Carnegie Learning/LiveLab

Overview

Carnegie Learning wanted a tool that empowered educators with in-the-moment actionable data. The goal was to provide an intuitive companion product for MATHia that allowed educators to quickly identify struggling students and provide them assistance in the classroom.

Ed tech breakthrough award

LiveLab powered by MATHia® was named “Best Use of Artificial Intelligence in Education” in the 2019 EdTech Breakthrough Awards

The Problem

  • Educators using the MATHia product didn’t believe they had an active role to play in the lab. They often sat at their desks to grade papers or did not attend to the students’ work during the lab period.
  • A teacher in the lab might have been unaware of which students to approach and what to say to them.
  • Time was limited, and students who needed help didn’t always ask for it.
  • Even if the teacher was actively engaging with the class, it could be challenging to discern at a glance what a particular student was working on.

The Solution

    •  A simple dashboard that could be understood quickly would help teachers decide where to focus their attention during lab time.
    • Wire frames and prototypes were constantly user-tested to ensure the pertinent information was salient and the interface intuitive.

The Outcome

    • Upon the beta release of the product, we found a significant lift in not only student performance but in how simple interactions became the driving force behind student engagement in the classroom. It wasn’t instructional help that most propelled students forward but encouraging
      language. Now that the instructors knew who was struggling, they were able to easily check-in and found that a little bit of positive language was all that was needed to get a student to
      complete a workspace.
    • Livelab won the Breakthrough Ed Tech award for Best Use of AI and became the most well-received product in the company’s history.
