Leading K-12 Curriculum Solutions Provider
Uses AI to Empower Teachers and Enhance Education
TEMPE,
Ariz., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine
Learning, the largest provider of digital curriculum solutions in
the U.S., serving 15 million students in more than half the school
districts nationwide, today announced a newly developed AI tool
within the Imagine EdgeEX curriculum offering, available in beta to
all current customers. Imagine EdgeEX is the next generation of
Imagine Edgenuity, designed to engage students and to help teachers
streamline their work with actionable data and easy-to-use,
customizable tools, an easy-to-navigate dashboard, and accessible
features.
Imagine EdgeEX's new AI Grading Assistant for writing provides
teachers with actionable, context-specific feedback on submitted
writing activities. The feature evaluates student writing,
providing suggestions on clarity of thought, alignment to the
learning objective, quality of writing, and more. This innovation
saves educators time and significantly scales their impact,
allowing them to devote more time to meaningful interactions with
students. This tool will soon be complemented by additional
AI-powered tools to help learners and teachers work more
effectively and efficiently. Amid the shifts in education with the
advent of generative AI, ongoing teacher shortages, and hurdles
those in the profession face daily, there is a critical need to
make teachers' lives easier.
"At Imagine Learning, our priority has always been to create
innovative, digital-first solutions that enhance the classroom
experience for teachers and learners," said Kinsey Rawe, Senior
Vice President and General Manager at Imagine Learning. "Teachers
are under so much pressure in today's educational landscape. In a
time where turnover and shortages continue to plague districts
across the nation, we're proud to launch Imagine EdgeEX's first AI
tool to not only lighten their workloads but also provide them with
the support and empowerment they need."
"When we set out to bring the power of generative AI to Imagine
EdgeEX, protecting our customers' data and privacy had to be our
top priority. That's why we intentionally designed our
short-writing feedback with a privacy-first architecture,
minimizing the data collected and shared, ensuring that our AI
partners cannot use students' submissions to train their models.
Our customers can enjoy the personalized, intelligent experiences
enabled by AI while having peace of mind that their data is fully
protected and used only in accordance with our strict privacy
policies," said Jason Fournier, Vice
President of AI Initiatives at Imagine Learning.
The new AI tool keeps the teacher in control while keeping
security and privacy at its core. Teachers have the freedom to
use, modify, or ignore the AI-suggested comments at their
discretion. Another important goal was to make it convenient, so
the tool is integrated into teachers' feedback workflow within
Imagine EdgeEX. Teachers can quickly choose, edit, or discard
feedback without copying and pasting or moving between
systems.
Along with Imagine Learning's previously announced AI
enhancements like the AI-tutoring assistant within Imagine Learning
Sessions and the acquisition of Cue Think, this latest development
reflects the company's ongoing commitment to integrating AI into
the education experience to enhance personalized learning and
educator support.
