In this series "The Connected World: A Journey Through Computer Networks", we are about to embark on an incredible journey through the fundamentals of computer networks, exploring their evolution from the first generation to the future of 6G networks.

Today we've reached the conclusion of our special series, "How AI Is Transforming Education." We've explored personalized learning, automated feedback, accessibility, and more. For our final installment, we're looking at how AI is reshaping our very concept of qualifications and careers. For generations, educational achievement was defined by long-term credentials like diplomas and degrees. But in today's fast-paced, technologically driven economy, employers increasingly seek specific, verifiable skills. This has led to the rise of skill-based micro-credentials, and AI is becoming the engine for this new, modular approach to lifelong learning. Let's explore how AI is powering this new currency of skills.

Today we're continuing our series, "How AI Is Transforming Education." We're focusing on a powerful application that targets one of the most persistent and demanding challenges for educators everywhere: the monumental task of assessment. The hours spent grading assignments, exams, and essays create a huge workload for teachers and often delay the delivery of crucial feedback to students. Today, propelled by huge advances in Natural Language Processing and machine learning, we're seeing the rise of AI-powered automated grading and feedback systems that promise to revolutionize this process. The goal isn't to replace teachers, but to free them to focus on high-impact instruction and meaningful student engagement. Let's explore how AI is automating grading, the technologies at work, the benefits, and the critical limitations of entrusting assessment to an algorithm.
