Summary: AWS describes Sanoma Learning's Sanna assistant, which grounds lesson plans, exercises and tests in selected textbooks and exposes source chapters for checking. Sanoma involved teachers through interviews, diary studies and a 1,500-person classroom pilot across seven countries. Reported adoption and quality figures come from the vendor-customer case study, not an independent learning-outcomes evaluation.
Why it matters: Knowledge teams can borrow the pattern: ground drafts in approved materials, expose citations, make outputs editable and involve users before rollout. Evaluate factual quality and downstream outcomes separately from satisfaction, while keeping consequential judgments with qualified professionals.
