By integrating our module with the FWU – Das Medieninstitut der Länder platform and optimizing the user experience, media is automatically linked to curricula. Relevant metadata is extracted using natural language processing (NLP) and requires only final review and verification. The fact that relevant and appropriate media is significantly more discoverable meaningfully improves teaching and learning outcomes.

The challenge
E-learning content overflow overwhelms classification systems, hindering efficiency
During the pandemic, the amount of e-learning content available increased rapidly. Search engines and recommendation systems present at most schools or in existing e-learning systems were overwhelmed because they relied on the manual classification of added content. This is no longer feasible given the volumes. Currently, finding relevant content is very time-consuming. Because of this, publicly available content cannot be used efficiently.
The solution
AI-driven platform enhances learning experience with enriched curricula and discoverability
We designed and developed a platform that presents school curricula in a structured way. Using NLP, each curriculum paragraph is enriched with topic- and skill-specific keyword metadata. One algorithm classifies the topics of generic input texts, and another matches this content to link it to the learning plans to make it discoverable. Our artificial intelligence (AI) back-end services use machine learning and deep learning to process natural language. Existing ontologies and taxonomies are efficiently incorporated. In short, this means that we throw in the content, enrich it with metadata, and the topic can be determined based on that. This makes learning fun.
