Challenge

The share of video content is growing rapidly, along with the length of lectures and clips. As a result, content creators cannot always consistently produce summaries that highlight key points. Therefore, not all content can be created following accessibility guidelines and relevant regulations.

Given this obstacle, the client repeatedly encountered the following challenges:

  • Due to the influence of social media, many students are acquiring a clip mentality, which is characterized by fragmentation, speed, and superficiality. A lot of learners struggled to extract essential information from lengthy videos, leading to cognitive overload.

  • As students’ learning habits evolved and educators demanded more tailored content, content creators faced a growing burden. They should have not only adapted materials to meet changing learning styles and accessibility standards but also continuously updated and maintained these resources.

  • Educators were challenged to assess students’ understanding of the video content without summaries that highlight the main ideas. This was hindering effective teaching strategies, as instructors used to rely on informal assessments rather than structured evaluations that aligned with the key points presented in the videos.

Solution

After a series of joint meetups, it was decided to utilize the existing platform’s functionality and integrate the new AI-based tool. The AI highlights generator features were to include:

  • 1

    Generate concise summaries of in-house educational materials, including audio, videos, articles, and presentations, to highlight key concepts for learners.

  • 2

    Ensure seamless integration with the existing eLearning platform for easy access to generated highlights and related resources.

  • 3

    Maintain a history of user interactions to provide context-aware summaries and track learning progress over time.

  • 4

    Provide detailed analytics for teachers, showing who has taken the course and how much of it has been completed.

  • 5

    Allow users to provide feedback on the generated highlights to continuously improve the accuracy and relevance of content summarization.

  • 6

    Implement robust security measures to protect user data and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Project scope

The Aristek team relied on subject matter expertise in AI-based development and the education domain. The project consisted of the following steps:

Icon

  • Assessment

    Identifying the specific requirements and objectives of the educational institution, including the types of content that will be reworked into highlights.

  • Framework

    Developing a detailed blueprint of the highlight generator’s features, including customized options.

  • Customization

    Choice of an appropriate AI model for generating highlights, ensuring it is tailored to the educational context and capable of processing various media formats (e.g., audio, videos, texts, etc).

  • UI/UX design

    Designing a user-friendly interface for both educators and students, allowing easy access to highlights and relevant features.

  • Development

    Building the highlights generator, incorporating computer vision, audio processing, and natural language processing techniques to ensure accurate summarization and key concept extraction.

  • Integration

    APIs creation to seamlessly integrate the highlights generator into the existing LMS, ensuring a smooth user experience.

  • Testing

    Testing with actual users to validate the functionality, accuracy, and user satisfaction of the highlight generator.

How it works

Once the planning was complete, within two months, the Aristek team was on track to reach the intended goal. Here’s how the generator works:

1

Using advanced AI models, the LMS automatically analyzes the content and creates concise summaries, capturing key points and concepts for learners.

2

The course creator can review the text generated using text, video, or audio, with the option to correct, add, or delete information, ensuring the content is accurate and aligned with teaching goals.

3

All of these highlights are available to the student on the same page as the block of information, meaning they have the choice to view the full material or read only the most significant parts.

4

As students engage with the highlights, the platform tracks usage and provides insights into how learners interact with the material. Course creators and teachers can see which sections are most useful and how many of them have been read to the end.

5

Later, using learners’ feedback and view analytics, the course creator can continuously refine the content to improve its clarity and relevance.

    Optimization

    The client reduced costs on course development, accelerating course creation by 75%. The ready-made outputs helped to make the learning process more engaging and keep students’ attention.

  • Icon of card 2

    Efficiency

    Learners can spend significantly less time preparing for tests and repeating material after school.

  • Icon of card 3

    Streamlining

    Teachers save a considerable amount of time with ready-to-use outlines and key points for lessons, allowing them to focus on higher-level instruction and individualized guidance while the highlights generator handles content creation.

In the future, it is possible to make a case where analytics is conducted on how and what users use from highlights. The development of additional functions depends on the client’s product team.

  • In fact, we didn’t even realize how much time educators and students save with this generator. Content creators can opt out of creating video summaries to highlight key points and instead focus on individualized student work.

    In addition, educational institutions gain much-needed automatic compliance with accessibility standards by providing an alternative version of the material.
