In September, we announced the early release of two resources to support the development of AI tools that truly reflect how students learn. Knowledge Graph acts as a data layer that integrates trusted instructional content and research into AI-powered tools, and Evaluators help ensure AI-generated text is accurate, rigorous, consistent, and worthy of teachers’ trust.
The response to the early release of Knowledge Graph and Evaluators exceeded our expectations. On GitHub, there have been thousands of downloads of the Knowledge Graph datasets and Evaluators resources. We have been blown away by the number of interesting use cases across edtech partners who can now bring higher-quality resources to educators by integrating our tools.
It’s clear that there’s a real need for open public infrastructure to support AI tools that are built and tuned for the classroom. With a shared foundation of quality and rigor, we believe that these tools can live up to their promise and help educators better support each student’s learning journey.
Our initial release was just the beginning. We continue to work in collaboration with teachers, district leaders, researchers, and developers to improve Knowledge Graph and Evaluators. You’ll see regular releases and updates to these resources as we continually improve them.
We are pleased to announce enhancements to Knowledge Graph, including the integration of math learning standards from Washington, D.C., as well as alignment between math learning components (smaller skills and concepts) and academic standards for Louisiana, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
With this update, Knowledge Graph now includes alignment between math learning components and academic standards for 21 states and D.C., making it easier to adapt math content for use across the country. Later this month, we will add Wisconsin to the list and release other improvements. All of these resources will be available with an open license on the Knowledge Graph page on GitHub.
In the coming months, we will release additional updates to Knowledge Graph and expand Evaluators within literacy for 3rd and 4th grade to more dimensions of text complexity and cover additional grade levels. We will also release Evaluators that assess AI-generated output against other rubrics, such as alignment with state academic standards and how motivating the exercise is for students.
It is an honor to work with a wide range of partners who share our vision of building public-good infrastructure to scale proven teaching and learning practices to benefit every learner. We hope you will join us. Stay connected and learn about new products and features on GitHub, follow us on LinkedIn, and reach out about partnership opportunities through our website.
