A sector-led non-profit empowering the education system to collaborate with data tools and insights.
Open Education AI provides schools and school groups with the infrastructure, data tools and community to help them improve educational outcomes and opportunities.
HOW IT WORKS
Your data in one place
We put schools and school groups in control by bringing their data from different platforms together.
Making your data useable
Our affordable architecture enables your data to be stored, accessed and transformed into a standardised model, ready for analysis.
Sharing tools, sharing benefits
Schools and school groups that are part of OEAI get access to customisable analytical tools that have been developed together with other educators.
Research
We are working to enable schools and school groups to share their data securely and anonymously. This helps researchers unlock system-level insights from bigger datasets with greater accuracy and lower cost.
WHY IT IS NEEDED
"Our trust’s partnership with OEAI has taken our use of data and technology to focus our interventions to a whole different level. The OEAI team has demonstrated the benefit of partnership work without compromising personalisation. This model of shared development of tools is such a refreshing change and there are so many schools who can benefit from this, whether they are already using data insights widely or not.”
Sir Mark Grundy, CEO, Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust
School groups produce vast amounts of data. But most of it is hard to access across multiple platforms.
Bringing data into one place and making it useful for analysis is currently time-consuming and technically challenging.
In a sector that is always being asked to do more with less, data analysis has been seen as prohibitively expensive.
These barriers make it harder for the whole education sector to take advantage of advanced data and AI tools, and in so doing, improve pupils’ outcomes.
Collaborating on Predictive Absence – Inspiration Trust
Like many trusts, Inspiration faced persistent absence rates. They wanted to understand when and why absences were likely, so they could take preventative action. Their journey began with a tool originally built for Dixons Academies Trust, which was adapted for Inspiration’s own context by Edequity AI using the Open Education AI framework.
Each morning, the system generates next-day predictions for every pupil, including likelihoods, explanations, trends and intervention priorities. This has allowed Inspiration to intervene earlier with at-risk pupils and increase attendance. Inspiration is working with OEAI on supporting the human processes that follow prediction and tracking the effectiveness of its interventions, so it can continue to innovate and improve. In addition, by bringing their data into OEAI, Inspiration is helping to build a growing evidence base of what works in practice. Through OEAI’s community, Inspiration benefits from others’ work while contributing its own improvements in return.
