Artificial Intelligence can make life easier for teachers and curriculum designers. We will go as far as to argue that the future of lesson planning is a collaboration between a fantastic teacher and AI.
AI and the future of lesson planning
AI still seems like a foreign topic to most teachers, so it is normal to be skeptical about it. However, as we said, AI can make your life easier by supporting you with different tasks and allowing you time and freedom to do what you do best: Teaching! So, without further ado, let’s look at how AI shapes the future of lesson planning.
Much like the algorithms used on music streaming platforms like Spotify, AI can gather the data you need to understand your students’ unique preferences to plan more engaging and fun lessons depending on your students’ ages, likes, and dislikes.

Suggest exercises that best fit learner preferences, content, and time
Sometimes, no matter how much you try, it feels as though you can’t move on from the same type of exercises or the usual questions, am I right? AI, such as CanopyLAB’s very own AICATO, can suggest exercises and questions for your quizzes based on your materials, what’s trending in your community, and what may be best for your audience.
- Help you adapt to your students’ speed and challenges
Maybe you think the lesson you just gave was terrific. You spent hours working on it, created excellent materials, and you feel satisfied with the final product, but when your students hand in their homework or correct a quiz, it seems like they didn’t understand anything. AI can help you know the speed at which your students learn and their learning challenges so that you can create a more personalized and adaptive learning experience that each kid can make the most of to reach their full potential.
CanopyLAB’s AI-powered Adaptive Learning
To create the perfect lesson plan, we must understand what the learner knows gaps in their knowledge and combine that with information about how they learn. Using that as a point of departure, sit back and let the AI do all the heavy lifting, so you can focus on giving your students a positive and personalized experience in the classroom. And how does AI do that? Simple, by collecting essential information through:
To create the perfect lesson plan, we must understand what the learner knows gaps in their knowledge and combine that with information about how they learn.
Learner activity
Mapping the knowledge they have gained, for example, using Natural Language Processing, information courses they have taken, what texts and videos they have watched, exercises or assignments they have completed their performance, and the choice learners make when picking between different suggested exercises.
Learner’s clustering
Assign learners adaptive entrance quiz before taking a course to assess their performance and level and cluster learners into groups with similar interests, activities, and performance.
