
