to-teach is an AI-powered educational platform designed to assist teachers in creating lesson plans, exercises, and worksheets tailored to different subjects and student proficiency levels based on the use of AI. It works by allowing educators to input prompts, texts, documents, websites, YouTube videos, etc., which are then transformed into teaching materials such as vocabulary and grammar exercises (e.g., fill-in-the-gap, multiple-choice, flashcards), mind maps, reading comprehension materials (e.g., glossary maker, text simplifier), presentations, etc.
The “Subjects” section allows teachers to access over 800 personalizable worksheets in five different languages, organized according to different skills and academic subjects.
Outputs are compatible with H5P for integration into learning management systems.
to-teach is now part of the company 101skills GmbH, which developed fobizz too.
