Trystan Williams found Olex.AI:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“Olex.AI provides detailed and personalised responses to student work, allowing teachers to provide meaningful feedback without spending excessive time reviewing each piece of writing manually. Additionally, tools like OCR scanning and speech-to-text functionality streamline the process of collecting and reviewing student work, especially for SEND students who may find traditional writing tasks challenging. This reduction in marking time has freed up teachers to focus on lesson planning, student support, and overall classroom management, significantly lightening the workload and creating more space for creative teaching strategies.”
• Significantly improves teaching efficiency“Improve Teaching Efficiency: Incorporating Olex.AI and Imaginator into the teaching routine at Venturers’ Academy has significantly improved efficiency. The platform’s features, such as OCR scanning and speech-to-text functionality, reduce the cognitive load on students, enabling them to focus on expressing their thoughts more effectively. This not only enhances student engagement but also cuts down on the time teachers spend deciphering and marking handwritten assignments. The Imaginator, in particular, has encouraged peer engagement by allowing students to visualise their stories, leading to greater involvement in each other's work. With fewer manual tasks and more engaging activities in the classroom, teachers can manage their time better and dedicate more of it to instructional support and individual student development.”
• Significantly improves teacher wellbeing“Improve Teacher Wellbeing: Olex.AI has made teaching far more enjoyable and less stressful by reducing the workload related to giving detailed feedback. The platform’s ability to generate personalised, high-quality feedback for each student has freed up a significant amount of time that would have otherwise been spent on marking. The Imaginator tool, which brings students’ writing to life through AI-generated visuals, has helped foster a more dynamic and engaging classroom environment, making the teaching experience more rewarding. Our teachers can now focus more on direct instruction and student interaction rather than administrative tasks, making their work less stressful and more rewarding.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“Build Student Knowledge: Olex.AI has greatly supported our students at Venturers' Academy. The feedback is both personalised and actionable, which is particularly important for our students. By offering praise for effective use of adjectives or engaging descriptions, while also suggesting improvements like using full sentences or stronger verbs, students can clearly understand their strengths and areas for growth. The AI-generated images from the Imaginator tool also added an interactive element, engaging even reluctant writers and encouraging them to expand their ideas further. Furthermore, the team at Olex.AI has been fantastic to work with, consistently taking on board our feedback and adapting the platform to better serve our students. We’re also excited about the upcoming SEND-specialist AI tools, which promise to provide even more tailored support for our learners.”
