Improving reading skills for practical assignments

Practical exams require students to translate an instruction into a set of actions, which leads to mistakes. The cause of these mistakes can be found in shortcomings in vocabulary, trouble with language comprehension, or difficulties in translating language into concrete actions.  

This projects charts the various skills via a data-driven AI algorithm. This algorithm can then be used to establish which skills need attention the most for individual students. Furthermore, the system can provide tailormade training or advise the teacher about training. This can take the shape of vocabulary training, but it can also be focussed on the translation of language into actions. 

NOLAI is the national education lab AI for primary, secondary, and special education in the Netherlands, funded by the National Growth Fund. €80 million has been awarded for the period of 2022 to 2032 in order to develop prototypes and gather knowledge about AI in education together with schools, corporations, and scientists over the span of ten years. Each academic year, around ten new projects are launched all across the Netherlands. A project takes three years on average.
