How Olex.AI is breaking down barriers to AI adoption and transforming teaching.
We’ve talked recently about teacher pain points that are happening in the classroom right now and how Olex.AI can help to overcome them.
From engaging reluctant learners, reducing time spent on marking and assessments, and the time-consuming and sometimes subjective nature of moderation. But we know there are common barriers which can get in the way when it comes to schools adopting new tools to help teachers in the classroom. Barriers like
- the sheer number of EdTech products schools may already have
- a perceived need to learn a complicated new tool
- the question of data security and ethics of AI
- a fear of deskilling or ultimately replacing teachers
So, it’s timely to turn the conversation to how our powerful platform can address these concerns and help remove some of the barriers that may exist in the minds of decision makers in MATs and schools.
Olex.AI’s philosophy is that teachers remain in control and the centre of the classroom. It’s at the heart of everything we do.
Our powerful, generative AI platform has been developed directly with teachers to augment their work, reduce their workloads and transform their teaching by drastically cutting the time taken to mark and assess written work. Some of our schools are reporting up to 90% reduction in marking workload and increased wellbeing amongst staff.
Far from replacing teachers, this shortening of the traditional feedback and planning cycle from a week-long activity to an in-the-moment one, enables them to quickly focus in on specific individual and whole-class needs, so children can progress faster, cover topics sooner and spend longer on development areas.
Critically, teachers are not required to learn any AI or prompt engineering, they merely use a simple interface and receive all the power of Olex.AI at the press of a button. From assessment of handwritten work, to producing magical, AI generated images directly from students own descriptive language, it’s all a matter of ‘running Olex.AI’. There are no lengthy training modules or complicated systems to learn, making adoption and roll-out straightforward and swift.
And because data security and the ethics of AI are such fundamental subjects, we ensure that our data security systems, practices and protocols and sacrosanct, with every new team member trained from day one.
