Adaptive learning
Get ready to embark on a journey of personalized learning like never before—welcome to the future of Philippine education, powered by AI!
In this visionary landscape, every student receives a tailored learning pathway, crafted to match their unique needs and preferences. Whether it's choosing between modules or selecting the perfect learning modality, AI ensures that education fits like a glove, empowering students to thrive at their own pace.
And for teachers facing the challenge of large classes, AI is the ultimate ally, monitoring student performance and lending a helping hand when needed.
But that's not all—when it comes to standardized testing, AI serves as the perfect tutor; whether you're trying to get in college or medical school, there's bound to be a specialized tutor for you.
Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all education and hello to a future of flexibility and empowerment, where every Filipino student's journey is as unique as they are.
Dr. Olivarez often teaches history classes with large class sizes (i.e. 50-80 students). It's easier for him to manage these classes thanks to an AI-enabled learning management systemThis generates detailed learning profiles that show a student's performance, their learning pace, and recommendations for support (fi the student needs it).
Every student's learning journey is unique to them. In college, students can choose to customize their curriculum based on their needs and preferences (e.g. needing hands-on teachers, wanting to take outside electives). This is done with the guidance of an AI supervisor.
Selected Quotes
...[I would like to see] a curriculum that is ever-evolving — that comes with design. So these are things like...right now, we have the K-12 curriculum right? And they wanted to keep that consistent for everyone. I would prefer that if there's a way for like technology to evolve [education], not just using K-12, but also like adapting it to...the group of students that it's attached to. So for example, if you only stick to K-12, it's hard to implement things like [other] dialects and everything like that, right? Or even then, just having a way for — I don't know if it's gonna be [done through] like AI [or any other] technology — for people to have more freedom and more [control] when it comes to [their own] education. Like you're not just [restricted to] the box of what the K-12 curriculum is, but for example...if I want to learn more like dialects, [would] there [be] a way for technology [to] just have a way to put that in, where it [wouldn't have to] take months...for advising...For education as a whole to evolve the way that anything evolves when it's attached to AI, where it's not just evolved for a group, but evolved for each individual. So the most optimistic state [of education for me] is like a curriculum that best fits each person. We always talk about how education isn't really built for the people who are neurodivergent...it's also unfair for other facets of life that they could have learned growing up. So if it could evolve that way for education, for people in a way that it can change the pacing and change the curriculum for someone to [be able to] reach a different level of potential than if they were in the usual kind of curriculum, [then] that would be great.
...I feel like the issue now is [that AI exists], so it's [all about] finding skills that only people could do...I guess an example would be...maybe engineering would be a good skill to have, like software engineering. Because then people could build the AIs for everyone else...I guess [another possibility would be]...making [medical] education more accessible for people, because...it's a lot of work to become a doctor. Like you need to pay a lot for med school, and then you...can't really work full time until you're like in your thirties...[which] just takes away a lot of like your prime earning years. So you need to have money to do that, to [be able to] not have a job for 10 years. So [technology could be] hopefully making those types of work more accessible to people...[for instance,] hopefully AI could speed [this development] up, like [making] curriculums a lot stronger. Even for standardized testing...[AI is] a perfect standardized testing tutor, to be honest...Standardized testing is bad, but it's a necessary evil to see where people are. Like I've taken standardized tests before, and I hated the process of taking them, but honestly, I kind of got into some trouble in high school for being too opinionated with my teachers, but they couldn't do anything about it because I did well in the standardized tests...
I met with people from a tech startup...[who] were from a review center...Their goal is to have their students be more knowledgeable and prepare them for exams, but they realize that having general classes is not good, because if a student knows about topic A, but is bad at B, and the next student is good at B, but is bad at A, you can’t decide what to teach, and it can become repetitive if you just decide to teach both. So their idea was that having technology take over the teaching aspect. Just have a huge data bank of all the things you have to need, let technology teach it for you and have the students train them in a way that they can be able to learn from technology as well. And if you think about it like having that, having a dedicated assistant without having the cost of a real person doing it? That...can help so many people in the education field. You know it's a Khan Academy. They've done so much, and they've helped so many students become the professionals they are right now. But that's only just start, now that AI is booming. There are so many more that we can do with regards to education.
...[O]ptimistically [for education]...technology...[should make] things easier...not to the point that we replace the workers who perform the task, but rather to augment them. So...technology as a tool to help education...They're more there to cover your weaknesses like, for example...a teacher who teaches a class of like more than 30 [or] 50 [students]. I've had classes that have [had] up to 80 [students]. Maybe you can't monitor all the students altogether, but I think technology can help in the sense of like, you know how teachers overlook...small things like the status of the student, their learning pace? There, maybe we can even have like a learning program that's customized for student to like adapt to their learning…[their] learning needs and quirks...
