LessonUp makes it easy to work together with colleagues thanks to two shared folders: the editorial folder and the publication folder.

The editorial folder is the blue folder. Any material placed here is automatically locked, which means other people can’t find or view it in the lesson library.

The publication folder is the red folder. Anything placed here goes live on your channel instantly. If you move or copy a lesson from the editorial folder, you'll receive a notification. You can also create subfolders in the publication folder to better organise your lessons. These subfolders appear under the Lessons tab on your channel. You might group them by topic, education level, or audience: whatever works best for you.

LessonUp is an online teaching platform that makes it easy for educators to create interactive lessons, discover lessons from others, and teach both in the classroom and remotely.The video on the right shows what teachers can do with LessonUp.

A channel in LessonUp is like a mini library. It allows you to share your lesson materials with both LessonUp users and people without an account. This makes it easy to reach a wider audience and offer valuable resources to teachers everywhere.

Artificial Intelligence starts working for you when you clearly indicate what it should do. In computer language, it is called a prompt: the information you provide AI to make it do what you want. You can compare it to entering the right search terms in a search engine like Google. The more specific you are, the better the search results.

Here are some basic guidelines to follow for writing a good prompt that can be used to create a complete lesson basis with educational value:Be clear: Your prompt should be concise and clear. Avoid using complex language or ambiguous phrasing. This will help Maia better understand what you're asking.Be specific: Provide as much context as possible for your prompt. If you're asking a question, be specific about what you're looking for. If you're asking for advice or suggestions, provide as much detail as possible about your situation.Be open-ended: Avoid yes/no questions or prompts that are too specific. Maia works best when it has some flexibility in how it can respond.Use proper grammar and spelling: Maia will better understand your prompt if it is written clearly and without errors.Consider the topic: Maia has a wide range of knowledge, but it's important to consider the topic you're asking about. If your prompt is too far outside of Maia's areas of expertise, it may not be able to provide a useful response.Example 1‘Provide an explanation of the exam question: “Why did King William II decide to change the Constitution in 1848?”’Example 2'Provide examples that demonstrate the application of the Pythagorean theorem in everyday life.'

Maia is your AI assistant embedded in LessonUp. You can use her help to create a lesson structure or interactive assessment features. With the arrival of Maia, you can also easily and relatively quickly prepare a formative assessment by using quiz questions. Maia uses your slides as prompts, so the content of the quiz questions will match your lesson's content.

Step 1.Make a copy of a lesson from which you want to create quiz questions. This is the lesson you will be working in. If you use the original, you may risk accidentally deleting slides.Step 2Select one or more slides from which you want to create quiz questions. Step 3Click on the 'Ask Maia' button.

Formative assessment refers to all activities that teachers perform to understand, interpret, and use student learning activities to make better decisions.

The very first step is to state the learning objectives in the lesson itself. By placing the learning objectives in your slide and discussing them, students know what they are working towards and gain more ownership of their own learning process.Tip: The way learning objectives are formulated is a personal choice, but formulating a learning objective from the student's perspective is often much more powerful: "You can...", or: "I can...".Finally, don't forget to check at the end of the lesson whether the learning objective has been achieved. An exit ticket can help with this! For example, one of the following three:
