ExplainEd Classroom Presentations: The entire Australian Curriculum 'explained'...
...in customised, 30-minute, class-ready or individual student-ready, interactive, multi-modal webcasts (lessons).
Educator-designed • AI-assembled • Teacher-supervised

Within an hour, you can 'stream' an affordable, class-ready, (or student-differentiated) curriculum-aligned lesson presentation (i.e. a 30-40 minute professionally presented and student workbook-supported, interactive multimedia lesson) directly into a TV or device in your classroom...AND have an expert in this subject's content knowledge standing by to answer those inevitable ‘questions’ from students.
“eLearningLabs deliver ExplainEd lessons...30-minute, curriculum-aligned and specifically differentiated lesson presentations webstreamed directly into the classroom... on-demand, measurable, affordable, and accountable, with virtually no prep and no specialist teacher required. Each presentation blends explicit teaching with the same engaging techniques that power today’s most compelling media programming... gamified, socialised, competitive, and fun... so students stay engaged, teachers stay supported, and schools stay on track.”

ExplainEd lessons are customised for your students (with individual adjustments as required), evidence-based and engineered for a digital generation...perfect for relief/supply classes when a subject-specialist isn't available or for individually differentiated lessons for when a Learning Support specialist isn't available.

"Of course, it’s not as good as having their real specialist teacher in class, but it’s probably the next best thing."

What are ExplainEd Presentations?

ExplainEd Classroom Presentations are 30 to 35-minute interactive multi-media lesson presentations, designed specifically for your students and covering the Achievement Standards for the entire Australian Curriculum v9 for Years 7 to 10 as well as all senior studies (requiring approved Lesson Plan) subjects. That's right, full classroom lessons pumped into your classroom TV or into individual student devices...combining a mix of TED-Talk-style guest-lectures, interactivity and practical challenges, game shows, documentaries, historical dramas, demonstrator workshops, animated comedies, simple fully-narrated slideshow presentations, social-media posts, news desk-style reports, contests and competitions, international mysteries and intrigue, musical or dramatic performances, workshops and written tasks...designed, produced and presented just for your students.

"With the help of a live A.I. production pipeline, the curriculum comes alive! ...and it's all there at your fingertips, whenever you need it!"

Each subject area has it's own 'ExplainEd channel'...each channel is named after its relevant subject area, so there's English ExplainEd, Maths ExplainEd, Science ExplainEd, The Arts ExplainEd, Humanities & Social Studies ExplainEd, Technology ExplainEd, HPE ExplainEd, etc. Since each 'channel' has a different focus and different communication context, they each have their own formats and rely on different media presentation styles and character-presenters. Depending on your intended audience (an individual student or a classroom of students), a single lesson could have a range of hosts and presenters including reporters, industry experts, news presenters, journalists, scientists, artists and performers, cartoon characters, travel log reporters, game show hosts, sports coaches, interschool gamers...and whatever else is needed to achieve the lesson's learning goals and obtain the relevant analytical data for the school.

"They're lessons Jim...but not as we know them."

WILL ExplainEd REPLACE TEACHERS?
No! We think ExplainEd might be the smartest teaching resource ever developed, but it’s still just a teaching resource.It’s like having your own team of subject-specialists standing-by to live-stream a curriculum-aligned lesson directly into your classroom.
- It will deliver a well-sequenced and engaging online lesson/tutorial on whatever subject* and at whatever curriculum level* your students require…whenever they require it.
- It will consider every lesson, like a real teacher does, as part of an organic learning experience, not just a static, inflexible ‘chapter in a book’.
- It will react instantly to how the lesson is being received and ‘learns’ about your students and how they achieve confidence and mastery of the curriculum.
- It will provide transparent feedback to the school on its own performance and the achieved student outcomes of the lesson.
- It can be steered by asking it to cover your own lesson/unit plans or you can throw it open and just select the curriculum codes, content descriptions, elaborations, general capabilities, cross-curriculum-priorities of the AC v9 that you want covered.
- It will stay online after the lesson podcast to answer questions. (Very helpful.)
- It employs gamification, humour and prides itself on its lessons being ‘engaging’ for students.
- It’s lessons are native UDL-compliant (making it an excellent differentiation tool to support students with disabilities) in fact, the two sides of this coin…either (i) creating ‘nuanced instruction’ for students with supplementary and/or substantial learning needs so the teacher can efficiently integrate this additional support for those students in the class or (ii) creating broader ‘general lessons’ for the class giving the teacher more time to individually support students with specific needs…is where ExplainEd offers its greatest benefit.
There are seven professional standards of teaching in Australia [AITSL]. As helpful as ExplainEd lessons are, they really only support schools across two of those standards. (Standard 1: Know students and how they learn and Standard 2: Know the content and how to teach it.) In spite of the fact that it is capable of supporting schools to a proficient or perhaps even highly accomplished level within those two specific standards, it is completely incapable of delivering across the broader duties and responsibilities of teachers like Student Welfare and Pastoral Care responsibilities, Supervision and Duty of Care obligations, Administrative and Professional Tasks, Collaboration and Leadership or broader Professional Responsibilities.

* What about practical lessons — can ExplainEd support schools with ‘hands-on’ or ‘production’ skills in subjects like HPE, the Arts, Science, Languages and Technology?
Short answer: ‘No - not really’. Though there is typically a very important theoretical or knowledge component associated with every practical, performance, modelling or production skill (which ExplainEd can of course assist with), the duty of care and safety risks associated with actual physical activity means that ExplainEd lessons are not appropriate for these types of activities unless they were being carefully supervised by an appropriately-trained professional. [You will notice that ExplainEd’s Online Booking Form doesn’t allow potentially unsafe lessons to be booked.]
WHAT ARE EXPLAINED LESSONS USED FOR?

• For Admin: A high school teacher is absent and they've left work (maybe even a Lesson Plan or Unit Plan) but you don't have an available relief or supply teacher who has any experience teaching this subject/year level? No problem. Take two minutes to book an ExplainEd Classroom Presentation then just ask the relief/supply teacher(s) that you do have available, to supervise the class and launch the ExplainEd presentation on the classroom TV/monitor. The ExplainEd presentation will do the explicit teaching of this topic (Content Descriptions, UDL (Universal Design for Learning), Cognitive Verbs, etc.,) and engage the class with interactive workbooks.
• For Teachers: Want to provide your class with a 30-minute explicit teaching package mapped to the curriculum or your own lesson plan, so that you can focus on extension and differentiation? Or maybe your entire class would benefit from evidence-based adjustments in content, delivery, scaffolding or lesson structure? No problem. Upload your lesson plan or select the relevant AC v9 Topic associated with this subject/year level, add your class' Adjustment Requirements, print out the provided Student Workbooks and lock in your ExplainEd Lesson Presentation for the required time. Your class is engaged in the program for 30 minutes...you monitor their progress and review the ExplainEd Summary Outcomes Report.
• For Learning Support and Inclusion Coordinators: Want to deliver more evidence-based individual adjustments in content, delivery, scaffolding or lesson structure for the students in your school who would benefit from it? No problem. Upload each students' de-identified Individual Adjustment Plans for each subject, print out the provided Student Workbooks and download/save your ExplainEd Individual Differentiation Lessons for each student for each day. The student engages with the interactive material at a convenient time...you monitor their progress and review the ExplainEd Summary Outcomes Report to be stored in the school's appropriate system for NCCD Data collection as well as assessment and normal feedback/reflection purposes.
• For Principals: Want to keep learning on track when specialist teachers aren't available and you need evidence of learning outcomes? No problems. Ask your admin staff or teachers to book a targeted ExplainEd Classroom Presentation that provides explicit teaching of the required core content and then choose any of the multiple feedback platforms available including Pre- and Post-session Formative Assessment Results, Learning Trends, Engagement Level, Summary Outcomes Report, etc.

* Year 11 and 12 classes require Lesson Plans to be uploaded by the school
* Average costs based on maximum utilisation of subscript plan See Pricing

STREAMS: ExplainEd pricing is based on the number of live streams the school requires.

Ah...what now?
Explanation: A Single Stream subscription means that the school can only receive ONE interactive lesson presentation (webcast) at a time...the school can schedule several sessions across several time slots in a day, but only ONE at a time (because they only have access to ONE broadcast stream channel out of the ExplainEd Studios).

A Double Stream subscription means that the school can have up to TWO episodes (lessons) being streamed to TWO different classes (or audiences) at the same time. Make sense?

For example, if two teachers are away or two students need specialist adjustments delivered at the same time (say, today in Period 4) a school with a Double Stream subscription can have both those classes (e.g. a Year 8 Maths class and a Year 11 Chemistry class or a student with a cognitive disability and another student who is hearing impaired) receive separate 30-minute, interactive, ExplainEd episodes (lessons) at the same time, e.g today in Period 4.

Okay...Quick question: Can a school with a single subsciption record a lesson and play it back later, say when it has another ExplainEd lesson scheduled?
Good question, but ExplainEd episodes aren't like simple videos or recorded clips. You CAN record the sessions yourself if you wish, (and kind-of play them back later) but they're 'live', multimedia sessions and respond to interactive feedback and though they work on a standard web browser, they require an open Internet connection (a 'channel') from the ExplainEd Studios...check out our FAQ. A small school will probably only need a Single Stream service. But a larger school is likely to require multiple streams if it wants all its relief/supply classes or modified lesson deliveries covered. We recommend starting with a Single Stream subscription and see how that goes.

MONTHLY or ANNUAL: The other thing affecting pricing is the subscription type. Schools can subscribe monthly and terminate their subscription at any time or pay annually in advance for a 50% saving on the standard rate.

As you can see from the final column, ExplainEd Classroom presentations (lessons) from eLearningLabs can cost as little as $6 per lesson depending on the number of streams and the subscription type.

[email protected]eLearningLabs is a young innovative Australian education and technology developer based on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The organisation was founded by Geoff Mills, a twenty-year school principal and former media publisher who lectured in business, communications and technology for La Trobe University's Queensland affiliate in Brisbane in the early 2000s. As the principal of a growing P-12 private school over the last two decades, Geoff experienced first-hand, two major problems facing Australian schools...
-- the incredible demands placed on teachers and institutions to deliver evidence-based individualised instruction and monitoring for every student in our care
-- the problems that unavoidable day-to-day staff absences were having on student learning and continuity.He also noted that resources traditionally employed to support differentiation and during teacher absences… like video clips, online learning platforms, pre-prepared workbooks and texts …though each having their place, all suffered from the same critical setbacks:

1. They weren’t a viable replacement for the physical teacher being ‘present’ in the classroom; they were pre-produced resources that weren’t necessarily matched to what the regular teacher was doing (or what the individual student required) and weren’t flexible enough to be modified to follow the school’s (i.e. the regular teacher’s) existing work program.
2. The bottom line... without a content expert (or Learning Support specialist) in the room, these existing resources weren’t able to deal with student questions or pivot to alternative explicit teaching when an adjustment was required.

With the development of functional LLM (Large Language Model) AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini and high quality ‘on-demand’ AI video and audio generation, suddenly ‘a flexible expert in the room’ became a potentially viable option. What resulted was a long process of development of over 10,000 AI prompts covering the lesson requirements of the entire Year 7-10 Australian Curriculum and an API production pipeline that allowed for ‘on demand’ creation and delivery of complete, compiled lessons in a user-friendly (student-friendly) format.

This unique ‘live’ production pipeline also allowed for a range of other benefits, like…
• using engagement techniques employed by modern media (like gamification, social media posts, game shows, news-flashes, musical stings, focus grabbers, etc.)
• collecting data on learning outcomes and utilising analytical tools to provide feedback to schools
• being able to incorporate ‘school-requested differentiation adjustments’ to improve inclusivity for lessons (along with general UDL strategies employed in the conceptual design process)
• since the lessons are ‘assembled on the fly’ the sequence and animated presenters can pivot mid-lesson if the live response data from the students suggests it.

…and ExplainEd was born.
