Fabric for education students

Pedagogy research, lesson planning, placement documentation, curriculum guides, reflective journals, observation notes, lecture slides, national standards documents, differentiation strategies, assessment frameworks. Education students manage both academic theory and practical teaching materials, and the challenge is connecting the pedagogy you study in the lecture hall to the practice you observe and deliver in the classroom. The framework from a lecture is relevant to the lesson plan you're writing for placement, but they live in different tools and the connection depends on you remembering both.

Upload your materials to Fabric. The AI assistant knows the specific frameworks your programme covers. "Explain Vygotsky's ZPD using my lecture notes." "Find every observation where I noted differentiation." "Connect the assessment framework from week 4 to my lesson plan." "What does my curriculum guide say about phonics progression?" AI tutor that bridges theory and practice.

An AI tutor that connects pedagogy to classroom practice

The AI assistant works from your pedagogy readings, lecture slides, placement documentation, curriculum guides, and reflective journals. Ask it to connect a theoretical framework to a specific classroom observation. Ask it to help you justify a teaching approach using the research from your programme. Ask it to compare the pedagogical theories from your syllabus. Ask it to quiz you on child development stages, assessment strategies, or curriculum design from your modules.

The assistant has memory across sessions. It remembers your placement experiences, which theories you've covered, and how your practice is developing.

Search across theory and placement materials

AI search reads inside every PDF, slide deck, journal entry, and note and searches by meaning. "The assessment framework from the curriculum studies module" finds the reading. "Every reflection where I discussed behaviour management" pulls results across your full journal history. The search connects academic theory to placement practice: a pedagogy framework from a lecture is findable when you're writing a lesson plan.

Organise placement materials

Write reflective journals, lesson plans, observation notes, and mentor feedback in notes and docs. They're searchable alongside your academic materials, so a reflection about a specific teaching moment connects to the research and curriculum documents that inform your practice. The AI helps you articulate the connection between theory and practice when writing reflections or assignments.

Annotations let you mark up curriculum guides, pedagogy texts, and national standards with searchable notes. Mark the relevant standard. Note the teaching strategy that worked in practice.

Record lectures and mentor sessions

AI voice notes record and transcribe lectures, seminars, and mentor feedback sessions. The lecturer's explanation of a framework, the mentor's feedback on your lesson, the seminar discussion about classroom management, all captured and searchable. See lecture notes.

Study on mobile between placement days

The mobile app lets you search pedagogy frameworks, review curriculum guides, quiz yourself, and capture notes between placement days. Record a voice note reflection after a lesson and it's transcribed and searchable by the time you're home.
