Artificial intelligence applied to education and educational assessment at the university: introduction of intelligent tutoring systems, recognition systems, and other future trends

Abstract

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) has marked the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution and the genesis of a paradigm shift in the teaching-learning process. AI has been applied to the planning and design of teaching, student assessment and tutoring, and curricular content, integrating it into the creation of smart campuses and computational laboratories. This article, conducts a systematic review of the existing literature in Scopus, analyzing the application of AI in education and the assessment of learning outcomes at the university, in the last decade. The method was based on the recommendations given by García-Peñalvo, F. J. (2022) for conducting robust theoretical reviews. The results have highlighted the following advances: the introduction of intelligent tutoring systems, recognition systems to identify students in online training, security systems in the designs of smart campuses, the personalization of education, and some future trends, such as virtual and augmented reality combined with AI. It is worth noting the importance given to ethical issues related to the use of AI in the assessment of university students.
