How is GenAI being integrated into schools to enhance teaching and learning? ‘Teaching with GenAI: Insights on Productivity, Creativity, Quality and Safety’ delves into this critical question by exploring the opportunities GenAI offers, the challenges it poses and how it’s shaping the future of education.
Avallain Reinforces its Commitment to Research-Driven Solutions with a Newly Commissioned GenAI Report
St. Gallen, January 30, 2025 – Education technology pioneer Avallain introduces, Teaching with GenAI: Insights on Productivity, Creativity, Quality and Safety. This independent report, commissioned by the Avallain Group and produced by Oriel Square Ltd, is key research that provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers alike.
This timely and comprehensive report explores how generative AI is being integrated into schools to enhance teaching and learning outcomes and the critical opportunities and challenges it presents.
Professor Rose Luckin, of University College London and Founder of Educate Ventures Research, says the report is ‘an essential read for any education leader navigating the AI landscape.’
Navigating the Opportunities, Challenges and Risks of GenAI
The ‘Teaching with GenAI: Insights on Productivity, Creativity, Quality and Safety’ report provides detailed insights into how GenAI saves time and boosts efficiency, allowing educators to streamline workflows and dedicate more time to impactful teaching. It delves into the tools and training needed to create meaningful learning materials, providing practical advice for designing engaging and effective content. The report examines how GenAI fosters creativity and innovation in teaching practices, encouraging educators to reimagine their instructional approaches.
Beyond this, the report also stresses the importance of quality control in GenAI applications, identifying areas where oversight is essential to ensure high standards in AI-generated content. Critical advice is offered around data security and tackling inbuilt bias, helping educators and institutions confidently address these key concerns. More importantly, the report provides actionable recommendations on how schools and organisations can effectively integrate and apply GenAI to maximise its potential while ensuring ethical and responsible use.
As Professor John Traxler, Academic Director of the Avallain Lab, explains, ‘While schools and educators acknowledge the potential of GenAI tools to assist in key pedagogical tasks, they also express concerns about content accuracy, the risk of perpetuating biases and the impact of these tools on their evolving role in the classroom. This underscores the need to provide educators with GenAI solutions tailored to educational contexts and the critical analysis skills required to engage with these technologies safely and effectively.’
A Commitment to Research-Driven Solutions
The rapid rise of GenAI has introduced both unprecedented possibilities and complex challenges in the educational landscape. With a long history of developing educator-led technology, Avallain has always believed that research-driven approaches are essential to ensuring technology supports learning outcomes.
‘This report reflects our commitment to research-driven solutions that empower educators. By exploring the benefits, potential and challenges of GenAI through the experiences of teachers and specialists, we aim to provide valuable insights and actionable recommendations to the educational community. Together, we are navigating this transformative field to deliver technology that ethically and safely supports teachers and students.’ As Ignatz Heinz, President and Co-Founder of Avallain, highlights.
Avallain’s Approach to Ethical and Safe GenAI Integration
As GenAI enters classrooms, Avallain is doubling down on this commitment with these informative reports and its broader AI strategy, Avallain Intelligence, which aims to responsibly integrate AI across the entire edtech value chain. This initiative is built on the principle that ethical AI is essential—not only for achieving better outcomes, enhanced productivity and safe, innovative learner interactions but, more importantly, as a foundation for the reliable adoption of these tools in our societies, particularly in our educational systems.
Carles Vidal, Avallain Lab Business Director, explains further, ‘Avallain’s unwavering commitment to Ethical AI is reflected in a range of AI solutions designed in alignment with the Ethical Key Requirements, outlined in the EU’s Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI. These guidelines uphold the principles of respect for human autonomy, prevention of harm, fairness and explicability.’
The newly commissioned report aligns with this AI strategy by exploring critical ethical, safe, and effective implementation considerations. It provides actionable recommendations for schools and educators to adopt these technologies while ensuring responsible use confidently.
