Izinkundla zokucobelelana ngolwazi ezijwayelekile zentuthuko yobungcweti ezenziwa kanye kuphela azanele ukulungiselela othisha ukuhlanganisa ubuhlakani bokwenziwa (artificial intelligence - AI) emakilasini abo, ngokusho kobambiswano locwaningo nokusebenza olwenziwe yi-Digital Promise ngokusekelwa umhlinzeki wezobuchwepheshe bezemfundo i-D2L. Yize iziphathimandla zemfundo zivame ukwethula izikhathi eziyimfijoli ezigxile ekusebenzeni kwamathuluzi, ubumfihlo bedatha, ukufinyeleleka, kanye nezinqubomgomo zokwethembeka kwezemfundo, ucwaningo lutholé ukuthi othisha basebenzisa i-AI ngendlela enenjongo yokufundisa kuphela uma ukuqeqeshwa kubhekana nemisebenzi esheshayo, eyangempela—echazwe ababambiqhaza ngokuthi yizikhathi “I-need-it”.

Ucwaningo, oluhlolisise indlela othisha abasebenzisana ngayo namathuluzi e-AI abhekiswe kubafundisi, luveze ukuthi ukujwayelana nezici zesofthiwe akuhumushi ekwakhiweni kwezifundo ngendlela ephumelelayo. Othisha babhekana nezinqumo zokufundisa ezincike esimweni lapho ukuqeqeshwa okujwayelekile kuhluleka khona ukubhekana nazo, njengokunquma ukuthi okukhishwe yi-AI kuyathembeka yini, ukuhlola ukuthi umsebenzi uyakuqinisa yini ukufunda kwabafundi, kanye nokubhekana nomehluko wamazinga amabanga. Okutholakele kubonisa ukuthi ukuthuthukisa ukwahlulela okuzwakalayo kokufundisa mayelana ne-AI kudinga isikhathi esiqhubekayo sokuhlola, ukuhlolisisa imiphumela, kanye nokusebenzisana nozakwethu abathembekile ezinkingeni ezithile ezifana nokwakhiwa kwezifundo nokubuyekezwa kokuhlola.

Ezikoleni zaseNingizimu Afrika naseminyangweni yezifundazwe ekhulisa amacebo okufunda ngobuchwepheshe bedijithali kanye nokubhala amakhodi (coding), okutholakele kugqamisa ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa kwamakhompyutha okuhleliwe kweseshini eyodwa akunakuthatha isikhundla sokusekelwa okuqhubekayo kontanga ezingeni lesikole lapho kwethulwa ubuchwepheshe obuyinkimbinkimbi ekufundiseni kwansuku zonke.
