Artificial intelligence, as told by three teaching communities

Assistants for teachers

Eductia offers a paid AI tool for preparing teaching materials in Catalonia

The service generates learning situations, activities and assessment instruments aligned with Catalan regulations, and raises the question of what it offers over a general-purpose AI.

Eductia is an artificial intelligence assistant designed for teachers and schools in Catalonia. According to its website, it generates learning situations, activities, assessment instruments, individual support plans and learning objectives, aligned with the LOMLOE and with Catalan decrees. The interface is in Catalan and the results can be downloaded as PDF or Word files.

It is a paid service, with a seven-day free trial. The published plans are Basic (6 euros a month, 5,000 credits), Advanced (10 euros, 10,000 credits) and Premium (13 euros, 20,000 credits), with discounts for schools. The website states that no data identifying students is requested or stored, that what teachers write is not used to train any model, and that each teacher can view and delete their data.

Its privacy policy states that the content is generated with generative AI from OpenAI and Anthropic, which act as data processors. None of the pages consulted says in which country the data is processed, an important point for schools that must justify transfers outside the European Union.

In the discussion, the majority view was that these are general-purpose models connected through an API beneath a layer of the service's own restrictions and good documentation, and that it offers little that cannot be achieved with a well-instructed standard assistant. It was also pointed out that there is a niche: teachers with little time or expertise to build elaborate instructions themselves may prefer a ready-made tool.
