What Is the Objective When Integrating AI into SmartClass?
Integrating Artificial Intelligence into SmartClass is designed around a "pedagogy-first" philosophy—using technology to empower teachers rather than replace them, and giving students the tools they need to achieve real oral proficiency. Our integration of AI focuses on four key objectives:
1. Increasing and Improving Student Practice;
2. Providing Better and Faster Grading and Feedback;
3. Saving Time for Teachers;
4. Increasing Student Accessibility to Language Learning
