The Mangaluru-based Expert Group of Institutions has launched an AI-powered learning platform 'Expert e-learn'. Speaking at the launch in Mangaluru on Saturday, Ankush N Nayak, Director (Information Technology), Expert Group of Institutions, said 'Expert e-learn' is designed to enhance the learning experience for PU (pre-university) science students. It is currently available to students enrolled in Expert's colleges and coaching classes through an Android-based app. He said it will be accessible to the general public from the next academic year. Highlighting the features of the platform, he said the 'Expert e-learn' app caters to students who need additional support in understanding complex classroom concepts. The platform offers educational videos created by Expert's teachers. Each topic is broken down into concise 10-minute videos, incorporating interactive questions to engage students. He said success in answering these questions allows students to move forward. 'EZ', an AI-powered assistant, enables students to clarify doubts by guiding them to the exact segment of a video or set of notes where they can find the answer, alongside delivering comprehensive explanations. "Unlike conventional search engines or public AI chatbots, 'EZ' provides responses based on NCERT and Expert's proprietary study materials, ensuring accuracy and relevance. AI also offers notes in multiple languages, making learning more accessible to students in their mother tongue," he said. Students can pose questions from various angles, request quizzes, and generate model question papers. The app then evaluates their responses and supplies key solutions, he said. The 'Expedition' feature presents workbooks across various subjects -- Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, Electronics, Statistics, English, and Indian languages such as Kannada, Hindi, and Sanskrit -- in an exploratory manner. By encouraging students to examine concepts from multiple perspectives, 'Expedition' seeks to enhance problem-solving skills and foster creativity, Nayak said. This learning platform runs on an Android tablet provided by the institution. Usage is disabled between 11 pm and 5 am to promote healthy habits among students, he added.

MANGALURU: A city-based PU college has launched a cutting-edge AI-powered learning platform designed to transform the educational landscape for PU science students. On Saturday, Expert Group of Institutions launched the AI-powered e-Learning platform, 'Expert e-learn', for PU science students. The platform features Expert e-learn, AI-driven EZ, and the interactive module Expedition. Giving out the details, Ankush N Nayak, director (IT) of Expert Group of Institutions, said that the learning platform brings together nearly four decades of teaching experience. EZ, the AI-powered assistant, is the cornerstone of the platform. It helps students clarify doubts by guiding them to specific segments of videos or notes containing the answers and providing detailed explanations. "Unlike conventional search engines or public AI chatbots, EZ provides responses based on NCERT and Expert's proprietary study materials, ensuring accuracy and relevance. It also gives references to the answers," explained Nayak. Additionally, the platform offers notes in multiple or vernacular languages, making learning more accessible to students in their mother tongue. The AI also enables two-way communication, allowing students to ask questions, request quizzes, and generate model question papers. The platform is currently accessible to students enrolled in Expert's colleges and coaching classes via an Android app. Expert e-learn will be available to the general public from the next academic year. "We are now offering it to our students. After learning all the pros and cons and making necessary changes, it will be rolled out to the general public in the coming days," said Ankush. Another feature of this platform is that it will not be functional from 11 pm to 5 am. Ankush stressed that they want students to get enough sleep, and the purpose of going offline during those sleeping hours is to ensure this. Narendra L Nayak, chairman, and Ushaprabha N Nayak, vice-chairperson of Expert Group of Institutions, said that 'Expedition' is an innovative feature designed to rekindle students' natural curiosity. It presents workbooks across various subjects in an engaging and exploratory manner, available in both physical and digital formats through the Expert e-learn platform.
