AI is revolutionizing the creation of learning materials
Advanced AI technology provides a new way to create and modify learning materials. Teacher-created materials are combined with an intelligent learning assistant that recognizes the individual needs and learning styles of each student. This enables a personalized learning path where the material adapts to the student's progress, strengths, and challenges.
Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness for Teaching and Learning
OnEdu AI is the most advanced learning experience platform on the market, combining modern technology.
It enables the creation of immersive and collaborative courses, as well as efficient learning through safe artificial intelligence.
The environment is designed to support the success of both teachers and students in digital learning.
AI-Assisted
OnEdu AI is a pioneer in AI-based learning - the first learning environment where AI features are built directly into the core of the system.
Reliability and security are of the utmost importance to us. We use Microsoft Azure service center in Stockholm, Sweden. To ensure data security, data is never used to train AI language models.
Our services meet all strict EU AI Act requirements for educational use, both in terms of data privacy and the use of AI.
Highly versatile
OnEdu AI stands out in the market as a unique learning environment designed specifically for experiential and collaborative learning.
All the most important functionalities are pre-integrated into the system, making it smooth and effortless to use.
The system offers over 70 interactive tools to enliven learning materials. The H5P tools work seamlessly within the system without separate licensing fees.
OnEdu AI includes two revolutionary AI features: an intelligent course builder (AI Course Creator) and a student's personal, voice-controlled AI assistant.
Cost-effective
OnEdu AI helps schools save money by making learning and teaching more efficient. Teachers save time because they can quickly create and share materials for different students' needs. This means schools spend less on staffing costs and licenses.
The AI assistant helps save even more money by handling basic tasks automatically. It helps students 24/7, which means fewer students need extra help or catch-up classes. Schools get their money's worth because the system helps everyone work smarter and learn better.
A Secure Solution
OnEdu AI is a pioneer in education technology, being the first learning environment to fully integrate AI capabilities directly into its core platform. Our security infrastructure is built on Microsoft Azure's Stockholm data center, providing European data residency and military-grade encryption. As a Microsoft Silver Partner since 2020, our development team at Mobie Oy works directly with Microsoft's Finnish technical team to ensure optimal security integration.
We offer flexible data hosting solutions that prioritize security: institutions can choose between hosting in their own Azure environment or in our ISO 27001-certified Azure servers in Stockholm. Our system strictly complies with GDPR, the EU AI Act, and local Finnish education data privacy requirements. We provide comprehensive documentation including Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) and regular third-party security audits. Importantly, all student data remains within the EU, and we never use educational data to train AI models, ensuring complete privacy and compliance with European educational standards.
