XAI
Explainable AI for Education (XAI-Ed) is an emerging field of research that aims to develop AI systems that can explain their decision-making process to users in a transparent and interpretable manner. This is particularly important in the context of education, where students and educators need to understand how AI algorithms reach their conclusions in order to improve their learning outcomes.

Research Abstract
The application of XAI-Ed to an adaptive learning system has the potential to revolutionize the way that students learn. Adaptive learning systems are already being used in classrooms to personalize the learning experience for each individual student, but the lack of transparency in the decision-making process of these systems can be a significant barrier to their effectiveness.
By incorporating Explainable AI into adaptive learning systems, educators and students can gain a deeper understanding of the factors that are influencing the system’s recommendations and can adjust their learning strategies accordingly. For example, if an adaptive learning system suggests that a student should focus more on reading comprehension, the system could explain which specific areas of reading comprehension the student is struggling with and provide tailored resources to help them improve.
Furthermore, Explainable AI can help build trust between students and educators and the AI systems they are using. By providing clear and transparent explanations of how recommendations are being made, students and educators can feel confident that the AI system is a reliable and trustworthy learning companion that is working in their best interest.
This presentation will explicate the application of the XAI-ED framework on an Adaptive Learning System designed by MOE Singapore, and uncover the “black box” in the system with an aim of providing suggestions for further iterations. Overall, the incorporation of XAI-ED into adaptive learning systems has enormous potential to improve the efficacy of education, by enabling personalized and transparent learning experiences for each individual student.
