How RevolutionEd Uses AI & Algorithms

We believe you should understand how our learning tools work. This page explains, in plain language, every place RevolutionEd uses artificial intelligence or an automatic decision — what it does, what information it uses, and the human oversight and choices you have. We provide this disclosure so families, students, and schools can make informed choices (Texas SCOPE Act, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code ch. 509 — advertising & algorithm disclosure, § 509.055).

The short version: our AI features assist a teacher — they do not make any solely-automated decision that has a legal or similarly significant effect about a student. A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate AI-generated content, and where a feature makes an automatic decision, a school can opt a student out in favor of teacher-set values. We do not use these algorithms for targeted advertising, and we do not sell student data.

Adaptive reading-level progression Automatic decision

Reading level advances automatically based on assessment results (analyzed with AI — Google Gemini). A teacher can review and override it, and a school can opt a student out of automatic progression in favor of teacher-set levels.

  • Is it an automatic decision? Yes — and a teacher can override it, and a school can opt a student out of it.
  • Information it uses: vocabulary + comprehension assessment performance + grade → reading level (performance data analyzed by Gemini; no direct identifiers sent)
  • How it works / provider: Google (with internal deterministic fallback) (gemini-3.6-flash (fallback: internal heuristic))
  • Human oversight: admt opt outable
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

AI tutor / reflection chat Assists a teacher

You are chatting with an AI assistant (Google Gemini). It can make mistakes — check important information. Conversations are visible to your teacher.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: student-typed chat text + lesson/IEP context
  • How it works / provider: Google (gemini-3.6-flash)
  • Human oversight: advisory

AI-assisted literacy grading (expression-of-ideas + pronunciation) Assists a teacher

Some practice modules are scored with AI assistance (Google Gemini), which suggests a provisional score. A teacher reviews and approves or changes it before it counts — trophies and reading level are applied only after that review.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: student module responses (expression-of-ideas argumentation transcript; pronunciation feedback) → provisional 0.0–1.0 ai_score pending teacher review (vocab/comprehension are scored deterministically, no AI)
  • How it works / provider: Google (gemini-3.5-flash-lite)
  • Human oversight: human in the loop
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

Learning-narrative character & scene media generation Assists a teacher

Character and scene art is AI-generated (Google Gemini). Review it before sharing; you can regenerate or replace it.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: optional student-provided photo (content analysis only) + prompts
  • How it works / provider: Google Gemini (image/vision) + Google Gemini (TTS; ElevenLabs decommissioned 2026-07-13) (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image (art) + TTS)
  • Human oversight: human in the loop
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

Lesson individualization (IEP / accommodation aware) Assists a teacher

This lesson adaptation was drafted with AI (Google Gemini). AI can make mistakes — review and edit it before use. You can edit, reject, or regenerate it.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: lesson content + Student/Cohort.custom_notes (IEP/accommodations)
  • How it works / provider: Google (gemini-3.1-flash-lite)
  • Human oversight: human in the loop
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

MakeIT Secure social-engineering simulation Assists a teacher

This is a teacher-configured cybersecurity-awareness simulation with an AI character (Google Gemini). It is a practice exercise; results are reviewed by your teacher and are not a disciplinary record.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: student chat responses in a teacher-configured safety simulation → security score
  • How it works / provider: Google (gemini-3.6-flash)
  • Human oversight: human in the loop
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

Pronunciation assessment (spoken-sentence scoring) Assists a teacher

Pronunciation feedback is generated automatically by AI (Microsoft Azure AI Speech) and is formative only — it is not a grade and your teacher sees and interprets the results.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: child voice (transient, never stored) → accuracy/fluency scores
  • How it works / provider: Microsoft Azure AI Speech (scoring) + Google Gemini (feedback) (PronunciationAssessmentConfig)
  • Human oversight: advisory

Read-aloud passage narration (text-to-speech) Assists a teacher

Reading passages and word pronunciations are read aloud by an AI text-to-speech voice (Google Gemini). Your voice is not recorded, and nothing is scored.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: none — the reading passage / keyword text (teacher & curriculum content, no student PII) is synthesized into narration audio the student listens to; the student only marks the section complete. NO child voice is captured and nothing is scored (contrast F2 pronunciation, the actual voice scorer).
  • How it works / provider: Google Gemini (text-to-speech) (gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview)
  • Human oversight: advisory

SAT / assessment AI question generation Assists a teacher

Practice questions are AI-generated (Google Gemini) and may contain errors. An educator reviews them; they are practice aids, not an official grade.

  • Is it an automatic decision? No — it assists a teacher and is never the sole basis of a decision.
  • Information it uses: assessment type / grade / standard (no direct student PII)
  • How it works / provider: Google (gemini-3.6-flash)
  • Human oversight: human in the loop
  • A teacher can review, edit, reject, or regenerate this output.

We use a teacher's professional judgment for anything that affects a student, and we apply data minimization (we collect only what the lesson needs). For the full picture of what we collect and your rights, see our Privacy Policy. Students can also read the plain-language Your Privacy notice.
