This chapter looks at the advances in learning technology to stimulate
deeper learning in students. These include the use of artificial intelligence (AI), natural
language processing, pattern and speech recognition, and robotics. AI can monitor class
performance, provide personalized learning support to students, and create an
immersive learning experience through the use of virtual or augmented reality.
Augmented and virtual reality are useful in helping students understand situations
which are difficult to visualise. Virtual reality (VR) can assist students to practice
without physical limitations.
