BEAVER, Pa. and SUNNYVALE, Calif./PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence begins to disrupt curriculum development, Lincoln Learning Solutions and Professor Jim are positioning themselves at the forefront of the emerging education space with today's announcement of their partnership and the launch of two innovations available immediately.
“Our collaboration with Professor Jim has already shown promising results, improving the pace of creation and expanding our content offerings,” said Charles Thayer, chief academic officer at Lincoln Learning Solutions. “We are excited to offer these innovative tools to our partner schools, enabling teachers to create more engaging and effective learning environments.”
The partnership presents several key offerings:
- ai Slide Assistant and ai Assessment Assistant: Customizable tools designed to align with school districts' specific preferences and requirements, making it easy to create custom slideshows and assessments.
- ai Video Assistant: This tool revolutionizes the way educators can deliver instruction, allowing the creation of videos that feature an ai version of the teacher, historical figures like Ben Franklin, or other characters to improve engagement and lesson effectiveness.
“This ai technology allows educators to bring lessons to life in ways previously unimaginable,” said Pranav Mehta, CTO and co-founder of Prof Jim. “Without having to own a studio, teachers can use their own ai avatar to deliver their lessons, and can include historical cameos (from the likes of Jane Austen, Pythagoras, or George Washington Carver) to teach and serve as role models.”
An integral part of this initiative is the Lincoln Content Bank, an award-winning multimodal educational content library that equips teachers with nearly 110,000 highly vetted learning resources that they can configure and assemble to meet the needs of their students. The team intends to use this as a curricular basis for these ai tools; therefore, the co-offer is based on trusted and vetted content, unlike many other ai edtech offerings.
Lincoln Learning is also working with Professor Jim to create an ai tutoring product. It is in development and is scheduled for release at the beginning of the 2024-25 school year.
“As more and more studies reveal that tutoring is essential to raising student confidence and success, especially after the pandemic, we believe this is a tool that educators will welcome with open arms,” said the director commercial and development at Lincoln Learning Solutions. Dr. Rachel Book said.
The team hopes to have the first wave of ai-assisted tools in classrooms before the end of the 2023-24 school year.

About Professor Jim
Professor Jim Inc equips organizations with ai-powered instructional tools. In the coming years, ai will revolutionize learning by increasing quality, increasing personalization, and leveraging easy translations, all while dramatically reducing costs. However, technical obstacles and the high cost of expertise prevent many organizations from accessing the benefits of ai. Professor Jim partners with these organizations to create dynamic learning materials, interactive videos, and assessments using his proprietary ai. Research indicates that Professor Jim's ai increases the efficiency of content creation by 3 to 15 times, improves learning outcomes by up to 15%, and increases student engagement by 25%.
