Artificial intelligence-enabled teaching technology that could help schools and colleges adapt lessons will be trialled in the North East.
E-spaces' platform was founded by former teacher Yvonne Buluma Samba and uses data to automatically assess, personalise and adapt lessons to enable immediate intervention and prediction of grades in the classroom. Thanks to a grant from Innovate UK EDGE, the firm has partnered with Digital Catapult North East Tees Valley to test the software in schools and colleges across the region, including Gateshead College.
The edtech firm has secured a Research and Technology Organisation grant designed for not-for-profit organisations that deal with the development of science and technology and can incorporate laboratories, factories and offices. As part of the funding, e-spaces will get support in testing new ideas and advice on regulatory processes.
