The start of a school year is always exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. Teachers are setting up classrooms, planning lessons, and getting to know new students. That's why our team has been hard at work this summer, building features that save you time and make classroom life easier.

Here's what’s new in Lumio to help you kick off the year strong.

Save time with AI Assist

AI Assist is now available to all Lumio users, with daily usage limits based on your plan. This means every teacher can now access AI in Lumio—while keeping educators in the driver’s seat.

AI Assist helps teachers:

• Generate standards-aligned questions and answers for activities like Response, Monster Quiz, and Game Show.
• Quickly create exit tickets, quizzes, and practice worksheets.
• Save valuable planning time while still customizing learning for students.

And now, it goes even further. With just a single prompt, teachers can create full lessons and worksheets, turning an idea into an interactive Lumio experience in seconds. That's less time spent planning and more time connecting with students.

These AI Assist features are rolling out first to our Beta users, with access for all educators coming in the next few weeks. Want to try it early? Join our Beta channel and start exploring today - watch this quick video guide on how to join.

Stay organized with Class Sessions

Juggling multiple classes just got easier. With Class Sessions, you can now organize, deliver, and review Lumio lessons for different groups—all in one place.

Even better, teachers can now edit individual class sessions to differentiate instruction and adapt materials on the fly. This means every group of students can have a learning experience tailored to their needs.

This has quickly become one of our most appreciated features amongst Lumio teachers—because it came directly from their requests. That's why we do what we do.

Teach directly from your SMART Board

No laptop? No problem. The new Lumio app for SMART Board® interactive displays with iQ (version 4.6 or later) lets you open and deliver lessons right from the board. That means fewer devices to manage and less setup time before class.

It's all part of our design philosophy: technology should never feel like "one more thing" to learn. Instead, it should seamlessly enhance teaching and learning, making the classroom experience more intuitive for teachers and more engaging for students.

Add creativity with Book Creator

Engage your learners with interactive stories and projects by embedding Book Creator books directly into Lumio lessons. Students can showcase their creativity while teachers keep everything in one place. See it in action on our YouTube channel: Book creator x Lumio
