Missed the TeacherMatic Autumn Community Webinar 2025 or need a recap? Here it is!

In the latest webinar, we showcased how AI-powered tools are being used to strengthen teaching quality, reduce workload and improve learner support in the education sector. In fact, educators from North America, Europe, Africa and Asia are now using TeacherMatic to support teaching and learning in more than 20 languages.

With platform updates, new generators, practitioner insights and a timely session on AI governance, the webinar explored how institutions can adopt it safely and effectively.

Platform Updates: New AI features that reduce workload and improve workflow

The TeacherMatic Development Team began with a tour of recent enhancements, including the release of the Moodle plugin, now available on Moodle.org.

Educators can export multiple choice questions, short answer questions or PDF and Word resources directly from TeacherMatic into Moodle courses or question banks, which enables seamless integration with existing workflows and reduces duplication of work.

Other improvements included:

• More reliable Word and PDF exports.
• Better table formatting.
• The ability to use age-appropriate fonts for younger learners.
• Improved support for both portrait and landscape layouts.

One of the most anticipated updates was the preview of image support across flashcards, presentations and exports.

Now, TeacherMatic provides Creative Commons image suggestions so users can replace them with AI-generated images using custom keywords if needed.

“Image generation is something that we’ve been taking very seriously partly because we know about the environmental cost of image generation.”

The team also discussed upcoming developments that will significantly expand TeacherMatic’s capabilities, including:

• Bulk upload for the Feedback generator.
• PDF annotation for marking.
• Improved handling of handwritten work.
• A new onboarding system that allows institutions to set global preferences.
• Also, audio generation, linked generators and enhanced multilingual support will soon be rolled out.

TeacherMatic demonstrations: New AI generators designed for real teaching needs

We demonstrated several new and enhanced generators, like the Feedback Generator (Multiple Submissions), enabling you to upload several pieces of student work at once.

This feature was created directly in response to community demand and supports up to five uploads in the current Beta version, with higher capacity on the way. 

“Personally identifiable information is handled differently in different organisations.”

The Lesson Ideas generator has also recently been added, which was one of the most frequently requested generators by teachers.

This creates structured teaching activities based on subject, level, age group and context. Educators can request formats such as debates, role play or paired work. Each idea includes guidance, resources and learning alignment.

“People have often said to me as we’ve chatted over things, “Can we have a generator that just gives us ideas for lessons?””

The new Roles Filter is also available, which helps users find generators most relevant to their role including teachers, assessors, administrators, senior leaders and wider support staff.

“It also gives you some idea of how TeacherMatic more than just supports teaching.”

Practitioner Showcase: How Stanmore College embedded TeacherMatic across its curriculum

Mafa Ardestani, Teaching and Learning Manager at Stanmore College, shared how the college embedded TeacherMatic as part of a wider digital innovation and inclusion approach.

Stanmore College first introduced TeacherMatic in February 2024 to reduce workload, improve planning and strengthen assessment design. By June 2025, more than 50 active users were generating over 20 resources per month on average.

The most used tools included the:

• PowerPoint generator.
• Scheme of Work generator.
• Feedback generator.
• Multiple Choice Quiz generator.

Staff reported saving between seven and ten hours each month which they were able to reinvest into mentoring, differentiation and coaching.

A key priority for Stanmore College was inclusion.

Mafa explained how TeacherMatic helped teachers scaffold activities for SEND and EHCP learners more effectively. The college also integrated TeacherMatic into induction and CPD to ensure consistent understanding of responsible AI use.

Mafa shared examples of how newer teachers used the platform to build confidence with planning, and how experienced teachers used it to refine schemes of work and create tailored support resources.

The result was improved consistency across departments and a more cohesive teaching culture.

“TeacherMatic has been able to remove some of that barrier and allowed me to develop these plans in a much faster way.

When I first started using TeacherMatic it made me realise that there is a lot more that I can do in a shorter amount of time.

It has helped a lot of new teachers that have recently joined the college as well because it helps them build their confidence.”

Stanmore College has since achieved the TeacherMatic Gold Organisational Award for its innovative and responsible use of the platform.

AI Governance and Ethics: What institutions need to know

Martin Peoples, who specialises in AI ethics, compliance and governance in education, explained that most colleges and universities now have some form of AI policy in place, but many are still developing the expertise needed to manage future risks. He outlined the UK’s current approach to AI regulation, which focuses on sector specific governance rather than a single, centralised ‘AI law.’

Martin further highlighted that GDPR remains central, particularly when prompts include personal information or when AI tools process identifiable content. Academic integrity, copyright issues and the implications of using generative AI in assessment and resource creation were discussed, along with international developments, such as the EU’s AI Act.

An important topic raised was the transparency of communication with learners when AI is used and the importance of human involvement in all high-level decision-making.

The ultimate takeaway from this session was for institutions to adopt strong governance practices early so they remain compliant and protected as legislation evolves.

“One of the things that is important is that it is the human choice to use or not use the assignment. It is not an AI choice.

The UK approach is that we have a sector based regulator approach rather than a centralised regulator for AI.

If you are prompting a model with personal data then you are within the scope of GDPR.”

Training, support and next steps for educators using AI

The support didn’t stop there…

At the end of the webinar, we shared the support available to help institutions build confidence and scale responsible use of TeacherMatic, including:

• The free certified Getting Started with TeacherMatic course.
• The ADKAR based Rollout Strategy Guide.
• Monthly Deep Dive Wednesdays webinars.
• Bespoke CPD and training sessions.
• Ongoing updates through the blog, newsletter and community channels.

We encourage educators to continue sharing feedback and examples of best practice as these directly shape new generators and platform enhancements.

“Much of this is thanks to the feedback we receive directly from you, our community.”
