Abstract

This position paper provides an overview of the most important practices in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) used in educational contexts, with a focus on the main platforms used for teaching (LMS) to support the development of a research work at Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Mozambique. To that end, definitions and descriptions of relevant terms, a brief historical overview of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and an overview of the common goals and practices of using computational methods in educational contexts are provided. The state of the art regarding the adaptation and use of Artificial Intelligence is presented and we discuss the potential benefits and the open challenges. The paper also presents the methodology and key steps which will be developed at UEM to achieve the research goals.
