Nolej AI Review – Features, Pros, and Cons

---

According to Bodo Hoenen, the educational world uses 200 billion dollars to develop educational material manually. Among this material, 98 percent is static and linear while 2 percent is dynamic and interactive. The question is: Why this lower percentage of interactive material? 

Because, creating engaging content is time-consuming, frustrating, and takes almost 15,000 dollars per hour. It is natural for the educational world to avoid creating interactive content.

But, this lack of dynamic educational material is taking a toll on educators and students. Teachers struggle to grab the attention of students in the classroom, and learners find it difficult to digest the static information. Moreover, the static educational content is mostly one-size-fits-all. This doesn't resonate with a lot of learners around the globe. 

In this situation, the educational world is in desperate need of affordable, less time-consuming interactive learning material. To help them, Bodo Hoenen and his team created the Nolej AI educational platform.

What is it and how is it helping educators around the globe? Let's discuss it in this blog.

Key Features of Nolej AI

Interactive Education Activities in Short Time

Creating interactive digital lessons typically takes teachers almost 40 to 50 hours. However, with Nolej AI, this process can be completed within a few moments. Simply go through the content and choose the one you trust the most- any website URL, video, document, text, or audio file.

In response, it will provide you with a ready-to-send micro-learning digital lesson containing more than 15 activities. It includes:

Videos: These interactive videos contain pop-ups, quizzes, informative texts, and guides embedded into them.

Quizzes: It can generate formative and graded quizzes from the content.

Glossary: You can get the glossary of all difficult terms in it.

Flashcards: Concept cards and flashcards can help in retaining information, and pinpointing the special educational points.

Games: There are various kinds of games generated from the content, resonating with the learning objectives the educator set.

Teachers Resources: Educators can have suggestions of how to teach the specific concept or content to students in the classroom.

Teachers in the Driving Seat

Every educator is reluctant to use generative AI technology for creating educational material because AI is unreliable. You don't know if artificial intelligence is creating content according to students’ requirements or not.

To address this issue, Nolej AI has given full control to teachers. It provides you with a preview of the content that you should read and edit before sharing it with students. You can add learning objectives and customize other aspects to align the content with your learners’ needs.

Moreover, unlike other Generative AI tools that take content from the internet, this tool relies on the input you give it 

Easy to Use Interface

A lot of users agree that Nolej’s interface is simple and easy to use. One Learning Designer expresses surprise at how straightforward the platform is. Other users also agree that Nolej AI is a “giant shortcut”.

Gamification 

Gamification is a crucial aspect of modern classrooms. It is the tested and proven strategy to help students learn and retain information. That's why, Nolej makes sure to add various gamification aspects in the activities. There are crosswords, puzzles, drag and drop, and other gamification activities in digital lessons. These games attract students and they become more eager to learn.

Personalization

You can personalize each and every lesson with the help of some customization settings. It includes adding learning objectives to help students achieve something at the end of each lesson.

Moreover, Nolej acknowledges every learner is unique. Everyone in one classroom has a different reading level, so teachers can adjust the reading level accordingly.

Multi-lingual 

Nolej AI is not limited to one language but has multiple languages in the interface to reach a global audience, including English, French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.

Integration with LMS Platforms

Nolej AI is highly compatible, working with a wide range of popular eLearning platforms. It includes Google Classroom, Moodle, Schoology, Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace. You can make the interactive learning activities a part of your existing LMS system, making it accessible in online and physical classrooms.

Learner Dashboard

There is a learner dashboard for educators in Nolej AI. This dashboard helps teachers to see the progress of students, enabling them to pinpoint where students are stuck and which learning material they have covered. These insights help them in making an educated decision.

What is Nolej LX?

This company is also working on a tool, called Nolej LX, geared toward self-directed learning. These learners can set a learning goal with Nolej LX, and this tool will provide them with a roadmap of how to achieve those learning goals. It provides material and maps out all the nodes of learning necessary to cobble together the topic’s understanding. It also connects the learners with top educators around the globe to teach the learners the concept.

You can learn those concepts from this tool whose curriculum is not even present in the world. At this moment, it is in the alpha testing set and soon will be released for the general audience.
