Lead developer at Microtutor.AI and GPT-Desk Project, Tomiwa Adefokun, has called on schools and educators to adopt innovative AI solutions that will drive social change through learning and enhancement of educational experiences.

Adefokun, in a statement, explained that Microtutor.ai is a pioneering conversational learning platform that offers AI tutors to assist human educators and integrates the capabilities of generative AI and microlearning capabilities, providing learners with personalised, adaptive, and focused bite-sized content. 

“Microtutor is part of a bigger project, GPT-Desk, that aims to empower human creativity with AI. By harnessing the power of Artificial intelligence, Microtutor is designed to enable personalised education and also aims to bridge the educational divides, making learning accessible and effective for all, regardless of their social or economic background,” he stated.

The lead developer stated that AI redefined education, and integrating it has opened new avenues for personalised learning while leveraging technology to transcend traditional one-size-fits-all teaching methods. 

Microtutor, he added, played a pivotal role in bridging the educational divides due to socio-economic disparities by providing high-quality, personalised education.

Adefokun said, “Through AI, Microtutor makes quality learning experiences equitable and accessible to all, irrespective of their background. This approach is vital in addressing the imbalances in educational opportunities and outcomes.

“Microtutor also empowers educators with tools to reach and engage a diverse student population and enables them to generate customised learning materials.” 

This functionality allows teachers to create content in various formats and styles, aligning with their teaching methodologies and the unique needs of the target learning audience, according to Adefokun. For learners, Microtutor provides access to education tailored to individual preferences, fostering an inclusive learning environment.
