Iindibano zocweyo eziqhelekileyo nezangaxesha-nye zophuhliso lobungcali azanelanga ukulungiselela ootitshala ukuba bafakele ubuntlola bokwenziwa (artificial intelligence okanye i-AI) emagumbini abo okufundela, ngokutsho kophando olwenziwe yi-Digital Promise ngenxaso yababoneleli be-ed-tech i-D2L. Ngelixa abaphathi bezemfundo besoloko beqhuba iiseshoni ezizimeleyo ezigxile kubuchule bokusebenza kwesixhobo, ukhuseleko lweedatha, ukufikeleleka, kunye nemigaqo-nkqubo yokuthembeka kwizifundo, uphando lufumanise ukuba abafundisi-ntsapho bayisebenzisa ngendlela enentsingiselo yokufundisa i-AI kuphela xa uqeqesho lujongana nemisebenzi yangoku neyenzeka ngokwenene—echazwe ngabathathi-nxaxheba njengamaxesha “endiyidinga ngawo”.

Olu phando, oluphande indlela abafundisi-ntsapho abasebenzisana ngayo nezixhobo ze-AI ezijolise kubafundisi, lubonise ukuba ukuqhelana neempawu zesoftwe akuguqukeli kuyilo olusebenzayo lwezifundo. Ootitshala bajongana nezigqibo zokufundisa ezingqamene neemeko ezithile apho uqeqesho oluqhelekileyo lusilela ukujongana nazo, ezifana nokugqiba ukuba ingaba iziphumo ze-AI ziyathembeka na, ukuvavanya ukuba umsebenzi othile uyalomeleza na ukufunda komfundi, kunye nokujongana nomahluko phakathi kwamabanga okufunda. Iziphumo zibonisa ukuba ukuphuhlisa isigqibo esivakalayo sokufundisa malunga ne-AI kufuna ixesha elaneleyo lokuvavanya, ukuhlola iziphumo, kunye nokusebenzisana noogxa abathenjiweyo kwiingxaki ezithile ezinjengoyilo lwezifundo kunye nokuhlaziywa kovavanyo.

Kwizikolo zaseMzantsi Afrika nakumasebe amaphondo akhulisa amalinge okufunda izixhobo zedijithali kunye nokubhala iikhowudi (coding), ezi ziphumo zibonisa ukuba uqeqesho lwekhompyutha oluqhutywa kwindawo enye noluqhutywa kube kanye alunakuthatha indawo yenkxaso eqhubekayo yasezikolweni phakathi koogxa xa kwaziswa iiteknoloji ezintsonkothileyo ekufundiseni kwemihla ngemihla.
