Now AI can moderate chats in the classroom

5 min read

As AI becomes increasingly important in digital learning within schools, the need for its safe and responsible use grows as well. This increase has created the need for an AI moderation function that helps prevent inappropriate questions in the chat – for the safety and security of all students. 

We spoke to Ole Lidegran, Head of Development at Skolon, about the new feature in our AI tool, Skolup, and what it means for users. Read on to learn more.

Skolup is an AI tool specifically designed to make everyday life easier for teachers and students. With over ten customised features, Skolup’s AI technology is integrated into digital learning in a safe and user-friendly way.

Some of the features include generating questions for tests and exercises, an AI assistant to ask questions to, and a question generator that helps create a basis for, for example, an interrogation before a history exam. Skolup helps save time in the classroom and can be customised by subject, difficulty level, and grade.

– The tool is fully integrated with Skolup’s ecosystem, enabling easy access and ensuring that all data is handled in accordance with GDPR. By using Skolup, schools can streamline teaching and give both teachers and students the tools to benefit from AI in the classroom, explains Ole.

A selection of Skolup’s smart features – for students

  • Ask AI
    Ask your question and get an answer. Users can choose to have the answer summarised or explained in a way that will resonate with them, with the click of a button.
  • Creating questions
    Creating a quiz or exam filled with clever questions on your own is now a thing of the past. Our question generator provides a solid foundation for exercises, quizzes, and exams, making the process easier and more efficient.
  • Help with an assignment“What should I do?”, “How should I start?” or “I don’t understand.” Do you recognise yourself? These are some of the most common questions a teacher gets before starting a new assignment. Skolup lowers the thresholds and gives students support to get started quickly and easily in the classroom.

Smart features that are tailored for teachers (or maybe the substitute?)

  • Lesson inspiration
    Need a new angle on how to engage students during a lesson? Creativity flows as our generator gives you pedagogical tips and suggestions on how your chosen topic can be explored in a new way.
  • Substitute Emergency Room
    Mayday, the substitute needs help – and quickly!
    Phew, how lucky that the substitute emergency room is open 24/7 in Skolup. The emergency room will make suggestions for arrangements, tasks and group discussions, so that your substitute can tackle the lesson in the best way possible!

A solution for safer AI use in classrooms

Today, it’s like a jungle with the variety of AI tools on the market. However, not all tools are always adapted for teaching or necessarily school policies and guidelines. In a world where children and young people are finding it increasingly easier to search for and find information, the question must also be asked of schools what their responsibility is in this development. Is it reasonable that students, during school hours, should be able to use AI tools to search for harmful information or spread disinformation? With Skolup’s AI moderation function, these types of questions can be prevented – before they are even asked.

The feature uses a multi-layered system where both ChatGPT’s built-in moderation and a separate moderation API ensure that student interactions remain safe.

– This means that both the AI ​​and the external moderation tool work together to identify and block inappropriate content in real time. If a question violates predefined rules, it is stopped immediately, and the student receives a clear explanation as to why. No AI can be 100% safe, but we at Skolon do everything we can to ensure that our implementation is as safe as possible, says Ole.

AI moderation in Skolup can be seen as another asset in the toolbox for student protection and safe AI use in schools.

– With this AI solution, Skolup is taking an important step towards a safer digital school environment, where both students and teachers can use AI with confidence, concludes Ole.

Summary of the new feature:

Skolup launches an AI moderation feature to create a safer digital school environment. The feature prevents inappropriate questions from being submitted to the AI ​​bot through a multi-layered system of moderation tools. If a question violates predefined rules, it is immediately stopped and the student receives a warning with an explanation. With this solution, Skolup takes an important step towards safe and responsible use of AI in the classroom.
