How we started
We started at Startup Weekend Bitola, 11 to 13 September 2026, with one question: why do so many lessons start the same way, with a teacher talking and thirty heads bent over their phones?
Our answer is to make the phone part of the lesson. The teacher asks a question, every student answers, and the teacher sees at once who understood.
What we make
TeacherAid turns the teacher's lesson into questions in Macedonian. In class the teacher sends them from a laptop, students answer on their phones, and attendance is taken with one scan of a QR code. At the end of class the teacher gets a list ready for e-Dnevnik, and every month the director gets a report on the whole school.
Why questions in class
Trying to answer, even when the answer is wrong, helps students remember later. Researchers call it the pretesting effect (Richland, Kornell and Kao, 2009).
Mistakes made with confidence are corrected more readily when the student sees the right answer straight away (Metcalfe, 2017). That is why TeacherAid reveals the right answer to the whole class, with a short explanation.
How we work
- The teacher decides. Nothing reaches students until the teacher has checked it, and TeacherAid never writes to e-Dnevnik.
- The data belongs to the school. We process it for the school, under an agreement and North Macedonia's Law on Personal Data Protection, and keep it in the European Union.
- The director has nothing to learn. The report arrives by email on its own.
- No ads and no tracking.
