HMH Classcraft™, an adaptive learning company, has introduced a new AI Summarization tool that allows teachers to quickly assess student comprehension and adjust instruction accordingly. This tool, powered by generative AI, analyzes open text responses from students working in small groups or individually, providing educators with a summary of student performance and feedback recommendations.
Using proven instructional strategies like “turn and talk,” teachers can facilitate peer-to-peer discussions in the classroom. With Classcraft, students can submit written comments during these discussions, which are then summarized by the AI tool and shared with the educator. This functionality gives teachers insight into student conversations and allows them to identify key themes and concepts in real-time.
For example, during a discussion about natural wonders of the world, the tool may summarize student comments into key points such as students displaying creativity and personal engagement with the topic, understanding the uniqueness of natural wonders, and struggling to grasp the broader significance of these places.
These summaries enable educators to provide personalized support and increase student engagement during whole class instruction. The AI Summarization tool aims to address the challenges teachers face in whole-class instruction, saving time and improving student engagement.
HMH is committed to offering tools that address the needs of educators and enhance the teaching and learning experience. Classcraft combines AI models, pedagogical expertise, and teacher feedback to deliver immersive and dynamic learning experiences. Schools and districts across the US have reported initial successes and great potential with Classcraft and the AI Summarization tool.
