An AI-based environment where learning materials are tied to the learning goals from the mathematics curriculum and in which learning achievements for those learning goals are monitored.

Key question
How can AI provide insights into whether learning goals are addressed when teachers use learning materials outside of the regular learning methods? And, does this allow students to master the required learning goals?
Teachers in secondary education use external resources next to the standard learning methods during their mathematics classes. They would like to have the opportunity to use different – sometimes self-developed – learning materials and thus arrange their classes in their own way. Students can, for instance, watch online instruction videos or they can use practise environments. This does raise some questions. Are all learning goals being addressed when you deviate from the standardised path? An AI application structures learning goals and connects them to the learning materials. It also keeps track of a student model in which both student and teacher can see to what extent a student has mastered the learning goals.
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.
