Technology to support digitalization of education

Realizing high-quality education by using ICT and education data

Building a Society Where Each Child’s Learning Growth Is Supported Through Data Utilized from ICT and AI Technologies

As advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) continue to evolve and become increasingly integrated into society, there is a growing demand for their effective application in education. Since 2019, Konica Minolta has been contributing to the resolution of issues in educational settings through its AI technologies, by participating in a demonstration project led by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to promote the use of cutting-edge technologies in schools.

With tomoLinks, our comprehensive solution designed for schools, we promote digital transformation (DX) in education through the integration of educational data and AI. This initiative supports the realization of personalized and optimized learning that ensures no child is left behind, while also helping to reduce the workload of educators and enhance their teaching practices.

Technology Overview

One of the key features of tomoLinks is “Class Diagnosis,” which visualizes classroom dynamics using objective data such as images and audio. This service provides diagnostic reports that summarize the structure and flow of a class based on metrics like teacher-student speech ratio, hand-raising frequency, student posture, eye gaze, and movement within the classroom. These reports help teachers reflect on and improve their instructional methods.

The “Performance Analysis” feature uses students’ academic data to identify individual strengths and areas for improvement. It delivers predictive learning scenarios and customized “prescriptions” for growth, enabling teachers to better understand each student’s learning trends by subject and topic, and to respond with targeted support during classroom activities.

These tools together enhance both the quality of instruction and the learning experience, contributing to a more responsive and inclusive education system that supports diverse learners through personalized learning tailored to each child’s unique characteristics.
