Canvas by Yifan Wan

Personalized Overview

yifanwan — 2025-07-25 19:38:50 UTC

I chose the education industry first because I am a student, and second because I am very eager to know how AI and education are combined. During my studies, I have already experienced some AI tools. Here I want to explore how AI helps the education industry. How does AI affect students and teachers? On this Padlet, I will present three examples of AI in the education industry. Chatgpt for learning assistance, Duolingo for language learning, and Gradescope for grading. I also need to discuss the future development of AI in the education field and how some ethical issues can change us. AI will play a huge role in the education field. It can assist teachers and provide students with more resources. But we must also be aware of the drawbacks of AI, make good use of it and turn it into an effective tool.

ChatGPT with learning

Many students will use ChatGPT to assist with their studies. AI provides you with the optimal solution through data collection. This will enable you to acquire a lot of new knowledge, and students can also have more self-study abilities. However, students should not use it when completing their school homework and copy the answers provided by AI either. Students should be able to finish their homework independently. Overall, as long as we use it correctly, Chatgpt is definitely a good tool.

Language Learning with Duolingo AI

yifanwan — 2025-07-25 20:03:25 UTC

Duolingo is an APP about language learning that uses AI to connect with every learner. And it can help you practice your listening and pronunciation. It employs large language models (LLMS) to assist you in completing language learning. I think this is very convenient and fast. However, I think in terms of pronunciation and language usage, AI is still a bit inferior to humans.

Gradescope for Grading Assignments

Gradescope will also be used in sbu. This technology is probably about automatic scoring technology. In my MAT131 class last semester, the professor also used this to grade the test papers. It saved the professor a lot of time. Our test papers only need to be uploaded and marked by the professor. The score will appear automatically. However, this APP is only applicable here and it is highly efficient. In other aspects, such as creating, it seems to be of no use, so this APP is mostly not as widely used as other AI tools.

Future Trends and Ethical Considerations

yifanwan — 2025-07-26 12:45:49 UTC

The development of AI in education will be extremely rapid. In the future, we might witness AI serving as "TA" to provide tutoring. This sounds quite exciting. But it will also bring some problems. The biggest problem is fairness. Not all students are good at using the Internet. Some people who don't like or are not good at it may lack this AI version of "TA". At the same time, if students overuse AI, they may lose their ability to think independently and become completely dependent on AI. So we need to balance this advantage and disadvantage. Teachers can limit the time students spend on AI, and the government can also formulate relevant regulations.

Societal Impact

AI influences many people in education. For instance, it can help students study by themselves or solve problems. At the same time, AI may also have a stronger knowledge reserve than teachers. In underdeveloped cities, AI can significantly enhance students' pursuit of knowledge. However, there are some problems. For instance, students' excessive use of AI may lead to dependence. If teachers are not proficient in using AI, it may lead to a decline in their work efficiency. However, if AI is overdeveloped, it may lead to employment problems. AI can accomplish some simple tasks. This led to some people losing their jobs.

Reflection

yifanwan — 2025-07-26 13:44:40 UTC

This assignment enabled me to understand how AI is transforming education. Before, I only knew Chatgpt and Duolingo. Now I have learned more and understand the principles of these AI tools and the possible problems they may cause. I have learned how professors use AI to save time and how students can learn more easily. At first, this padlet was very difficult to use, and when recording videos, it could hardly exceed one minute. It was AI that gave me the solution. Let me finish this assignment. I have also learned that AI is not perfect. We must use it carefully. This assignment made me think more about how I should use AI in the future
