Leveraging AI to Enhance Teaching and Learning in Education: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Modernizing Classroom Practices

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) in education is reshaping the learning landscape by providing immersive and personalized learning experiences. Immersive learning through VR and AR allows for practical simulations and experiential learning, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. However, challenges such as ethical considerations, data privacy, and the digital divide need to be addressed to ensure inclusive and equitable access to these advanced learning tools. The chapter explores the benefits of AI-driven immersive learning, including improved student motivation, engagement, and retention, while also discussing scalability and the potential for widespread adoption across diverse educational settings. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating ethical frameworks and continuous research to align AI, VR, and AR applications with the evolving needs of modern education, ensuring that these technologies contribute positively to student outcomes and lifelong learning.
