About Saval

Transforming Education Through Problem-Based Learning, Gamification, and AI

Saval is an AI-powered problem-based learning platform for formative assessment, built by academics working in higher education. It combines authentic scenario challenges, gamified live delivery, and AI grading so teachers can assess reasoning — not just recall — and give every student feedback within the same lesson.

Saval is an AI-powered Problem-Based Learning platform for formative assessment that operationalizes UNESCO's AI Competency Frameworks for both Teachers and Students by enabling human-centred, ethical, and pedagogically meaningful use of artificial intelligence. Through the integration of authentic problems, gamification, real-time feedback, and AI-assisted assessment, Saval empowers educators to develop AI-enhanced teaching practices while helping students build critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and responsible AI-use competencies.

Aligned with UNESCO's vision for AI in education, Saval moves beyond traditional assessment by transforming classrooms into engaging, evidence-driven learning environments where teachers evolve from AI users to AI-enabled innovators, and students progress from passive consumers of AI to active collaborators and future co-creators. By combining formative assessment, authentic problem solving, and motivation-focused learning design, Saval supports the development of the knowledge, skills, values, and human capabilities required for success in the AI era.
