【Background of Development】

With the establishment of a one-device-per-student environment based on the GIGA School Concept, learning logs and activity data are being accumulated in schools daily. As part of 'NEXT GIGA,' the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has proposed the development of data utilization environments, such as dashboards and cross-tool data integration platforms, to achieve both personalized learning for each student and a reduction in teacher workload. Furthermore, the 4th Basic Plan for the Promotion of Education emphasizes the promotion of Evidence-Based Policy Making (EBPM) using accumulated data as objective evidence, calling for school and instructional improvements that do not rely solely on experience or intuition.

However, in school settings, data is often dispersed across school administration support systems, learning portals, and digital teaching materials, making cross-sectional understanding difficult. Additionally, analysis methods often depend on the individual know-how and skills of teachers. As a result, even when data is accumulated, it often fails to lead to effective student observation, instructional improvement, or policy consideration, and the analysis process itself becomes a burden, hindering daily utilization.

To solve these issues, Konica Minolta Japan has developed the 'Teacher x AI Assist AI Dashboard' by leveraging the technology, know-how, and AI expertise cultivated through its education-related businesses, including 'tomoLinks.'

【Features of the 'Teacher x AI Assist AI Dashboard'】

This service is designed not only to integrate and visualize scattered educational data but also to have generative AI analyze the data and suggest 'what to pay attention to,' enabling teachers to gain 'insights' and connect them to 'next actions.' Specifically, when the generative AI detects a situation requiring attention regarding a student, it presents an 'Insight Card.' Teachers can check details through graphs and data on a detailed screen as needed, or use 'AI Chat' to ask questions or consult with the AI to delve deeper into the situation. It emphasizes not only objective numerical data, such as attendance days and grade fluctuations, but also subjective data, such as students' mental states and learning reflections, to provide 'insights' based on complex factors.
