WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.560 AILi is an early proof-of-concept prototype that demonstrates what an AI-enabled curriculum and instructional support tool could look like for Alberta classrooms. 00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:22.488 It is not a fully developed product, but rather an exploration of how educators might access curriculum content, instructional resources, and generate planning supports in one place. 00:00:22.488 --> 00:00:30.179 It brings together curriculum outcomes, programs of study, and learning and teaching resources from New LearnAlberta. 00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:39.370 It illustrates how educators could develop lesson plans, assessment tools, parent communications, and learning activities, all in one place. 00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.503 Support for educators is easier than ever with this platform. 00:00:43.503 --> 00:00:51.590 Teachers can use the search and navigation tools to quickly locate relevant curriculum content, supporting more efficient planning and instruction. 00:00:52.390 --> 00:00:58.243 Resources created through the platform are connected directly to Alberta curriculum outcomes. 00:00:58.243 --> 00:01:05.607 For example, lesson plans, assessments, and learning activities include links to the specific outcomes they support. 00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:14.670 By directly linking to curriculum, educators can verify alignment and make informed decisions about planning, assessment, and student learning. 00:01:15.470 --> 00:01:18.920 At the top of the platform, we built a starter set of tools. 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:28.293 Teachers can select one or more curriculum outcomes, choose a tool, and the platform produces resources designed to support planning, instruction, and assessment. 00:01:28.293 --> 00:01:36.918 Teachers can create lesson materials, assessments, marking guides, learning activities, discussion prompts, classroom games, and take-home resources. 00:01:36.918 --> 00:01:43.703 This initial set of tools is intended to support common classroom needs and reduce the time spent creating resources. 00:01:43.703 --> 00:01:54.340 As educators continue to use the platform and provide feedback, additional tools and features may be added or adapted to better support teaching and learning across Alberta classrooms. 00:01:55.140 --> 00:02:03.424 Beyond individual resource creation, teachers can also direct the tool to develop a full lesson package and get one back in under a minute. 00:02:03.424 --> 00:02:15.761 The teacher describes what they want, selects a grade, and the platform will create a package of resources, that may include lesson plans, vocabulary supports, learning activities, and assessment materials. 00:02:15.761 --> 00:02:23.330 Educators can review, adapt, and use these resources in ways that best meet the needs of their students and classroom context. 00:02:24.130 --> 00:02:30.844 The platform also supports the creation of individualized resources that reflect the diverse needs of Alberta students. 00:02:30.844 --> 00:02:42.185 Educators can provide a brief profile of the student, for example, the student's grade, the topics that interest them, where they may need additional support, or the language the student uses at home. 00:02:42.185 --> 00:02:52.680 The resulting resources weave in the student's profile throughout, supporting meaningful student learning while enabling them to continue working toward Alberta curriculum expectations. 00:02:53.480 --> 00:03:03.685 Learning materials can be available in audio format to support early readers, multilingual learners, and students who benefit from listening to content as they learn. 00:03:03.685 --> 00:03:12.783 Resources can also be translated into other languages, helping educators and families access and engage with curriculum-aligned learning materials. 00:03:12.783 --> 00:03:25.140 In bilingual, French immersion, and multilingual learning environments, translated resources can support communication and learning while maintaining a clear connection to Alberta curriculum outcomes. 00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:30.596 Supporting curriculum alignment is a foundational principle of the platform. 00:03:30.596 --> 00:03:44.320 Resources are linked directly to Alberta curriculum outcomes, giving educators, school authorities, and education partners greater confidence in how instructional and assessment materials connect to curriculum expectations. 00:03:44.320 --> 00:03:56.450 This transparency allows users to review curriculum, verify alignment, and make informed decisions about teaching and learning resources, helping to support consistency across the education system. 00:03:57.250 --> 00:04:06.406 The platform is open source and provides a common foundation that school authorities can use to support local innovation and instructional priorities. 00:04:06.406 --> 00:04:17.026 Rather than starting from scratch, authorities can build tools, resources, and learning supports that reflect the unique needs of their students, educators, and communities. 00:04:17.026 --> 00:04:30.089 This approach supports consistency in curriculum implementation while creating opportunities for locally developed solutions in areas such as language learning, student supports, assessment, and family engagement. 00:04:30.089 --> 00:04:38.390 It also allows school authorities to maintain oversight of privacy, governance, and implementation decisions within their own contexts. 00:04:39.190 --> 00:04:41.951 The platform can be used in a variety of ways. 00:04:41.951 --> 00:04:49.515 Parents and families can better understand what their children are learning and access resources to support learning at home. 00:04:49.515 --> 00:04:57.858 Educators can find curriculum outcomes, create learning resources, support assessment, and plan instruction aligned to Alberta curriculum. 00:04:57.858 --> 00:05:03.501 Schools can support consistent planning and collaboration across classrooms and grade levels. 00:05:03.501 --> 00:05:14.125 School authorities can promote greater consistency in curriculum implementation, support professional learning, and provide educators with access to shared resources and tools. 00:05:14.125 --> 00:05:24.930 Alberta Education can gain insights into available curriculum resources, identify areas where additional supports may be needed, and inform future resource development priorities. 00:05:25.730 --> 00:05:32.156 As we wrap up, we look forward to seeing how AILi could support teaching and learning across Alberta. 00:05:32.156 --> 00:05:45.517 Recognizing the demands on educators' time, AILi is an early prototype that explores how a safe and curriculum-aligned AI-enabled tool could support planning, instruction, and assessment in Alberta classrooms. 00:05:45.517 --> 00:06:03.077 While not a fully developed tool, it demonstrates how planning, instruction, and assessment resources could be brought together in one place to help educators create lessons, activities, assessments, and marking guides tailored to diverse teaching contexts and learner needs. 00:06:03.077 --> 00:06:12.620 Thank you for taking the time to learn more about AILi and its potential to support teaching, learning, and curriculum implementation across Alberta.
