Report Comment Matrix

Good afternoon human,

I hope you had an eggcellent Easter! This week is all about how GenAI can help teachers with writing reports.

Knowledge builders 📚

• Machine Learning (ML) → Often used as a synonym for AI, ML is a method for making predictions without a human coding predetermined rules. It does this thought analysing large data sets to find particular patterns and then construct a model. There are three common ML methods: supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement.

• Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) → ITS have been studied for well over forty years. The systems deploy knowledge tracing and machine learning (a subset of artificial intelligence) through a diagnostic quiz to find an ideal starting point within a domain. It then serves up the next piece of knowledge, usually through a video, that the person likely to be able to master based on what it knows about your mastery of a domain. ALEKS is an example of an ITS.

Fresh prompts ✨

Report Comment Matrix → This prompt gets the GenAI of your choice to create a range of general comments that can be used for reports. The power of this prompt is that it produces 9 comments across a mixture achievement and progress measurements. They are purposefully subject agnostic, but you can of course feel free to provide details of your subject for them to be subject specific if you like. There is no limit to the amount of additional detail you can add, and if you like the tone of a particular comment from the matrix, you can ask the GenAI for more that match to that space on the matrix.

You need to write some statements that could be used for school reports for children who go to school in England. Every year, schools must report back on the following, achievements and general progress The reports need to be in a professional and well written tone as the audience for them are the parents. The language should be positive. For example, instead of <example> Jonny constantly messes around in lessons </example> it should be <example> Jonny has worked hard on his focus, but can still find it difficult to participate in lessons.</example>.

Create a matrix using what needs to be reported. There needs to be three categories for each aspect that needs reporting - below achievement, median achievement, above achievement. This needs to be repeated for the other two. Create statements that could be used for all possible combinations. For example, someone who has median acheivement but above progress. Leave space for proper nouns.

Industry updates 🤖

• Introducing Udio → Udio is a new text-to-music generative AI product similar to Suno. Feel free to sign up and give it prompt about a topic and a genre of music and enjoy the creation.

• More Pupils are turning to GenAI for school work → According to the popular teacher polling app, TeacherTapp, teachers suspect that more pupils than ever are turning to these tools to help them in their work.
