BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2024 / As of November 21, 2023, new EdTech startup EduReel is slated to launch, providing a platform that will offer a range of options designed to combat AI-assisted cheating and plagiarism in schools.

This launch marks a crucial step in addressing one of the most pressing challenges in modern education: the rising tide of AI-enabled academic dishonesty. EduReel's introduction comes at a critical time, as the misuse of AI in education threatens to undermine the integrity and value of academic achievements. It provides educators and institutions with advanced tools to prevent AI-assisted plagiarism and is designed to preserve the authenticity of student work so that educational assessments reflect true learning and understanding. This launch is a much-needed response to safeguard the essence of educational accomplishment in the digital age.

Students are increasingly turning to AI to cheat, exploiting its capabilities to bypass traditional learning processes. Utilizing AI-driven tools, they can effortlessly generate essays, solve complex problems, and even conduct research with minimal personal effort or understanding. This form of cheating involves students inputting prompts into AI programs, which then produce sophisticated and seemingly original content. Such misuse of technology undermines the integrity of academic work and hinders genuine skill development and critical thinking. This trend of AI-assisted cheating presents a significant challenge for educators and institutions, as it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between student-created work and AI-generated output, thus threatening the validity and value of educational assessments.

EduReel offers a suite of innovative tools. It enables the generation of unique, AI-powered assessment questions that challenge the boundaries of rote learning and foster critical thinking. A key feature of EduReel is its requirement for students to submit on-the-spot video responses to these questions, ensuring that the responses are personalized and original, truly reflecting the student's understanding of the subject matter. This approach combats the use of AI in cheating and deepens student engagement with the learning material. Additionally, EduReel streamlines the grading process for educators, making the assessment of these video responses both efficient and effective, thus enhancing the overall educational experience and maintaining the integrity of academic assessments.

The platform offers benefits for faculty members, and the company's goal is to reduce grading time by up to 20%, allowing teachers to devote more attention to teaching and interacting with students rather than being burdened by administrative tasks. This efficiency in grading is achieved through EduReel's streamlined video assessment and AI-powered question analysis.

EduReel seeks to accelerate the grading process by up to 30% to further contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of academic assessments. The by-product of a solution like EduReel is improving student communication skills over time.

EduReel was founded by entrepreneur Paul Showemimo, who first noticed the proliferation of AI plagiarism as he earned his MBA at Hult International Business School Boston. His team consists of EdTech developers Stephen Onwe, Constance Oshafi, and Togo Amano.

Before EduReel, Showemimo founded and nurtured three startups, including another EdTech company and a software development firm. His background in business growth, market penetration, and work in the InsurTech sector has given him a well-rounded perspective on how to create and grow a company such as EduReel. Further, his goal in doing so is to maintain the educational integrity that he himself highly prizes.

"As I pursued my MBA, I identified the critical challenge of AI-assisted academic dishonesty and envisioned a solution that led to the birth of EduReel," Showemimo shares. "The platform reflects my desire to preserve the integrity and authenticity of learning in our digital age. I hope that EduReel will actively shape the future of education, as it's backed by my belief in the transformative power of EdTech."
