As the latest step in embedding EdTech in all of our classrooms, we are delighted to have introduced CENTURY, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered learning platform, across 42 of our schools in Europe.
From April this year, students at 16 schools in the Cognita family have benefited from learning using CENTURY during lockdowns and disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Following this successful introduction, we are now bringing the software to even more of our schools across Europe.
Using the latest in AI, neuroscience and learning science, CENTURY personalises learning for each of our students – tailoring its library of teacher-created learning materials to their individual strengths, weaknesses and behaviours. This will form an integral part of our education technology offer in the months and years to come.
CENTURY also saves our teachers hours of administrative work every week, freeing them up to focus on inspiring their students.
This move builds on our COVID-related transformation programme, in which all students in Year 3 and above in our Europe schools are being equipped with their own personal laptop or iPad for use in school and at home. Over 12,000 digital devices are being distributed to students in the UK, Spain and Switzerland in the coming weeks and months. By partnering with CENTURY to add its AI-powered learning tools to students’ ‘digital backpacks’, these devices will now enable students to access high quality personalised learning both at home and school, throughout any disruption.
