Generative AI has found numerous applications in Education ranging from tutoring bots to agents that synthesis and summarize information from large educational corpuses. What are some yet-to-be explored applications of AI in the African educational space, particularly examples that combat unequal access to education?
I came across an interesting AI tool earlier in the year (2023), the tool is being developed by Africans, with African teachers and for African teachers. This generative AI tool, Curry AI empowers teachers to curate and create pre-vetted lesson notes and test questions seamlessly by feeding larger data sets (in form of pictures, e-books, website links, etc, containing content that are relevant to specific topics in the curriculum) into the AI platform.
Teachers whose content have been vetted to be of high standard could earn by selling their lesson notes to other teachers and schools interested in using their content or whose content were not approved as up to the minimum required standard.
I hope to see AI being used in ways that promote qualitative and not just quantitative access to learning content.
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
