Elevate your training programs with AI: The Enterprise LMAiS enhances engagement, streamlines assessments, coaches language learners, and supercharges your courses, students and instructors.
AI has become a transformative tool for both teaching and learning. Here’s how AI in the Enterprise LMAiS can transform your courses, from management and compliance training to workplace language instruction, and benefit your instructors and students.
Teaching a Topic Convincingly
As a teaching assistant for a human instructor, AI can emulate the real instructor’s methods by interacting with students using leading questions. This approach encourages critical thinking and deeper understanding. The AI can manage discussions, guide debates toward course objectives, and adapt to the unique needs of each student, providing personalized instruction that mimics the nuances of human teaching. In language courses, the AI Language Coach acts as a patient tutor, modelling pronunciation in a choice of voice and speed and translating text on demand.

AI is not best in replacing a human instructor. AI is best when used to augment a human instructor.
Managing Group Discussions and FAQs
AI systems can efficiently manage group discussions and FAQ forums. By analyzing previous interactions, AI can provide accurate and timely responses, keeping discussions on track and ensuring that common queries are addressed promptly. This capability frees up instructors to focus on more complex teaching tasks and helps maintain an engaging and informative learning environment.

Answering Content Questions
Students often have numerous questions about course content. AI can handle these inquiries swiftly and accurately, offering detailed explanations and additional resources as needed. This immediate support helps students stay on track with their studies and fosters a more interactive and responsive learning experience. Language learners can select any word or sentence in a lesson and ask the AI to explain or translate it.
Online AI is available for questions 24/7. Human instructors can easily monitor the questions and answers, ensuring student satisfaction, while guiding the AI.
Marking Free Text and Spoken Answers
Grading free text responses can be time-consuming for instructors. AI can assist by evaluating these answers based on predefined criteria, providing consistent and unbiased feedback. This automated grading helps ensure timely assessments, allowing students to quickly understand their performance and areas needing improvement. In language courses, students can answer out loud. The AI transcribes the spoken answer and gives feedback on meaning, grammar and pronunciation.
A human instructor can intervene anytime and over-ride a mark given by AI, then satisfy the student with a corrective explanation, and take corrective action by guiding the AI for future similar situations.
Reviewing Test Results
AI can analyze test results, identifying patterns and trends in student performance. This analysis can lead to personalized study recommendations and encouragement, helping students focus on areas where they need the most improvement. By providing targeted feedback, AI supports students in their academic growth and development. For language learners, this means pinpointing the specific words and sounds each student finds difficult.
AI can alert human teachers and supervisors to student performance challenges.
Running Scenarios and Rating Performance
Simulated scenarios are an effective way to assess student understanding and application of knowledge. AI can run these scenarios, rate student performance, and offer detailed feedback. This capability allows for more dynamic and practical assessments, giving students hands-on experience and real-time evaluation. Language students use the same approach to role-play real workplace conversations.
Sample Role-Playing Scenario: Handling a Serious Sexual Harassment Complaint
Realistic role-playing scenarios are engaging, challenging, and also fun. Both for the students and human instructors, who can easily read the transcript of a played-out scenario to bring out teaching points.
Knowing Student Performance Stats
AI systems can track and store all student interactions, creating a comprehensive record of performance stats. This data is invaluable for generating detailed report cards for supervisors. The reports can highlight a student’s level of effort, strengths, and weaknesses, providing a clear overview of their progress and areas needing attention.
AI can quickly and conveniently write a report card for every student. After an easy review by a human instructor, this information can be provided to the student or the student’s employer.
Teaching Languages for the Workplace
The Enterprise LMAiS powers BEVA LMAiS®, a workplace language training program for new immigrants and other language beginners, developed with BEVA Learning Institute. For each industry, AI builds the program around about 500 key vocabulary words and realistic work situations, such as Personal Support Worker, Pharmacy Assistant and Office Administration / Finance. Students study at their own pace and join small-group online sessions led by expert language coaches. Programs are available in English (ESL), French (FSL) and other languages.
AI provides unlimited practice and instant feedback. Human coaches build confidence and real conversation skills.
Coaching Pronunciation
With the AI Language Coach, students hear any phrase, sentence or paragraph in their choice of voice and speed, then record their own voice. The AI returns an instant pronunciation score, colour-codes each word, and breaks the result down sound by sound. Students can also translate any text and ask the AI questions about it.
Students see exactly which words or sounds need more practice, such as “ch” or “counter”, and can practise them as often as they need.
Assessing Spoken Answers
With Spoken Answer Assessment, students answer quiz questions out loud, in their own words, just like in a real conversation. The AI transcribes the answer, gives feedback on meaning, grammar and pronunciation, and awards the quiz point once the answer meets the objective. Students can try again until they are confident, then save their best answer.
Recordings and results are saved, so the human coach can replay the student’s answers in the next coaching session.
Supporting Student Progress
AI monitors study time, quiz results and progress, sends reminders to keep students on track, and writes weekly coaching messages that target each student’s difficulties, such as: “You seem to have difficulty with the word ‘counter’. Let’s practise it together.”
Students who complete the program receive a digital badge and report card they can share with employers.
