What would it look like to fully integrate AI into a learning environment? In the last few months, we’ve seen a surge of announcements about the vast potential of AI in applications. With Microsoft’s Co-Pilot and Apple’s Apple Intelligence, some integrations are taking a system-wide approach, crafting entire AI operating systems and hardware.
Some districts are already experimenting with integrated rollouts. Desoto ISD is pioneering the implementation of a district-wide AI OS, demonstrating its commitment to elevating academic performance and ensuring technological advancements are accessible and engaging for all students.
“The district’s leadership team is committed to adopting game-changing AI technology from Knomadix to accelerate learning and bridge academic gaps,” said Dr. Usamah Rodgers, DeSoto ISD’s superintendent. “This approach enhances educational delivery while equipping students with the skills necessary for future success in an increasingly technology-driven world.”
This initiative is fueled by a collaboration between Knomadix and Big Thought Institute. Knomadix brings expertise in digital learning environments, while Big Thought Institute contributes its experience in cultivating a positive culture and climate to strengthen instructional practices. Currently, Knomadix has integrated AI-driven educational resources sourced from Texas HQIM (High-Quality Instructional Materials) and other publishers, such as Eureka Math, Carnegie Learning Math, and Stemscopes Math.
“Technology is changing rapidly, and learning environments need to meet the moment by integrating positive climate and a youth-centered culture with responsible technology adoption that meets young people where they are and pushes them to grow in constructive ways,” said Greg MacPherson, Chief Big Thought Institute Officer. “DeSoto ISD’s visionary thinking about technology makes them the ideal partner to help meet the moment alongside.”
Knomadix has been building its AI OS for the past 10 years. When the pandemic hit, “it spotlit the holes in digital learning,” said Ramesh Balan, CEO of Knomadix. “Coupled with Generative AI, this situation accelerated our vision by at least 5 years.”
Knomadix positions itself as a foundational and navigational tool in this new digital terrain, guiding educational leaders and publishers through AI implementation. By offering an AI-driven learning experience design and delivery platform, Knomadix ensures schools are thriving through change. This method provides proactive support and enhances the learning experience without interrupting the flow of education.
AI-supported instructional models act as personalized teaching tools, delivering core content, modifying tasks, and providing real-time feedback based on each student’s performance level. This ability to adapt to each learner’s needs offers several key advantages:
Real-Time Adaptation: AI systems understand where a student is on a proficiency map in real-time and can offer scaffolds to help students meet learning outcomes.
Personalization and Agency: These systems enable personalized learning experiences, giving students greater control over their learning paths.
Targeted Support: AI delivers customized learning recommendations and support based on how students perform on activities and respond to questions.
This system offers a dynamic toolkit that creates guided 1:1 AI-powered tutoring for each lesson, adapting to individual learning speeds and preferences, and facilitating a more personalized educational experience.
One significant advantage of Knomadix is its content-agnostic framework, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any subject area or educational sector. This flexibility is invaluable for educators and curriculum developers, providing tools to create tailored educational experiences for varied learning styles. The platform’s intuitive drag-and-drop authoring tools empower educators to design and deploy multi-modal AI-driven lessons easily.
