On Bytes of Ingenuity, we’re interested in people who’re working with digital technologies to complement humans. Who’re developing forms of AI to improve worker productivity, augment human capabilities, and to provide better, more usable information for decision making.

This episode’s guests are doing just that within education. Joining us are Paul Barakat Diab and Elie Nahas, co-founders of the e-learning company Augmental. The learning platform they’ve developed turns traditional teacher-centric models of education on their head, using AI to personalise students’ learning paths. By tailoring course material to each student’s abilities and learning stye, this adaptive learning model helps students stay engaged and achieve better results. In this episode we discuss how personalisation enhances learning outcomes, how AI ed-tech platforms help teachers, and the need for holistic change within public education. We also learn about the story of Augmental and how the company has navigated Lebanon’s financial collapse and grown.
