ML-powered

ML feature for quizzes helps teachers to generate quizzes in seconds based on Wikipedia, Youtube, their own text, and materials from Britannica library.

ML recommendation engine proposes useful resources on the subject to students to improve their results.

“The objective of New Nordic Schools is to apply interactive methods of learning and promote students’ critical thinking with a non-standardized individual approach.

With the help of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, we’ll be figuring out how a student is studying and trying to improve this process for them with no need to ask questions to the teacher. For example, if the student finds some topic difficult, our system will manage to detect it and the ML recommendation engine will propose useful resources on the matter.

The teacher, in their turn, will enter our platform and have their lesson plans ready based on the year they teach and also receive a bunch of recommended materials.”

Excerpt from Helsinki Times article by Masnad Nehith, Technical Director at New Nordic Schools

You know, it’s not that easy to find specialists capable of implementing all AI and ML stuff. [...] Ironically enough, most only speak of them but don’t develop actual AI/ML-based solutions. That’s why I find Anadea’s work really impressive.

Technical Director at New Nordic Schools
