Innovating Higher Education by Using Education Technology and Expert Systems: Pathways to Educational Innovation

Abstract

The integration of education technology and expert systems in higher education has been gaining increasing attention as a means of fostering educational innovation. Education technology has the potential to enhance the quality of education and support personalized learning, while expert systems can provide students with timely and individualized feedback to promote deeper learning. However, despite the growing interest in these tools, there is a lack of research on the pathways to successful implementation and the potential benefits and challenges that may arise. This paper aims to address this gap in the literature by reviewing relevant studies on the use of education technology and expert systems in higher education. By synthesizing the findings, this paper highlights the potential of these tools to transform traditional approaches to teaching and learning, as well as the challenges that need to be addressed for effective implementation. Specifically, the paper discusses the benefits of education technology and expert systems in terms of enhancing student engagement, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and improving learning outcomes. Additionally, the paper identifies challenges related to infrastructure, faculty readiness and training, and student adoption and usage. The insights presented in this paper have implications for educators, administrators, and policymakers who are seeking to promote educational innovation through technology. By understanding the potential benefits and challenges of using education technology and expert systems, institutions can develop effective strategies to leverage these tools to enhance the quality of education and provide students with a more personalized learning experience. Overall, this paper contributes to the literature by offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on the use of education technology and expert systems in higher education, and by identifying avenues for future research in this area.
