The LEADER-AI Project: LEAarning analytics and AI for personaliseD lEaRning – May 2023

Cyprus partner (UNIC & CARDET) has conducted two focus groups with 4 participants each. The aim was to collect data regarding the readiness of Higher Education Institutes (current state, practices followed, and what is needed). The findings of the two focus groups concentrate on the below three categories (Personalised learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Learning Analytics (LA), and Challenges and Benefits).

A) Personalised learning: This section explores the concept of personalised learning as defined by the participants of the focus groups. The participants emphasise the importance of adapting teaching methods and objectives to meet students’ individual needs. They mention techniques such as presenting materials in various formats, working in groups, and using adaptive learning technologies. The benefits of personalised learning include tailored instruction, increased engagement, and student collaboration.
B) Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Learning Analytics: In this section, the participants discuss using AI tools and learning analytics in education. They mention specific AI tools such as language learning apps with AI algorithms, translation tools like Google Translate and Deepl, and writing assistance tools like Grammarly and Turnitin. The participants also highlight the application of learning analytics for tracking individual learner progress, gathering data on student demographics and performance, and generating reports through platforms like Moodle and Blackboard.
C) Challenges and Benefits: The final section focuses on the challenges and benefits of implementing personalised learning and using AI and learning analytics tools. The challenges mentioned include the difficulty of fully personalising teaching in higher education, lack of university-wide practices, insufficient training and support, limitations of AI tools, and the need for critical thinking skills. On the other hand, the benefits discussed include time-saving, automation of tasks, access to vast information, improved teaching material preparation, and the ability to track and improve student engagement and progress through learning analytics.
