Samsung AI Assistant Helps Teachers Create More Engaging Lessons

Helping every student stay engaged and supported during a lesson means balancing instruction, interaction, and individual learning needs — and juggling all of that while keeping the lesson moving can add to a teacher’s workload. Samsung AI Assistant is a built-in app for compatible Android-based Samsung Interactive Displays that helps teachers enhance every stage of a lesson with AI-powered features. With tools like Live Transcript, Circle to Search, AI Quiz, and My Classes, teachers can deliver more accessible instruction, quickly bring additional learning resources into class, and check student understanding.

Watch the video below to see how Samsung AI Assistant helps teachers boost classroom engagement at every stage of a lesson.

Live Transcript: Start Class With More Accessible Instruction

In classrooms, it’s essential that every student can understand and follow the instruction. In larger rooms, the teacher’s voice can be harder to hear — and for some students, spoken instruction alone may not always be enough.

Samsung AI Assistant’s Live Transcript feature converts teachers’ spoken instructions into real-time text displayed on the screen, helping students follow along with the lesson. Teachers can adjust the transcript’s language, font size, and on-screen position to suit different classroom needs. When paired with Samsung’s screen sharing app, students can even view the Live Transcript on their own devices — helping them stay connected to the lesson even if they’re seated farther from the display or have difficulty hearing.

Grant Wilson, Solutions Architect AV/IFP at STS Education, highlighted how Live Transcript can help students stay connected and better follow classroom instruction.

“Kids today are turning on transcripts while they’re watching videos at home, and it’s helping with their understanding,” said Wilson. “What I like is that you can pair it with the Samsung screen sharing app, so every student in the classroom has a front-row seat to the screen from their own device.”

Circle to Search: Amplify Context in Every Lesson

During a lesson, teachers may want to introduce additional examples and resources to help students connect classroom concepts to real-world context. Finding relevant materials mid-lesson, however, can take time.

Circle to Search lets teachers circle any image or object displayed on the screen to quickly find relevant photos, videos, and web resources. Teachers can add search results directly to the whiteboard by pressing and holding the selected results — making it easier to introduce varied examples and build on a topic while keeping students focused.

Tambra Clark, Technology Integration Facilitator at Birmingham City Schools and a Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Top 10 winner, highlighted how Circle to Search helps teachers bring relevant resources into lessons quickly.

“Being able to use that Circle to Search feature just saves a lot of time where you don’t have to go in and type in certain words, phrases, or videos,” said Clark. “Everything comes up right away just by circling that phrase.”

AI Quiz and My Classes: Review Learning and Continue Beyond the Classroom

As the lesson wraps up, Samsung AI Assistant helps teachers check student understanding with AI Quiz. Teachers can generate quizzes based on transcripts from recorded lessons and uploaded materials — which helps keep quizzes aligned with what was actually taught in class.

After a teacher creates an AI Quiz, students can join from their own devices using a QR code or link. Once students submit their answers, teachers can show the correct answers on the display after each question and provide explanations. The results dashboard then helps teachers review comprehension and identify topics that may need additional instruction.

“You can see where the students are at, and you’re able to identify areas of improvement with that quiz,” said Clark.

Beyond quizzes, voice-recorded lessons are automatically saved in My Classes, where teachers can revisit transcripts, review AI-generated summaries, and share materials for future classes.

Shaun Taylor, Director of Sales at STS Education, highlighted how these features can help teachers adapt instruction for every student.

“The word that I’d use from my experience is differentiation,” said Taylor. “Having tools that allow students to engage at their own pace helps address different learning needs.”

From supporting accessible instruction to expanding classroom exploration and helping teachers review student understanding, Samsung AI Assistant enables more engaging and accessible learning experiences — right on Samsung Interactive Displays.
