Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed various industries since its mainstream adoption. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT have become indispensable in everyday life. As AI continues to advance, many wonder about its future implications, particularly in education.
If you are curious like I am, let us explore together the innovative EdTech work of tech founder Samuel Linus.
Samuel Linus is the founder of Nerdy Eye, a tech community dedicated to helping individuals acquire tech skills or make a successful career transition. Drawing on his experience in EdTech, Linus recognized that learners often prefer course creators with active communities.
While many educators and course creators aim to offer community-driven courses, they often struggle to find suitable platforms.Based on their own experiences as educators, Linus and his team identified two key challenges.
The first challenge was that, the process for coaches to offer online community driven courses is broken. Most coaches will have to host their courses on one platform and their community on other like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord etc. which ends up not working.
Secondly, students, especially those learning virtually want a community driven learning experience like having someone to ask questions, peer-peer learning etc. but can’t get it using WhatsApp, Telegram or the traditional LMS.
Samuel Linus and his Co-Founder Franklin Emmanuel are solving this two key challenges facing online learning by building Allies an A.I powered EdTech Platform that empowers course creators or coaches to offer community driven online courses and bootcamps with an A.I Assistant.
The AI will help teachers by:
- Answering student questions
- Pairing students together for learning
- Creating course descriptions and landing pages.
Samuel Linus thinks AI will be able to make videos for courses in a coming years. AI will be like our teachers in the future, but we will still need people to learn together. Companies like OpenAI and Google are making AI that can create videos. People think this is only for movies, but it can also make videos for teaching things like programming, design, and other skills.
We anticipate the impact of what Samuel Linus and his team are building with Allies. It will help course creators or coaches make use of A.I to offer community driven online courses and bootcamps.
