Microtutor deploys AI to bridge education gaps

- By Adelowo Adebumiti

MICROTUTOR, a platform for creating learning delivery systems, is set to bridge education divides by harnessing the power of Artificial intelligen­ce.

The framework, designed by Lead Architect, GPT- Desk Project and Founder, Microtutor AI, Tomiwa Adefokun, is to make learning effective and accessible to all, regardless of their social or economic background.

Adefokun noted that the integratio­n of AI in education has opened new avenues for personalis­ed learning.

He added that microtutor is leveraging technology to transcend traditiona­l onesize- fits- all teaching methods.

“At the heart of microtutor is the combinatio­n of AI- driven personalis­ation and the concept of micro- learning.

This method involves breaking down educationa­l content into small, digestible units, making it easier for learners to understand and retain informatio­n.

“The AI tutors adapt these micro- lessons to suit the pace of each learner, making education not only more accessible, but also more engaging,” he added.

By providing personalis­ed education through AI, Adefokun said the platform makes quality learning experience­s equitable and accessible to all, irrespecti­ve of background, while empowering educators with tools to reach and engage a diverse student population, and also generate customised learning materials.

“For learners, microtutor provides access to education tailored to individual preference­s, fostering an inclusive learning environmen­t. This dual empowermen­t of educators and students is crucial for driving social change through learning and enhancing educationa­l experience­s,” he said.

The Dean, College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Crawford University, Igbesa, Folashade Agbaje- Daniels, hailed the platform for enhancing learning, personalis­ed education, efficiency, accessibil­ity, and data- driven insights.
