Skillbox launches AI assistant for teachers

2024: Launch of AI assistant for teachers

Skillbox Educational Holding launched artificial intelligence an online school teacher-based assistant. English Skillbox The company announced this on October 25, 2024.

The task of the project is to better adapt the training programs at the school to the goals of the student and increase the efficiency of the educational process. The AI assistant serves as a personal assistant for English teachers at all stages of the lesson and work with students. The main functions include assistance in preparing the lesson, conducting classes, assigning homework and checking it. During the lesson, the assistant helps the teacher to draw up a lesson plan, adapt it to the individual characteristics of the student and quickly respond to the needs of students.

The AI assistant takes into account the individual characteristics of each student, his personal interests, age, level of knowledge, wishes for a comfortable pace of learning and goal. The system forms student-specific exercises, making the learning process more focused and efficient. He remembers information about the student, analyzes it after each lesson and adjusts the training program based on the data obtained. Thus, the AI assistant helps teachers get rid of a large number of routine tasks.

At the end of each lesson, AI compiles a report that includes:

• the content and result of the lesson - the topics that were studied and the achievements of the student;
• dictionary - a list of words and phrases of the lesson with recommendations for their use;
• working on errors - a list of key errors to pay attention to;
• recommended materials - videos and other resources from the catalog to enhance knowledge.

A personalized training program eliminates those tasks that will not be effective for the student - the AI assistant analyzes the main errors and offers exercises that contribute to fixing the material. Under the supervision of teachers and with the help of materials generated by the neural network, students can take exercises, read articles, listen to podcasts, write texts and expand their vocabulary. At the end of the lesson, the student receives a report, which reflects the topics on which he worked with the teacher, as well as recommendations for studying new words and correcting errors. Thanks to this approach, students master materials faster and can achieve results in a shorter time frame.

In the future, the assistant will learn how to generate tasks for homework and independently check it, automatically compile a lesson report with a display of the main points of the lesson.

We see good results in the test application of the AI assistant and note an increase in satisfaction from the educational process from both students and teachers. Students note that they achieve their goals faster because the AI assistant offers the most appropriate exercises to develop language skills. For example, if a student wants to learn how to take speech by ear, the AI assistant will generate more listening exercises. Teachers unload themselves from routine tasks related to preparing for lessons, so they have more resources to work with students. Given the advantages of using an AI assistant, its integration into education becomes a brewing step that makes the educational process more comfortable for all its participants, "commented Dmitry Krutov, founder and CEO of Skillbox educational holding.
