ImpactEd Group to support AI Education Content Store

We’re pleased to announce that ImpactEd Group will be supporting Faculty AI, AI in Education and Open Education AI, to deliver the DfE flagship AI programme: AI Education Content Store.

Incubated in the Department for Education, the Content Store programme will bring together selected educational material such as programmes of study, lesson plans and anonymised pupil assessments into an online repository that can be used to train AI tools. By enabling tuning of edtech tools with quality content, the store will facilitate innovation that supports teachers in time consuming activities, creating more time to dedicate to their students.

Minister for AI and Digital Government Feryal Clark said: “AI could give teachers the freedom to focus on what truly matters: crafting engaging and inspiring lessons without the pressure of endless paperwork. 

Minister for Early Education Stephen Morgan said, “We are determined to break down the barriers to opportunity to ensure every child can get the best possible education – and that includes access to the best tech innovations for all. Artificial intelligence, when made safe and reliable, represents an exciting opportunity to give our schools leaders and teachers a helping hand with classroom life. 

Elin de Zoete, Group Director, ImpactEd Group added, “As schools and teachers explore the huge potential in AI to augment practice and save time, ImpactEd Group is excited to bring the voices and expertise of education leaders into the co-design of this ambitious project. By rooting the Content Store in the needs of the sector, we will catalyse AI tool innovation that will drive outcomes for the profession and for young people.”    

Tom Nixon, Managing Director, Faculty said, “This programme demonstrates how AI has the potential to redefine public services, making them more efficient and accessible while levelling the playing field for startups and tech innovators. I’m excited to see how the new government will harness these technologies to drive innovation, reduce barriers, and ensure that everyone, from small businesses to public institutions, benefits from this transformative approach.”

Matt Woodruff, CEO, Open Education AI added, “At Open Education AI, we believe that by focusing on interoperability and standards for data, analytics, and AI, schools can free up resources for teaching and learning while fostering growth and innovation in the EdTech ecosystem. We are thrilled that The Content Store project not only offers opportunities for continued innovation but also incorporates the valuable perspectives and needs of key sector stakeholders.”

Sir Anthony Seldon, Founder, AI in Education said, “Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionise education in ways not seen since the invention of the printing press, with far-reaching implications for addressing social inequalities. AI in Education are delighted to collaborate with sector stakeholders on this groundbreaking Content Store project which we believe will benefit all learners, especially the most vulnerable.”
