Abstract: Education is the cornerstone of national development and national rejuvenation.However,the traditional education model has many limitations in teaching methods,resource allocation and evaluation systems,such as monotonous teaching me-thods,unbalanced educational resources and one-sided evaluation methods.With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology,multimodal technology,as an emerging technology that integrates multiple data forms(such as images,sounds,and texts),provides new possibilities for solving these problems.Through applications such as smart classrooms and personalized learning systems,multimodal technology can comprehensively perceive and understand the learning environment,thereby breaking the limitations of the traditional education model,enhancing the learning experience,promoting educational equity and achieving personalized learning evaluation.Firstly,this paper outlines the definition,connotation and core algorithms of multimodal techno-logy,and explores its development trajectory and important position in the field of artificial intelligence.Secondly,this paper analyzes the application advantages of multimodal technology in the field of education in detail from multiple dimensions,and conducts in-depth discussions based on specific cases.Finally,this paper discusses the challenges faced by multimodal technology in educational applications,such as data privacy,technical costs and ethical issues.Through in-depth research on the applications and challenges of multimodal technology in education,this paper aims to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for educatio-nal innovation,and promote the development of education towards a more intelligent,personalized and equitable direction.

Key words: Multimodal technology, Educational innovation, Application advantages, Challenges
