Responsible AI

Which AI models does Madlen use?
We combine leading models such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. These models never interact directly with teachers or students. Before any response reaches the classroom, it passes through a filtering layer that Madlen has designed for safety and pedagogical suitability.
Is student data safe?
Absolutely. No student data is ever shared with third parties, sold, or used to train AI models. Data is visible only to teachers and school administrators. Read our Privacy Policy →
Which regulations does Madlen comply with?
The platform meets UK GDPR and EU GDPR requirements. All of our tools run on Infercom, Europe's first sovereign AI infrastructure provider. This means data is processed on servers in Germany, within EU borders, and is never transferred to the US. The infrastructure is certified to the ISO 27001:2022 standard. For international school partnerships, we also align with the local regulations of each country. Read more about our data policy →
What happens if the AI produces inappropriate content for students?
Madlen's filtering layers automatically block inappropriate output. School administrators can review every interaction on the platform retrospectively. We update our content policies regularly to keep everything classroom-appropriate. For real classroom experiences, take a look at our Case Studies page.

Lesson Planning & Content Creation

How can I edit my lesson plans?
You can view the lesson plans you've created under the Lesson Planning tab and update their content however you like.
How do I use the content creation tools?
Madlen's Toolbox brings together more than 56 tools in one place. From composing music to producing podcasts, from building worksheets to scripting dialogues, from digital twins to interactive materials, there's a tool for every stage of the lesson. You can take the output of one tool and refine it in another, reshaping content to match your own class's level.
Can I share content with my students through Madlen?
Yes. You can share the lesson plans, content, and activities you create with your students.

Assessment & Marking

What formats can I use when creating assessments?
Madlen supports a range of question types, including multiple choice, open-ended, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and matching. You can also generate context-based questions that measure how well a student applies knowledge in an unfamiliar situation. If you want to work with the National Curriculum, the alignment mode links each question to the relevant learning objective, so you can see at a glance which question measures which objective and balance your assessment against the curriculum.
How can I track student progress?
You can track your students' progress from the Student Analytics tab. Beyond assessment results, you can see each student's work on the platform, their question-by-question performance, and their progress at the objective level through charts and detailed analytics. There's also a separate admin panel for school leaders, where they can monitor school-wide usage and class- and teacher-level performance on a single screen.
How do I create AI-resistant assignments?
With the AI-Resistant Assignment Ideas tool, you can create original assignments that encourage analytical and critical thinking.
