How I read this case
In education the interesting case is not the one that does homework faster: it is the one that gives time back to the teacher. Marking, preparing material, spotting who is falling behind. When a case measures learning rather than tool usage, there is usually somebody serious behind it.
The three questions
- Whether it measures learning or only how many people used the tool.
- What it gives back to the teacher in concrete hours of their week.
- How a minor's data is handled and who authorised it.
