Creating and Delivering Lessons

Creating Documents with AI

Create immediately usable teaching materials from a free assignment or school template. AI-School helps teachers transform loose ideas, learning objectives, or existing texts into materials that can be used in the classroom. This can be small, like a lesson starter, but also larger, such as a full lesson plan, worksheet, test, parent letter, or presentation in the school's style.

  • Create lesson plans with introduction, core, processing, and conclusion
  • Generate worksheets, tests, summaries, glossaries, and sample answers
  • Shorten, expand, or adapt existing lessons for a different audience
  • Use Word templates for fixed formats from the school or board
  • Include SLO learning objectives, core objectives, and curriculum links in the content
  • Export to Word, PDF, or PowerPoint for immediate use or further editing

Examples from Educational Practice

A teacher converts a chapter into a worksheet with explanations, practice questions, and a short closing reflection question.

A 50-minute lesson is shortened to 30 minutes, retaining the main learning objective.

A parent letter, report, or lesson plan is created directly in a fixed school layout with the appropriate tone.

For a new topic, a teacher prepares learning objectives, glossary, lesson starter, and exit ticket all at once.

Creating and Delivering Lessons

Creating Lessons and Monitoring Students

Teachers can set up an AI lesson in advance so that students don’t start blank in a general chat but work within clear boundaries. You determine the topic, the first assignment, the model, and the instructions. During the lesson, it remains visible how students are working with AI, allowing you to quickly see who is stuck, who needs deeper understanding, and where whole-class discussion is useful.

  • Set up Teacherbot or lesson chat in advance with a starting prompt and clear AI role
  • Pre-set model, first prompt, and system prompt for the lesson
  • Monitor students live while they work with AI
  • Use lesson groups and let students start easily with anonymous login codes
  • Organize independent explanations, control questions, and follow-up steps in a lesson path

Examples from Educational Practice

A teacher lets students work independently through an explanation route with short control questions at each step.

Students who give an incorrect answer receive extra explanation and a new practice question at the same level.

During the lesson, the teacher sees the chat history and can more quickly assess where guidance is needed.

A temporary lesson chat is set up for a class group without students needing to choose any settings themselves.

Creating and delivering lessons

Assistants for recurring educational tasks

Assistants make recurring work easier and more consistent. You can create an assistant for a subject, school task, target group, or method. This way, a teacher or staff member doesn’t have to come up with the right prompt every time. Workflow assistants go a step further: they guide someone through fixed steps, for example from topic to sources, from sources to report, or from learning goal to teaching material.

  • Assistants with custom instructions, files, tone, and settings
  • Share assistants with colleagues, groups, or via a code
  • Use workflow steps for fixed educational or organizational routes
  • Include triage, approval, and follow-up steps in a process
  • Record outcomes so materials, choices, and feedback are preserved

Examples from Educational Practice

A department creates an assistant that comes up with teaching methods for each new chapter.

A language team uses a speaking assistant for role plays in English, French, German, or Spanish.

A workflow helps students step-by-step with research: exploring the topic, creating subquestions, finding sources, and summarizing.

A staff member uses a fixed assistant for parent communication to keep the tone professional and school-specific.

Learning, practicing, and feedback

Practice questions, tests, and feedback

Use AI-School to create practice questions, quizzes, formative checks, and feedback texts faster. This helps teachers with preparation and grading, but also supports students in practicing independently. The strength lies not only in creating questions but especially in quickly varying them: simpler, harder, by learning goal, with example answers, or with reflection questions.

  • Generate open and closed questions, quizzes, and practice tests
  • Create questions by learning goal, chapter, text, or level
  • Have basic, average, and advanced assignments made side by side
  • Prepare example answers and simple feedback criteria
  • Formulating feedback sentences that are clear, consistent, and neat
  • Using AI content detection as a starting point for discussions about responsible AI use

Examples from Educational Practice

A teacher creates three versions of the same assignment: support, standard, and advanced.

Students create a self-quiz to prepare for a test.

For an open question, an example answer and a brief feedback suggestion are generated immediately.

After a test, students receive reflection questions to better analyze their mistakes.

Research and resources

Using current sources and educational data

AI-School can retrieve information from internet sources, educational resources, and calculation tools. This is important when a lesson or assignment is not only about language but also about current facts, subject content, sources, images, calculations, or curriculum goals. Teachers use this for lesson preparation and enrichment; students can learn to research without immediately getting lost outside the school environment.

Web and current events

Search for current information and include sources in the answer, for example with news, social issues, or recent developments in a subject area.

  • Internet search
  • Chat with internet sources
  • OpenAI, Claude and Gemini native web tools
  • Web retrieval with Claude
More about internet sources
Educational resources

Use sources that directly connect to educational content, such as open teaching materials, encyclopedic information, and Dutch learning objectives.

  • Wikiwijs search
  • Search SLO
  • Search Wikipedia
Analysis and calculations

Let AI calculate, analyze or execute code where relevant to the question, for example in STEM subjects, graphs, tables or datasets.

  • Wolfram Alpha
  • Code Interpreter
  • Google native tools
  • Execute code with Claude
Image, media and location

Create or find visual support and use location data when needed, for example for presentations, geography, projects or field trips.

  • Create images
  • Text to image
  • Search images
  • Google Places
  • Google Routes
  • Request weather

Examples from Educational Practice

A teacher links a lesson to a recent event and has sources collected for a class discussion.

A student researches a topic through fixed steps: searching for initial information, creating sub-questions, organizing sources, and drafting a report.

In exact sciences, a calculation, formula, or graph is checked with Wolfram Alpha or code execution.

For a lesson, a teacher searches for Wikiwijs material, SLO goals, and a suitable image as a starting point.

Documents and files

Chat, create and work with files

Much educational work doesn’t start in a blank chat, but in existing documents: a chapter, policy document, test, schedule, student text, CSV or Excel overview, or folder with files. AI-School can read, summarize, query, rewrite and convert documents into useful output. This way, information from school documents remains the starting point, while AI helps you reach a workable product faster.

  • Chat with uploaded documents and ask questions about the content
  • Process and compare multiple files separately
  • Create, rewrite and format Word documents for school
  • Generate, summarize or use PDFs as a source
  • Analyze CSV and Excel files or use them as a source for schedules and overviews
  • Access and use files from Google Drive, SharePoint, local folders or the desktop app
  • Work via web app, mobile app, or desktop app depending on device and situation

Examples from Educational Practice

An employee uploads a policy document and has a brief summary, action points, and parent-friendly explanation created.

A teacher converts a chapter into a worksheet, glossary, and test questions.

A schedule in Excel or CSV is analyzed, after which AI helps identify bottlenecks or missing information.

Using the desktop app, an employee works with local Word, PDF, and Excel files without having to copy everything manually first.

Documents and files

Knowledge base and documentation

AI-School is not just a place to generate answers. You want to be able to save, improve, and retrieve good elaborations, lesson plans, feedback, sources, and school agreements. With documentation and knowledge base features, AI output becomes part of the workflow instead of a separate chat answer that gets lost later.

  • Manage knowledge base items and make them available to staff or students
  • Document information as editable documents or reusable notes
  • Track changes during editing and improvement
  • Retrieve lesson plans, model answers, elaborations, and sources
  • Save feedback, agreements, and good examples for later use
  • Reuse useful knowledge within the school environment

Examples from Educational Practice

A teacher saves a good model elaboration so it can be reused later for a similar assignment.

A team documents fixed agreements about feedback, assessment criteria, or AI usage in the knowledge base.

A lesson plan created with AI is later adjusted, with changes remaining visible.

Sources and elaborations from research are saved as a basis for the next lesson or presentation.

Speaking and listening

Speech chat, transcription, and audio

Not everyone prefers working by typing. With speech and audio, AI-School becomes more accessible and useful for language education, presentations, interviews, meetings, and students who think more easily out loud. You can speak with AI, have audio transcribed, use audio or video files as sources, and convert text into listening material.

  • Use speech chat for conversations, language training, role plays, and oral practice
  • Have students ask and answer questions out loud
  • Create transcripts with automatic speaker recognition
  • Use audio and video files via file processing as a source for summaries or action points
  • Convert text to audio for explanations, scripts, read-aloud texts, and listening materials
  • Develop ideas orally without having to type everything first

Examples from Educational Practice

A student practices a shop conversation, job interview, or oral exam in a foreign language.

A teacher records ideas for a presentation and lets AI turn them into talking points.

A meeting or interview is transcribed and converted into a summary and action points.

A text is converted to audio so students can listen instead of just reading.

Management and organization

Integrate with Google, Microsoft, and other systems

Integrations ensure that AI-School better connects with the systems schools already use. Think of calendars, email, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, SLO goals, or custom systems. This reduces the need for manual copying of information and allows staff to use AI within their regular work context.

Google

Use information from Google services within the chat, for example to find files, retrieve appointments, or process email information.

  • Google Calendar
  • Gmail
  • Google Drive
Microsoft

Let AI work with Microsoft 365 context, such as Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint documents.

  • Outlook Calendar
  • Outlook Mail
  • Microsoft Teams
  • SharePoint
Education and Custom Systems

Connect educational resources or custom applications via MCP, so school processes better align with AI-School.

  • SLO Learning Objectives
  • Zapier MCP Server
  • Custom MCP Server

Examples from Educational Practice

A staff member searches for files in Drive or SharePoint and has AI create a summary or draft text from them.

A teacher uses SLO Learning Goals as a content basis for a lesson, test, or project.

A team organizes and summarizes recurring information from email, calendar, or Teams more quickly.

A school connects its own systems or Zapier workflows to make information from fixed processes more accessible.

Management and administrators gain insight into usage, chat messages, costs, and technical reporting.

Management and organization

Coding with controlled AI access

For computer science, engineering, and development work, programming tools can operate via AI-School with controlled API keys. This allows students, teachers, or technical staff to use modern AI coding tools while the organization maintains control over budget, validity, models, and access.

  • OpenAI-compatible API for Aider, OpenCode, and other coding tools
  • Budget, validity period, and allowed models per key
  • Code Interpreter and native code tools with suitable models
  • Local AI models via Ollama in the desktop app

Examples from Educational Practice
