Artificial intelligence and the transformation of digital education: robotics, student skills, and learning analytics

This chapter explores the impact that artificial intelligence will make in the education sector and how it will transform the way in which both educators and students interact in the classrooms of the future. The chapter begins with an introduction into the digital education space as well as where artificial intelligence currently sits. When it comes to the transformation of education, the authors explore the educator and student perspectives to ensure both sides requirements are portrayed. Both stakeholders have an equally large learning curve and require more digital literacy than in the past; however, the transformation that artificial intelligence will bring to the table is that educators and students will likely not be trapped with repetitive tasks and can focus on being creative, learning, and teaching. The three elements they explore in this chapter will give insight into work previously completed, research being conducted, and future insights and observations.
