Edtech is a vast, rapidly evolving landscape and with that comes the challenge of balancing innovation with both security and accessibility. This means that the technology must be both easy and safe to use – and that’s where Skolon’s responsibly developed AI digital tool, Skolup, comes in.

Here’s why Skolup is the solution 

Packed with AI tools that have been built by teachers, for teachers, Skolup offers a secure, GDPR compliant environment that’s perfect for educators looking for new ways to deliver lessons, or for pupils wanting extra support to enhance their learning.

With a core focus on saving time and enriching classrooms, Skolup’s evolution now includes new, AI-powered image tools. These new tools will enable teachers and pupils to create, interpret and use images in ways that enhance the understanding and retention of knowledge.

Analyse images

One of the most exciting additions to Skolup is the functionality that allows users to upload their own images and have AI assist with interpreting them. Whether it’s a picture of a person to help analyse body language, a complex maths problem, or even a handwritten note you’d like converted to text, Skolup’s AI can handle it. Users can also ask the AI to describe images, offering pupils alternative perspectives and a chance to enhance their learning experience without even knowing it.

Create images

Skolup’s new AI image generator, powered by advanced text-to-image models, (DALL-E 2 +3) enables users to create images by simply providing instructions. 

Whether visuals are needed for a presentation, or to explain complex concepts, the Skolup AI tool can bring ideas to life with ease. By turning simple instructions into detailed visuals, it offers a creative and intuitive way to support teaching, making lessons more engaging and interactive for both teachers and pupils.

This is also a great opportunity to introduce AI to children safely and help them to learn the right way to write prompts to get what it is that they want, because AI can be tricky to get right. Teaching children how to craft effective prompts helps them understand how to communicate clearly with AI, refine their critical thinking, and avoid frustration when the results don’t match their expectations.

How do Skolup’s new AI tools benefit teachers?

With teachers often having more responsibilities than time to complete them, such as lesson planning and managing classroom dynamics, our tools have been designed to actually take some of that heat off by helping with:

  • Adapting lessons to help pupils with different and additional needs
  • Creating visually engaging content
  • Quick solutions, such as emergency lesson plans and quiz questions in instances where a substitute teacher may be required.

With AI helping out with these tasks, teachers can focus more on engaging with pupils and less on the administrative work that comes with being an educator.

Skolup’s new AI tools also benefit pupil safely

For pupils, Skolup offers practical AI tools to help them thrive, including:

  • Receiving simplified explanations of complex topics based on the way they ask the question
  • Summaries of texts tailored to their age and learning needs
  • Access to visual aids that can make difficult subjects easier to understand

Skolup empowers pupils to engage with learning materials in a way that suits them best, whether through text or images, all from one safe and secure platform. As Skolup’s AI tools are built with safety in mind. Our tools are fully GDPR-compliant, ensuring that no personal data is shared with third parties. Additionally, any text or data entered into Skolup is never used to train the AI, guaranteeing that your information stays private and secure.
