Abstract
This chapter looks at the advances in learning technology to stimulate deeper learning in students. These include the use of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing, pattern and speech recognition, and robotics. AI can monitor class performance, provide personalized learning support to students, and create an immersive learning experience through the use of virtual or augmented reality. Augmented and virtual reality are useful in helping students understand situations which are difficult to visualise. Virtual reality (VR) can assist students to practice without physical limitations.
