We are about to start a pilot using this technology in one of our schools and already we're really excited about its potential. The accurate handwriting recognition software makes the upload process extremely straightforward. The translation option offers parents of EAL children the opportunity to really engage in detail with their children's work and teacher feedback, which is really important to us. We think our students will also really enjoy and value the colourful artwork which accompanies the helpful feedback.
Heather found Olex.AI:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“It has the potential to help teachers mark more efficiently and effectively.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Large amounts of written work can be processed quickly and quality feedback can be offered to year groups that are often over-looked as they do not face external examinations.”
- Moderately improves teacher wellbeing“When used well, it has the potential to help teachers feel a great deal of satisfaction in their role and in their enhanced interaction with parents.”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“The feedback can be very precise, so allowing students to really reflect on ways they need to improve their work.”

I have really enjoyed using Olex, as have my students who enjoyed the bespoke nature of the programme
Donna found Olex.AI:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Students were given more detailed quality feedback more frequently”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Students in some instances had feedback before the end of the lesson”
- Significantly improves teacher wellbeing“Reducing workload”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“The feedback given was specific and identified for students not only gaps in their knowledge but also concrete examples of how to address them.”

This is a fantastic tool that gets the children excited about what they are writing. They love the image generation. As a teacher, this is a clear way to see what children have done well individually and as a whole class. The challenge now will be encouraging other memebers of staff to use this alongside their teaching.
Laura Finlay-Maxwell found Olex.AI:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“The whole class marking feature is a fantastic way to summarise what the class as a whole need to work on. Individual feedback is great but our marking policy foucuses on whole class feedback.”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency
- Moderately improves teacher wellbeing“Saves time once the children are in the routine of using it and how it works.”
- Slightly builds student knowledge

OlexAI has brought so much joy, inspiration and colour to my teaching and the pupils' learning. I have so appreciated its help with the my marking load. The marking is so much more in depth than I could possibly sustain on a regular basis due to the many demands on my time in the modern teaching world.
Raph de Albuquerque found Olex.AI:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“OlexAI helps me enormously during the working week as I tend to set a writing task on SchoolOnline once per week and the time that I spend on marking that specific piece of work is reduced by perhaps 90%. Instead I read through the pupil's work and then the feedback given by OlexAI and I might make the odd personalised tweak to the wording to give it the human touch and I might add one of my own targets at the end but otherwise the whole marking process is brought down to a much more manageable level and my job is more enjoyable as a result.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Our Year 6 pupils are trialling using personal devices (laptops) in the classroom. They quickly got accustomed to using SchoolOnline and can easily navigate to find the task that has been set. SchoolOnline has helped make my pupils more independent, which allows me more time to deal with specific questions from individuals and give one to one help and guidance. OlexAI takes some of the weight off me and helps me be a better teacher. I love using the AI and so I particularly look forward to the lessons when the children are receiving their feedback from Olex or browsing their Imaginator images. The AI has brought a real buzz to my lessons.”
- Significantly improves teacher wellbeing“Firstly, the pupils are enjoying the learning so much more and this gives me greater job satisfaction. Secondly, I can feel like the pupils have received incredibly detailed, specific feedback on their work and are able to develop their skills as a result. I know they are making even better progress. Thirdly, I spend less time marking and can spend more time on the other many jobs that a teacher has to juggle (such as pastoral care).”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“My pupils can not wait to get their assignments back from OlexAI and will sometimes nag me to get the work back to them. They are so much more engaged with the learning as they love the modernity of using AI, the practicality of typing and the colourful feedback of the Imaginator. My pupils are writing (typing) so much more than they were before. They can access the specific feedback and targets set my Olex and I and work to address them in future writing sessions.”

School Online is an amazing resource! It has transformed teaching and learning and more importantly, has improved outcomes and opportunities for our pupils.
Graham Macaulay found SchoolOnline:
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Through our use of SchoolOnline, we have been able to transform our teaching whilst also reducing teacher workload. Staff are able to easily select resources and content and align this to their teaching, due to the content being high quality they don't need to spend excessive time quality assuring the content.”
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“As SchoolOnline is available to all of our pupils, children are able to access the resource anywhere, anytime and on any device. This has resulted in our children using the tool in their own time, to help them overcome difficulties and reduce the attainment gaps.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Teachers are able to spend less time selecting resources and planning time and indeed, teacher time as the resources on school online can not only reduce planning time but also speed up the delivery of in person teaching. This enables the lesson pace to increase, resulting in more time to provide further challenge.”
- Significantly improves attainment“Through saving time planning and teaching, teachers are able to ensure lesson delivery is fully aligned to the individual needs of children in the class. This has resulted in an increase in attainment and better outcomes for our children.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Whilst School Online is used brilliantly in teaching, it is also accessible at home and this has really helped improve our children's knowledge. They are able to access the resource and develop their understanding and knowledge beyond the content covered in class teaching.”
Feb 2021
Having used a range of resources in the past to set home learning, develop intervention resources and give something for students to revise and refine skills, SchoolsOnline is definitely the best resource I’ve used in this respect. The video content, subsequent questions and monitoring all help to continually aid the pupil in achieving what they can at the end of KS2.
Ben Thomas found SchoolExams.co.uk:
- Significantly improves attainment“Allowing children to revise and recap skills and methods taught at school is invaluable.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Children are able to go at their own pace when revising and revisiting specific methods.”
- Moderately reduces attainment gap“We use the package as both an intervention but can also set children home learning which is very much in line with what we have done in school.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“It allows our intervention teachers to set meaningful and purposeful content for our pupils.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“In terms of home learning, yes, as the product allows for ease of use when setting tasks for independent learning at home.”
Oct 2020
Score based on my professional evaluation of the quality of content, the impact on test scores of using SchoolExams, and on feedback from students.
Dave Wilson found SchoolExams.co.uk:
- Significantly improves attainment“We ran a studenttrial over Summer, comparing results on a pre trial paper with those on a post trial paper. There was a 21% increase in marks on average for participants.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“Better recall of mathematical facts. Improved problem solving skills.”
- Moderately reduces attainment gap“We had pupil premium students who made significant progress over the course of the trial. Gap is diminishing in the class concerned.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Teachers can set work on School Exams and be confident that the explanations given in the videos are of a high quality, going into sufficient depth to develop understanding. The focus on selected topics/exam questions ensures that revision is targeted, time-efficient and personalised.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Students can self mark attempts at exam questions, and fully comprehend where marks are awarded. Facilitates independent learning.”
Oct 2020
It is just a wonderful product that is: cost effective; simple to use; and will make a difference to children's learning.
David Page found SchoolExams.co.uk:
- Significantly improves attainment“After using product for a term, children improved on average by 4 points on the average point scores in Mathematics. They are more confident in answering reading questions and have a better idea on how to plan and what to include in their writing.”
- Significantly builds student knowledge“It gives an excellent way for children to consolidate skills learnt in school and to become more fluent and efficient with new concepts.”
- Significantly reduces attainment gap“We have used the product with pupil premium children and SEN children and it has helped to close the gap. Especially when there is limited support or engagement from home.”
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“Study plans are already provided by their team of educational panellists so we has teachers can just press and go if needed.”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“School exams can be self marking and reports generated that save teachers time. Study guards are already there for the children or you can create your own.”
