Hanoi pilots the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in 5 schools

Smart education is a model that uses information technology to change education by expanding time, space, learning materials and learning methods. Overcoming the limits of conventional classroom lectures, building a smart school model is a requirement of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and has had initial results from a number of schools.

Smart classroom at Nguyen Dinh Chieu Secondary School, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi.

It is known that to pilot the above model, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has selected 5 schools, including: Kindergarten B (Hoan Kiem district), Le Van Tam Primary School (Hai Ba Trung district), Chu Van An Secondary School (Long Bien district), Phan Huy Chu High School (Dong Da district), Nguyen Dinh Chieu Secondary School (Hai Ba Trung district).

Sharing about the topic, Deputy Director of Hanoi Department of Education and Training Nguyen Quang Tuan - Project Manager said that the purpose of the topic is to apply digital transformation to all levels of education in Hanoi, from preschool to high school.

The core of a smart school is the smart classroom. In a smart classroom, there are smart devices such as interactive screens and tablets. In particular, the artificial intelligence part allows facial recognition, assessing students' emotions, and evaluating teachers' communication effectiveness.

During the implementation process, the team of experts researched the world's smart education platform, theories, and lessons learned, then developed a model and applied it specifically to each school and each level of education, including artificial intelligence, digital technology, interactive devices, tablets, interactive screens, virtual reality devices, and production of 3D virtual reality content.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Chan Hung (Hanoi University of Science and Technology) - Head of the expert group implementing the project, the characteristics of the smart classroom are high-end infrastructure, high-speed network allowing more than 50 tablets to connect; new generation interactive screens allow teachers to write and draw, connecting to tablets in a unified ecosystem; students' test results are sent immediately to teachers, helping to increase interaction.

In particular, the integrated artificial intelligence helps automatically measure the average emotions of the class, measure the emotions of each student, helping teachers know which students are interested in learning, what state the students are in, and thereby adjust the teaching method so that students always feel interested in the lesson.

The smart classroom also has the function of automatically converting into digital documents, turning the entire lecture including the teacher's screen, student camera, and teacher camera into a video book to upload to the library. After class, students can open it to study again. This helps students grasp the lesson, and at the same time helps absent students to absorb the lecture.

After a successful pilot at the above 5 schools, the project is expected to be accepted in November 2024; then the Hanoi Department of Education and Training will organize a summary to replicate the model at schools in the city.
