"21st Century learning demands a shift from outdated educational models," said David Smith, CEO and Co-Founder, SVHS. "We're grateful to AWS who provided a team of engineers to help us leverage the powerful AWS hosting and generative AI platforms. By combining advanced technologies with innovative teaching methods, we are reinventing the learning experience for students and educators alike."
AI-Powered Personalized Learning and Efficiency
Quickly growing into one of the world's largest schools, SVHS provides students with innovative, tailored AI learning tools. The first of these include:
Barni: An advanced proctoring system that ensures a secure 'no cheating' test environment. Barni authenticates students using facial and voice recognition, monitors eye movement and prevents unauthorized access to external resources during tests.
Sage: A personal tutor available within each course, Sage offers expert assistance in note-taking, real-time feedback and detailed answers to course-related questions.
Ace: A writing and assessment guide that helps students improve their writing skills for essays and assignments. Integrated within the SVHS Smart Editor, Ace also collaborates with Barni for a comprehensive learning experience.
Dot: A teaching assistant that engages students in comprehension tests through various chat modes. Dot also supports teachers with curriculum development and grading.
Users can chat directly with these bots on the Meet the Bots page of the SVHS website.
