Smart Training Framework and Assessment Strategies

The rapidly evolving landscape of technological advancements is significantly transforming the education sector. This integration of technology in the education sector has given rise to the edtech industry which is transforming as newer technologies are introduced. Training delivered to the learners, along with the assessment of the learners, are the fundamental components of the education sector. However, current methods of delivering training and assessing learners face numerous challenges, including skill shortage due to technology advancements, high costs, conducting complex training in high- risk environments. Similarly, assessment methods struggle with inflexible assessment strategies and limited personalized feedback to learners. Addressing these challenges in training and assessment, this study proposes a smart training and assessment framework (STAF) which leverages the benefits of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) based large language models (LLMs) which stand out as a monumental leap in reshaping the training and assessment sector. As part of this study, an AR based training module was created and delivered to students. A survey was conducted of these students to gain insights about the adaptability of AR based trainings and potential to improve these trainings. It is concluded that along with AR in education, AI and LLMs with prompt engineering strategies should be integrated in the education domain for better interactivity and enhanced student performance. Currently, limited research is conducted on integration of LLMs in AR environments for the education sector and this paper provides an in-depth exploration of the immense potential of the applications of LLMs within the realm of training and assessment for improved learner performance.
