School AI Releases "Usage Dashboard" to Visualize Generative AI Usage within Schools

Mingaku Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuta Sato; hereinafter referred to as "Mingaku") has launched the "Usage Dashboard," a new feature for its generative AI platform for education, "School AI," which allows for the visualization of usage status within schools.

This feature enables users to check usage rates, number of users, number of accesses, and trends in apps used, on a school-wide or classroom-by-classroom basis, filterable by period, classroom, user, or app.

Furthermore, based on usage data, AI analyzes the utilization status and provides advice for promoting usage tailored to the specific situation of each school.

In an era where not only the introduction of generative AI but also "how to establish it and lead to continuous utilization" is emphasized, this feature supports school administrators and ICT personnel in grasping usage status and promoting utilization within schools based on data.

Background of Development

Against the backdrop of the second phase of the GIGA School Program and the promotion of educational DX, the use of generative AI is expanding in school settings.

However, many schools face challenges such as:

Unable to grasp the actual extent of usage

Difficulty in seeing the usage status by classroom or grade level

Difficulty in disseminating examples of successful utilization within the school

Inability to connect to improvements or support based on data

Until now, School AI has supported educational sites by providing a safe generative AI environment and apps that can be used in classes.

The "Usage Dashboard" released this time was developed to enable administrators and ICT personnel to grasp the current situation and promote data-driven utilization and school-wide deployment by visualizing usage status within schools.

Main Features of the Usage Dashboard

1. Grasp School-Wide Usage Status at a Glance

The Usage Dashboard allows for an overview of the school's generative AI usage status. In addition to basic indicators such as usage rates and number of accesses, it helps in understanding the current situation and promoting usage within the school by visually representing usage status.

【Main Indicators That Can Be Checked】

Number of users who started the app

App start rate

Number of app starts

Total number of messages sent

Types of apps started

Overview of school-wide usage status at a glance

2. Analyze Usage Status and Trends by Classroom

By filtering by period, classroom, user, or app, users can check usage status not only school-wide but also by classroom. Visualizing usage trends also makes it possible to identify classrooms where usage is progressing well and apps that are frequently used, leading to the sharing of practices within the school and promotion of usage.

Grasp usage trends from usage data

3. AI Supports Usage Promotion

Based on usage data, AI analyzes the situation of each school and provides advice for promoting usage.

For example, users can check:

Analysis of usage status

Hints for improvement based on usage trends

Proposals for school-wide deployment

This can be utilized for in-school training and class improvement.

AI proposes hints for usage

Management Functions Supporting Operations in Educational Settings

School AI emphasizes creating an environment where generative AI can be used with peace of mind in educational settings.

The Usage Dashboard allows faculty and staff with administrative or ICT manager privileges to centrally check usage status for the entire school or by classroom.

Furthermore, by visualizing usage status, it supports data-driven school management and promotion of ICT utilization, such as sharing practices from classrooms with high usage within the school or providing support to classrooms with low usage.

School AI's Usage Cycle Connecting Data to Educational Practice

The "Usage Dashboard" released this time is a feature that visualizes generative AI usage status within schools and supports its promotion.

School AI aims to provide comprehensive support from understanding usage status to improving classes by utilizing this feature in combination with other functions.

For example, it is possible to grasp usage trends by school and classroom with the Usage Dashboard, and based on the results, create and improve educational apps using the "Interactive App Development Studio," thereby connecting data to educational practice.

Going forward, School AI will continue to comprehensively support the use of generative AI in educational settings through its various functions.
