AI Will Define Education in the Post-Pandemic Era

IBM | June 01, 2020

In the last two months, the COVID-19 outbreak has forced at least 124,000 U.S. public and private schools in the United States to close under stay-at-home orders, requiring over 55 million students and educators to adopt digital learning as the new normal.Digital learning, also known as e-learning, is not new. Many high school and college students take academic courses online. Even for younger students and continuous learners, private online learning has been a trend for years through mobile tutoring apps and digital learning platforms. Still, that doesn’t mean digital learning is the same now as it was when it started – and it won’t be the same after the coronavirus pandemic is over, thanks to the incorporation of artificial intelligence.
