Digii, India’s leading SaaS provider for higher education, recently released a first-of-its-kind survey titled ‘AI-Driven Education: Maximizing the potential of AI to aid educators and enhance educational successes.’ The survey sought to understand how faculty members in Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad view the growing role of artificial intelligence in education. The findings revealed that 93% of faculty members across these regions are enthusiastic about AI and believe it will significantly enhance their teaching experience.
Based on insights from over 500 educators across 22 leading institutions nationwide, including Manipal Academy of Banking, Jain (Deemed-to-be University), Chanakya University, BITSoM, VIT Bangalore, The Apollo University, Malla Reddy University, and the Indian Institute of Art and Design, the study explored AI’s transformative potential on the overall teaching experience. It also assessed faculty readiness for training in AI tools and examined how technology can be leveraged to revolutionize teaching and learning.
According to the survey, about 41% of faculty members are actively using AI in their teaching. Among these, over 70% utilize AI for content creation, 40.1% for generating assessments, 28.4% for monitoring attendance, 24.4% for conducting evaluations, and 22.5% for generating feedback. Additionally, over 37% have experimented with AI tools but are not currently using them, while 21.6% have not used AI tools at all in their teaching.
In response to a growing interest in AI in the education sector and to assist educators in upskilling, Digii has launched DigiiAI, a new generative AI tool, in over 20 educational institutions across India. It is designed to streamline time-consuming tasks such as attendance tracking, class schedule preparation, documentation, assessment creation, and evaluation. DigiiAI harnesses the power of advanced AI models to offer a robust and scalable solution that enhances the teaching experience for faculty.
Hemant Sahal, Founder & CEO of Digii, commented on the recently revealed survey:
One of the most promising insights from our survey is the overwhelming enthusiasm among educators in Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad to embrace AI-based tools. 97% of them are not only interested in leveraging AI to improve learning outcomes but are also willing to undergo the necessary training to integrate these tools effectively into their teaching practices.
