While ChatGPT is widely known as a versatile language model for various writing tasks, our AI assistant for teachers Maia offers specific advantages for the education sector. Unlike ChatGPT, which provides general assistance for writing tasks, Maia has been designed to assist in lesson planning and creation, to support you with teaching and learning.
8,000+ lessons created with Maia
11,500,000+ students engaged
1,700,000+ LessonUp lessons taught
Save time on planning your lesson for tomorrow
Maia could save you hours of lesson planning time—with less time spent on researching a topic or planning a lesson’s structure. Maia can assist you with creating lessons that follow a proven pedagogical structure. By default, the created lessons begin by activating students’ prior knowledge with a mind map, and end with three open questions to assess student understanding and encourage reflection. The lessons are either based on written prompts, copy-pasted text, or photos/images that include text. That's up to you, based on your preferences.
Use time wisely. Create lessons that inspire you
With Maia, you can create lessons on potentially anything. You could take a picture of a museum plaque, of a brochure, or an information board, and transform them into classroom-worthy lessons. What our AI assistant for teachers can do is truly remarkable! Even if we limit our examples to the classroom setting, it’s nice to know that you could copy-paste questions from past exam papers, extract parts from your syllabus or from the national curriculum. And—why not?— create a lesson based on a piece of content you want to share with your class.
Trim time by adding instant interactivity to a lesson
Most learners enjoy digital quizzes! They match their need for quick digital interactions, as they can instantly see if they've got the answer right or wrong. Maia can assist you in matching students’ needs by creating clusters of up to five quizzes or polls on any chosen topic. All you have to do is go to an existing LessonUp lesson, and 'Ask Maia' to create quizzes or polls based on any LessonUp slide. The quizzes or polls can give you an instant snapshot of what your class is struggling with—precious information that helps you spot misunderstandings at an early stage, and formulate the right follow-up questions.
Accelerate the making of your first digital lesson
If you have never used a digital teaching platform before, starting to figure out how to create your first digital lesson can be quite daunting. However, with Maia’s support, the first steps towards creating a digital lesson are mostly automated. Instead of wondering where to begin while staring at a blank slide, you are almost immediately provided with a structured lesson suggestion following a pedagogical framework. It is then easy to edit and fine-tune the lesson to match your students’ needs, or to add quizzes or polls at any moment during your lesson.
