Study Overview

Leanlab is seeking 6-8 educators from grades 6-12 to participate in a 6-8 week long study during April-June 2024 to help develop a new tool for creating interactive lessons using generative AI.

Participants must be able to:

use Kyron Studio (tool for creating interactive lessons using generative AI)

generate at least one lesson to use with students

provide written feedback on using the tool
collect feedback from students
participate in focus groups

Participating educators will be given a $500 stipend for their participation. All activities must be completed in order to receive full compensation.

Edtech Tool Description

The purpose of this tool is to empower educators to easily build interactive video lessons that feel like 1:1 tutoring. These lessons can be created anytime, anywhere, and in just minutes. Teachers start by dictating a lesson title, audience, and objective. Once the lesson is generated, they can edit any of the content - including modifying or replacing visuals to engage their learners - giving teachers control over the material and pedagogical approach. As students take the lesson, the AI assistant provides immediate and differentiated support to guide students towards conceptual understanding of the objectives.
