CAPPI AI for Teachers, Parents and High School Learners 📱

Описание: Dr. Karen Walstra, Tim Holiday (Creator: Maze Education), and Glenn du Toit (Acer Africa) will discuss CAPPI AI for teachers, parents, and high school learners, including ACER's involvement.

The live stream is Wednesday, 20 May 2026, from 19:00 - 19:45 on LinkedIN, Facebook, and YouTube. Cappi AI is a curriculum-aligned assistant designed to slash admin time and bring CAPS-focused innovation to South African classrooms.

Cappi (developed by CapsGPT) is a South African AI assistant aligned with CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) and IEB (Independent Examinations Board) frameworks. Unlike generic tools like ChatGPT, it is "grounded" in South African curriculum documents, ensuring it understands SA-specific grade requirements, term structures, and terminology.

Key Features for Teachers:
CAPS & IEB Toggle: Switches output to match specific assessment styles, including the IEB’s focus on cognitive weighting and "unseen" context questions.
Instant Lesson Planning: Generates structured lesson plans for Grade R to 12, including objectives, activities, and Annual Teaching Plans (ATPs)-aligned assessments.
Assessment & Rubric Generator: Creates tests, worksheets, and rubrics, specifically helping with required cognitive weighting for formal assessments.
Language Support: Primary support is English and Afrikaans, with AI-assisted translation for all other official South African languages.
Source Citations: Provides citations showing the exact curriculum document or page number for accuracy and trust.
How It Works (Teacher Portal):
Select Grade/Phase (Foundation, Intermediate, Senior, or FET) and Subject.
Input requirements naturally (e.g., "Create a Grade 9 Math lesson plan on Geometry for Term 2.").
Generate, refine the draft, and Export content as PDF or Word for sharing.
Specialised "Think-First" Learner Protocol:
For learners (Grades 8–12), Cappi uses a Socratic method. Instead of giving direct answers, it:
Probes knowledge.
Scaffolds with hints/analogies.
Confirms understanding by asking the student to explain the concept back.
Cappi for Parents helps with homework and exam prep, maintaining Socratic foundations but treating the user as a parent, not a student. It allows a single subscription to load individual kid profiles for seamless switching.

Security and Compliance:
The system is POPIA Compliant and includes safety protocols with South African emergency numbers (e.g., Childline SA) for mental health or safety risks.

Access Cappi at www.cappi.co.za, which offers tiers including a free "Learner Portal" and dedicated "Teacher Portals".
