Project Overview

The AI-Powered Learning Platform is an adaptive education system that uses generative AI to create personalized learning experiences for STEM subjects. Developed in partnership with a leading education nonprofit, the platform serves middle and high school students across 20+ countries.

My role encompassed product strategy, UX design, and AI implementation planning. I led a cross-functional team of engineers, data scientists, and educators to create a solution that adapts to each student's learning style, pace, and knowledge gaps.

Key Features

  • Dynamic content generation tailored to individual learning paths
  • Real-time knowledge gap analysis and remediation
  • Multimodal learning (text, video, interactive simulations)
  • Teacher dashboard with actionable insights
  • Ethical AI safeguards for educational content

The Challenge

Traditional education systems struggle to meet diverse learning needs, leaving many students behind

Problem Space

The education nonprofit approached us with a critical challenge: their existing digital learning tools weren't effectively addressing the wide variability in student learning styles and paces. Classroom teachers were overwhelmed trying to differentiate instruction for 30+ students simultaneously.

Key pain points included:

  • One-size-fits-all content that didn't adapt to individual needs
  • No real-time feedback mechanism to identify knowledge gaps
  • Limited teacher visibility into individual student progress
  • High student disengagement with traditional digital learning tools

Project Goals

Our mission was to create a learning platform that could provide truly personalized education at scale, leveraging emerging AI technologies while maintaining rigorous educational standards and ethical considerations.

1

Increase learning retention by at least 50% compared to traditional methods

2

Reduce teacher workload for differentiation by 30%

3

Maintain 90%+ accuracy in generated educational content

4

Achieve 80% student engagement rate (vs. industry average of 45%)

Our Process

A human-centered approach to building AI-powered education

Phase 1 Discovery & Research

Conducted extensive user research with students, teachers, and administrators across 15 schools to understand pain points and opportunities in STEM education.

User Interviews Classroom Observations Competitive Analysis
Phase 2 Concept Development

Facilitated design thinking workshops with educators and AI experts to explore solution concepts. Developed initial prototypes and tested with focus groups.

Design Sprints Prototyping Usability Testing
Phase 3 AI Model Training

Curated educational content datasets and worked with data scientists to train initial AI models. Established ethical guidelines and accuracy benchmarks.

Data Curation Model Training Ethical Review
Phase 4 Pilot Implementation

Launched pilot program in 5 schools with iterative feedback loops. Refined AI models and UX based on real classroom usage data.

Pilot Testing Iterative Design Performance Monitoring
Phase 5 Scale & Optimization

Expanded to 20+ schools with localized content. Implemented continuous learning for AI models based on new educational research and student performance data.

Localization Continuous Improvement Impact Measurement

Key Research Insights

Learning Variability

87% of students showed significant variability in mastery across different STEM concepts

Teacher Challenges

Teachers spent 35% of planning time creating differentiated materials

Engagement Drop

Student engagement with digital tools dropped by 60% after initial novelty wore off

The Solution

An adaptive learning platform that personalizes education through generative AI

How It Works

The AI-Powered Learning Platform creates a unique learning path for each student by continuously assessing their understanding and adapting content in real-time. The system combines generative AI with proven pedagogical approaches to deliver truly personalized education.

Knowledge Mapping

The AI builds a dynamic knowledge map for each student, identifying strengths and gaps across interconnected concepts.

Content Generation

The system generates explanations, examples, and practice problems tailored to the student's current level and preferred learning style.

Adaptive Pathways

Learning pathways adjust in real-time based on student performance, ensuring optimal challenge and engagement.

Platform Interface

Key Features

Personalized Avatars

AI tutors adapt their teaching style and personality to match student preferences, increasing engagement.

Concept Maps
