Survey reveals 60 percent believe artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionise education
Singapore – November 29, 2023: Anthology,
a leading provider of education solutions that support the entire learner
lifecycle, announced the results of its 2023 research
study and resulting report AI in Higher Ed: Hype, Harm, or Help, Singapore
Edition, at Anthology’s Innovate & Educate Asia
in Singapore on 7 November. The event was a one-day conference where education
professionals around the region discovered modern solutions to support every
stage of the student learning journey.
The survey results reveal the
perceptions and realities of generative AI use among university leaders and
students in Singapore, and how they differ from their peers in other parts of
the world.
The findings are a subset of a study
of more than 5,000 current students and university leaders from eleven countries,
including Singapore, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, United
States, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.
The report offers intriguing insights as to
the value, challenges and opportunities students and university leaders feel
generative AI tools like ChatGPT bring to higher education.
Among the findings shared at Innovate &
Educate Asia was the progressive attitude towards AI by university leaders at
Singapore institutions. The survey reveals they are much more positive about
the role of AI in higher education than their peers in other countries. They
are also least likely to believe that AI will create new challenges related to
plagiarism, with only 15% citing this as a concern.
“As a pioneer in applying advanced
technology in education, including AI, the enthusiastic endorsement from
students and university leadership in Singapore is highly encouraging,” said
Bruce Dahlgren, chief executive officer at Anthology. “It demonstrates a region
where universities are ready to adopt AI to enrich student experiences and
deliver better outcomes.”
Anthology recently announced a host of new
features facilitated by artificial intelligence, including AI Design Assistant,
a tool that helps instructors quickly create engaging learning experiences in Anthology’s
Learning Management System, Blackboard Learn Ultra. All product features that
leverage AI are developed following Anthology’s
Trustworthy AI program and commitment to responsible, lawful and ethical
use of AI.
Anthology showcased these new AI features
and other advancements in their portfolio of EdTech solutions at Anthology’s Innovate
& Educate Asia in Singapore, 7 November. The event was a must for
teaching and learning staff members, system administrators, academics, learning
designers, and education professionals.
In addition to focus groups and panel
discussions with industry experts from around the world, Natalie Hong, Senior
Project Officer at UNESCO Bangkok, discussed the transformation of the role of
teachers, moving from curriculum executors to reflexive practitioners and
knowledge producers.
The keynote session featured Anthea Indira
Ong, a changemaker, social entrepreneur, and impact investor. She shared her
insights on mental health and wellbeing, addressing the importance of going
beyond learning.
