Zelma for Web

Zelma — Intelligent Tool for K–12 Assessment Data

Zelma is an AI-driven research companion built to make U.S. school testing information easy to explore. It provides a straightforward interface that lets users query large education datasets in everyday language, producing clear, data-backed responses without requiring programming skills.

Who benefits from Zelma

• Academic researchers studying assessment outcomes and trends
• Education policymakers evaluating state- and district-level performance
• K–12 teachers and school administrators seeking practical insights for instruction and planning

Core capabilities

• Translate plain-English questions into actionable data results and summaries
• Generate comparative analyses (for example, contrast performance between states or districts)
• Break down results by demographic groups such as race and other population segments
• Produce visual outputs — charts, graphs and tables — to illustrate findings clearly
• Provide easy sharing options including embeddable visuals and quick social links

How it works in practice

Users type a question or request (for example, “Show reading scores by race for third grade in State X over the last five years”) and Zelma parses that intent, runs the appropriate queries against its datasets, and returns charts, tables, and written explanations. Filters and drill-downs let users refine the view to specific years, grades, or subgroups.

Visualization and distribution

Zelma’s output is designed for clear communication: interactive charts, downloadable tables, and concise narrative summaries help translate numbers into decisions. Results can be embedded in web pages or shared via short links optimized for social posts, enabling collaboration and wider dissemination of findings.
