OREM,
Utah, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilix Labs'
BusyBee intelligent learning companion stands at the forefront of a
new educational initiative featuring digital curriculum innovator
Bright Thinker and the educators of Texas Virtual Schools. This
forward-thinking collaboration is built on the foundation of Amazon
Bedrock, ensuring stability, security, and appropriate guardrails
against the inherent weaknesses of other generative AI
platforms.
The Future of Education & BusyBee Intelligent Learning
Companion
BusyBee leverages advanced AI capabilities in the education
space for a personalized, innovative learning experience that opens
new doors for students, parents, and educators. Powered by Buzz by
Agilix and Amazon Bedrock, BusyBee utilizes AI and analytics to
gauge learning comprehension, reinforce essential concepts,
identify learning gaps, deliver valuable insights, and assess
progress.
Combined with content by Bright Thinker, students and faculty at
Texas Virtual Schools are putting BusyBee to the test to see how it
improves learning outcomes for their students.
Built on AWS + Amazon Bedrock
AWS + Amazon Bedrock provide an essential foundation for the AI
capabilities of BusyBee. Guardrails can be customized to the needs
of educational institutions to keep students safe while ensuring
that unwanted and inappropriate content is filtered. Bedrock is
committed to AI security, accuracy, and transparency, making it
perfect for the academic world. Despite the benefits, schools can
be understandably apprehensive about letting AI into the equation,
but Amazon Bedrock mitigates those concerns.
Powered by Buzz and Agilix
Buzz is an LMS that countless schools have already embraced to
personalize learning pathways, support educators, and provide
data-driven insights. BusyBee takes this robust, feature-rich
learning platform and unlocks the potential of AI to enhance
everything that makes Buzz great. Buzz already makes it easy for
teachers to customize lessons and identify learning gaps—BusyBee
utilizes AI to automate certain personalization elements and take
efficacy to a whole new level.
With Curriculum Bolstered by Bright Thinker
Buzz gives schools new power over their curriculum, simplifying
the task of customizing it for individual classes or students.
BusyBee goes a step further by automating self-assessments,
comprehension quizzes, and valuable insights. Bright Thinker is a
leader in the curriculum publishing space. Their partnership with
Agilix gives schools the high-quality material to play with in Buzz
and provides BusyBee with the resources to present accurate,
compelling educational content to students.
Bright Thinker Executive Vice President of Operations
Lonnie Morgan isn't hesitant to find
new avenues for their curriculum to make a difference. "Buzz has
impressive capabilities that can take top-notch Bright Thinker
content, personalize it, and bring it in line with different
teaching styles. We expect BusyBee to make that process even more
dynamic."
Put to the Test with Texas Virtual Schools
Known for its willingness to innovate and adopt new approaches
that enhance learning outcomes, Texas Virtual Schools is the ideal
testing ground to partner with Agilix, Amazon Bedrock, and Bright
Thinker for the BusyBee pilot program. TXVS strives to provide K-12
students with an individualized experience while maintaining a
school environment, a goal that syncs beautifully with Buzz and
BusyBee's capabilities.
"We're always interested in technology that improves educational
opportunities for our students," says Dr. Lisa Collins, vice president of academics at
Stellar Virtual, TXVS's parent company. "We're eager to put BusyBee
to the test and find out whether it can boost retention and assist
the faculty."
Harnessing AI to Enhance Learning Outcomes
Agilix CEO Curt Allen is excited
about the pilot because he welcomes the spotlight on BusyBee. "We
built BusyBee to help improve student learning outcomes, empower
teachers to more efficiently customize their lessons based on the
needs of their students, give parents the tools they need to
support their children's educational journeys, and allow
administrators to guide the process with more transparency," said
Allen. "Through integrated curriculum and assessment solutions from
our world-class partners, Agilix is committed to helping every
learner accelerate their progress with accessible, fun, relevant
learning companions—no matter the curriculum, school type, and
learning model."
