Interactive Flat Panel with AI Features
boardEX is an AI-powered interactive flat panel built for modern classrooms and professional environments. Each feature on this page is explained in technical detail, covering exactly how it works, what input it accepts, what output it produces, and which formats and curricula it supports. If you are evaluating boardEX for your school or institution and want to understand the technology behind the panel, this page covers everything you need.
Chemistry Equation Recognition— How It Works
The chemistry equation recognition engine uses optical character recognition (OCR) trained specifically on chemical notation. When a teacher or student writes a chemical equation by hand directly on the panel, the system identifies individual elements, compounds, subscripts, superscripts, and reaction symbols in real time.
Supported notation types:
- Molecular formulas (e.g. H₂O, CO₂, NaCl)
- Balanced and unbalanced chemical equations
- Multi-step reaction sequences
- Subscripts, superscripts, and ionic charges
- Structural formulas for organic chemistry
Output generated automatically:
- Digitised, clean version of the handwritten equation
- Step-by-step solution with working shown
- Auto-generated quiz questions based on the equation
- Summary notes explaining the reaction in plain language
- Supplementary learning materials for extended study
Built-In Curriculum Content — Coverage & Access
The Interactive Flat Panel includes comprehensive built-in curriculum content covering all classes and major syllabuses. Teachers are able to access ready-made materials that are already aligned to their curriculum, reducing preparation time significantly. The supported curriculum boards are shown below.
| Curriculum | Classes Covered | Content Available |
|---|---|---|
| CBSE | All Classes | Lessons, Videos, Assessments |
| ICSE | All Classes | Lessons, Videos, Assessments |
| Additional Syllabuses | All Classes | Lessons, Videos, Assessments |
Content is also easy to share with other staff members, supporting collaborative planning and consistency across year groups and departments.
AI Lesson Plan Generator — Input, Output & Customisation
The lesson plan generator takes three inputs from the teacher: topic, class level, and preferred language. From these three fields, the AI produces a complete, structured lesson plan without requiring any additional data entry.
The generated lesson plan includes a clear written introduction along with a comprehensive overview of the topic to help set the context. It also provides curriculum-aligned lesson objectives to ensure the content meets educational standards and learning goals.
To enhance understanding and engagement, the plan incorporates relevant videos based on the subject and class level, along with supporting images and visual aids. Additionally, an auto-generated mind map is included to give students a clear visual representation of the topic.
For assessment purposes, the lesson plan features quiz questions or evaluation tasks to test students understanding. It is also available in a printable or shareable format, making it easy for teachers to distribute the material to students efficiently.
Maths Equation Recognition— Supported Expression Types
The maths engine reads handwritten or typed mathematical expressions directly from the panel surface. The system processes the input and returns a fully worked solution with each step clearly explained. This is not a simple calculator, it shows the reasoning behind each calculation so students understand the method, not just the answer.
Supported mathematical formats:
- Arithmetic and algebraic expressions
- Fractions, indices, roots, and surds
- Trigonometric functions: sin, cos, tan and their inverses
- Logarithms and exponential equations
- Calculus: derivatives and integrals
- Matrices, vectors, and advanced notation
Output format:
- Step 1 through Step N — each calculation stage shown separately
- Final answer clearly highlighted
- Option to generate a quiz from the same expression
Mind Map Generation — Structure & Use Cases
Mind maps are generated from a single topic input. The AI identifies the key branches, sub-topics, and relationships within that subject and arranges them in a clear, readable layout on the panel display.
Technical output:
- Central topic node with branching sub-topics
- Hierarchical structure with up to three levels of depth
- Colour-coded branches for visual differentiation
- Exportable and shareable in digital format
Intended use in a teaching session:
- Topic introduction: display overview before teaching begins
- Mid-lesson summary: consolidate what has been covered
- Revision tool: full unit overview in one visual
Quiz Generation — Generation Logic & Question Types
Quizzes are generated directly from the topic or lesson content loaded onto the panel. The system does not use generic question banks — it generates questions that are contextually specific to the exact content being taught in that session.
How the generation works:
- Input: topic name, lesson content, or existing quiz
- Output: multiple question sets with varied formats
- New quizzes can be derived from existing ones, building a question bank over time
- Summaries are co-generated alongside quizzes for teacher review
Question formats supported:
- Multiple choice
- Short answer
- True or false
- Fill in the blank
Text Recognition — Languages & Output Format
The text recognition feature converts natural handwriting written anywhere on the panel into clean, editable digital text. The engine is trained across multiple scripts and handles natural handwriting variations without requiring the user to write in a specific style or font.
Supported languages:
- English
- Arabic (including right-to-left script handling)
- French
- Additional languages included in multilingual support pack
Output capabilities:
- Instant conversion with no manual review required
- Editable text ready to copy, save, or share
- Direct export to lesson notes or PDF
- Compatible with DMS (Device Management System) for remote access
Virtual Labs — Simulation Scope & Technical Format
The virtual labs module provides screen-based simulations of laboratory experiments. Students interact with the simulation directly on the panel, following the same procedural steps they would use in a physical lab environment.
Simulation categories available:
- Physics experiments — circuits, mechanics, optics
- Chemistry experiments — reactions, titrations, molecular models
- Biology experiments — cell structure, dissection models, ecosystem simulations
Technical format:
- Interactive 3D rendered environment
- Touch-based controls directly on the panel surface
- Step-by-step procedure prompts built into the simulation
- Assessment integration — quiz generated after lab completion
