Yourway Learning launches AI platform aimed supporting teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms

Yourway Learning, an AI learning platform provider, has launched Yourway Spark - an AI platform designed to support teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms.

Yourway Spark offers interactive activities for students, provided in real-time with standards-aligned scaffolds. It also provides flexible grading tools, teacher-facing prompts and options that can be tailored to specific subjects, districts, schools, or classrooms.

The system also automates tasks including feedback and moderation, reducing teacher workload.

Yourway says the system does not share any personally identifiable information and students do not require an account to participate. Only teachers will be able to see student responses collected by the system. 

"As a former classroom teacher, I've lived the challenges that teachers face when it comes to meeting the needs of every student," explains Hollin Wakefield, Chief Product and Technology Officer of Yourway Learning. "With Spark, we set out to build something fundamentally different from anything else on the market—AI that is aligned to teachers' preferred classroom activities and that responds to students' needs in real time."

"It starts with engaging students and building confidence, but the ultimate goal is to foster a growth mindset so they embrace the productive struggle required for meaningful learning.”

While Yourway Spark launches in October, the company is inviting testers to trial a demo version of the system ahead of its release.
