Agilix Labs, a pioneer in educational technology, announced a partnership with SchoolsPLP to integrate BusyBee, its advanced AI teaching assistant, across their comprehensive K-12 course library. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in bringing practical AI applications to everyday classroom experiences, setting a new standard for educational technology implementation in K-12 environments.
“What excites me most about BusyBee is how it empowers both sides of the classroom,” says BJ Dines, Founder and CEO of SchoolsPLP. “Teachers get time back for meaningful instruction, while students gain real experience with AI technology. By integrating predictive grading, we’re enhancing student engagement and nurturing an effective learning environment that equips students for success in their future careers.”
The integration of BusyBee, built on Amazon Bedrock, represents a significant leap forward in educational technology, offering sophisticated AI capabilities while maintaining the user-friendly experience that SchoolsPLP customers have come to expect. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, BusyBee analyzes student work with remarkable accuracy, providing instant feedback and allowing teachers to focus on higher-value instructional activities.
Benefits for SchoolsPLP Partners Include:
- Immediate AI enhancement of existing SchoolsPLP courses
- Zero additional setup required
- Comprehensive support system for teachers and students
- Enhanced personalized learning
- Real-time feedback for students
- Reduced grading time for teachers
The integration launches with SchoolsPLP participating in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) program to assist with testing and launch of this powerful AI teaching assistant during the pilot period. This initiative represents a significant step forward in SchoolsPLP’s commitment to delivering innovative, efficient, and engaging learning experiences.
“The education landscape is rapidly evolving, and AI integration is no longer optional – it’s essential,” adds Dines. “Our partnership with Agilix, the developer of BusyBee, ensures that schools using SchoolsPLP are at the forefront of this transformation, equipped with tools that make a real difference in teaching and learning outcomes.”
Early testing shows BusyBee’s Grading Assistant reduces feedback time by up to 80% per submission, transforming a traditional 5-minute grading task into a 60-second interaction. Teachers can now provide thorough, personalized feedback on five times more assignments—turning an hour of grading into just 12 minutes.
Schools currently using SchoolsPLP can activate BusyBee features immediately through their existing Buzz platform. The seamless activation process ensures that educators can begin benefiting from AI-enhanced capabilities without disrupting their current teaching practices or requiring extensive training.
