Ministers have handed Oak National Academy another £2 million as part of a pledge to provide every teacher with a personalised artificial intelligence (AI) lesson-planning assistant.
The new cash will help the online school expand its AI-powered quiz builder and lesson planner for use of all teachers after a recent pilot.
Edtech companies experimenting with AI will also have free access to Oak’s lessons, allowing them to “innovate and create their own products”.
Oak’s interim chief executive Matt Hood said “we believe we can supercharge” workload reduction “by harnessing safe AI – giving teachers even more scope to adapt their resources and freeing them up to spend more time directly with their pupils.”
