IdeasGym is prototyping Explainable AI-Based Tutoring in Upper Egypt rural schools

Team: Marwa Soudi, Esraa Ali, Maha Bali and Nihal Mabrouk (IdeasGym, Egypt)

As part of Cohort 4 of the Feminist AI Framework projects, IdeasGym from Egypt, led by electronics and electrical engineer Marwa Soudi, is developing a prototype based on their recent A+ Alliance f<A+I>r Feminist AI Research network paper, for a collaborative platform “Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Tutoring Systems.” The platform combines the expertise of teachers with the capabilities of AI technology to enhance the educational experience through resource allocation to underprivileged schools, in this case under-resourced one room community-based schools that have 80% girl students. 

The IdeasGym A+ Alliance funded Cohort 3 paper “Generative AI-Based Tutoring System for Upper Egypt Community Schools”  was nominated for Best Research Paper during the HCAIep ’23: Human Centered AI Education and Practice Conference 2023 in Dublin, Ireland.

Prototype development will focus on creating a workable solution that can be customized and adapted to different languages and local contexts. The overall goal is to foster a symbiotic relationship between teachers and AI, leveraging the strengths of both human expertise and intelligent automation.

The system will provide teachers with tools to assess the quality of AI-generated content, and customize it according to their pedagogical goals. Teachers can review and curate the AI-generated materials, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and alignment with the curriculum. The platform also enables teachers to leverage the AI system’s analysis of learner data

We are looking forward to seeing this prototype which takes a human-centered approach to intelligent tutoring systems come to life!
