Open tool →Frequently Asked Questions
How much planning time do AI tools actually save teachers?
OpenEduCat AI tools reduce lesson planning time by approximately 60% in active use. A teacher who spends 5 hours per week on planning typically gets that down to 2 hours, about 90 minutes generating and refining AI-created plans, 30 minutes on personalisation. The remaining 40% of time is irreplaceable teacher judgment: deciding what students need, adapting for specific learners, and aligning with weekly pacing.
Can AI tools generate assessments from my actual course content?
Yes. The Multiple Choice Assessment Generator, Quick Quiz Generator, and Exit Ticket Generator all pull from the course content stored in your OpenEduCat LMS. The questions are about what was actually taught, not generic textbook questions. You can also specify standards, difficulty level, and question format before generating.
Do the communication tools comply with FERPA?
Yes. The Parent Email Reminder, Newsletter Builder, and Email Family Templates tools generate communication drafts without including student-identifiable data in the AI prompt unless the teacher explicitly includes it. The drafts are always reviewed and sent by the teacher, the AI assists the drafting process, it does not send messages independently. All data remains within your OpenEduCat instance.
How does the Essay Grading AI work?
The Essay Grading AI reads the student submission alongside the rubric criteria the teacher provides. It drafts written feedback tied to specific criteria — it assigns no scores and has no gradebook connection. Teachers review and edit the AI feedback before it is shared with students, and the teacher sets every grade. The AI handles the first draft; the teacher makes every call.
What classroom management tools are available?
The classroom management suite includes the Group Generator (creates balanced student groups based on performance data, learning styles, or random allocation), Class Procedures Generator (drafts classroom routines and norms language), Make It Relevant Generator (helps teachers connect lesson content to students' real-world interests), and Conversation Starter Generator (discussion prompts calibrated to the topic and grade level).
