Applications of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Higher Education

Abstract

The rapid integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education has brought about transformative changes to traditional teaching and learning practices. This chapter examines the multifaceted impacts of ICT in the higher education sector. Over the past two decades, ICT has revolutionized the way educational institutions operate, impacting teaching methodologies, student engagement, and administrative processes. In the realm of pedagogy, ICT has facilitated the shift towards student-centered learning, empowering learners with access to diverse digital resources and interactive learning platforms. Moreover, administrative tasks within higher education have been streamlined through the adoption of ICT, resulting in enhanced efficiency in enrollment, record-keeping, and communication between stakeholders. This optimization allows educators to focus more on instructional design and student support, fostering a conducive learning environment.
