Benefits of AI Powered Tech
Security
The surge in data from online learning applications, testing, educational portals, and video-based content has made data security in education challenging. There is an influx of personal details, academic records, health and financial information that are not being shared digitally. Having strong data security fosters a sense of responsibility and ethical behaviours in your school’s environment, while allowing you to streamline admin tasks and avoid data breach issues.
AI stands out as a powerful solution for data security, thanks to its proactive approach. Unlike reactive measures of traditional methods, AI actively finds potential risks and vulnerabilities, allowing schools to stay ahead of potential threats and prevent breaches. In the unfortunate event of a breach, AI’s capabilities shine with rapid data recovery. This minimises downtime and mitigates the impact of security incidents, providing a layer of protection that instils confidence in the school community.
Costs
Budget concerns have always been on schools’ radars, and with the increasing digitisation of education, IT costs are becoming a pressing issue. However, the challenge intensifies as budgets are still tight. While the top advice for maximising IT budgets is to plan and prioritise, investing becomes tricky when future school needs are uncertain.
AI-integrated IT solutions come to the rescue, addressing this common challenge effectively. They have the flexibility to scale up or down based on usage. This means you only pay for what you need, ensuring optimal performance without compromising efficiency. It’s a practical way for schools to manage their budgets smartly while embracing the benefits of AI technology.
Reduce Workloads
Teach burnout is becoming a topic of concern recently, with 70% of teachers reporting unmanageable workloads. Juggling staffing shortages, designing curriculum and lesson plans, catering to students with complex needs, mandatory training requirements, and the sheer volume of administrative work outside of teaching duties has created a perfect storm.
Schools grapple with troublesome paper-based record-keeping, manual administrative tasks, and outdated processes. Enter AI, a proven solution to alleviate this workload. By automating routine administrative tasks, AI allows educational staff to reclaim valuable time.
Learning Experience
At the heart of all these advantages is the main goal of every school – creating a better learning experience. When your staff uses AI-backed technology, it directly affects how students learn. It takes away the burden of tasks like worrying about data security, handling costs, and managing administration. Giving them freedom to focus on what matters most – teaching.
AI is here to stay, and while there might be concerns about how students use it and its overall impact, the key is to teach them how to use it ethically for their benefit. What better way to do that than leading by example and becoming an AI-powered school?
