Empowering educators in Türkiye with AI: Öğretmen Plus

Leading EdTech company Doping Hafıza is revolutionizing how teachers work through Öğretmen Plus, an Amazon Bedrock-powered solution. Öğretmen Plus is a social responsibility project aimed at reducing teachers’ workloads by making lesson planning more efficient and effective for more than one million K–12 teachers across Türkiye.

Doping Hafıza is an EdTech based in Türkiye that specializes in developing AI-powered digital learning platforms and content for students and educators across primary, middle, and secondary schools. The company offers a range of products, including an online educational platform with video-based learning environments, AI-supported smart test panels, memory techniques, mind maps, personalized study programs, infographics, and innovative game-based content. Doping Hafıza has been operating since 2011 and provides students and educators across Türkiye with the latest technological and up-to-date learning tools.

Addressing real educational challenges

Educators face significant challenges in managing lesson planning, accessing high-quality educational resources, and dedicating enough time to student engagement. AI is helping educators manage these difficulties more efficiently. Teachers often spend considerable time preparing lesson materials and searching for reliable content, which reduces the time they can spend guiding students.

With AI solutions, teachers can more quickly access quality lesson materials, save time in preparation, and focus more on personalized instruction. Öğretmen Plus is one tool that is transforming how educators handle their daily responsibilities.

“While launching Öğretmen Plus, our goal was to create a sustainable and scalable digital solution not only for teachers but for the entire education system. In this process, the services provided by AWS enabled us to turn technical challenges into opportunities,” explained Alperen Can, VP of Technology and Product at Doping Hafiza.

Key features that make a difference

AI-Powered teaching assistant

At the core of Öğretmen Plus is OPI, an advanced AI teaching assistant built on Amazon Bedrock. OPI supports teachers by generating customized lesson materials, developing comprehensive teaching plans, and even creating creative educational content, such as subject-specific songs. The assistant provides instant answers to professional queries, making it a highly valuable tool for supporting day-to-day teaching activities.

“Thanks to the multimodal structure of Amazon Bedrock, we were able to select the most suitable model for each AI tool, producing highly accurate outputs while significantly reducing the development burden of model integration processes. As a result, we cut development and integration costs by 60 percent”, commented Can, “At the same time, we managed high-volume data streams using AWS Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka, ensured low-latency communication with Amazon Elasticache, and made our deployments dynamic and scalable through Amazon Elastic Container Registry. With this architectural setup, we successfully launched Öğretmen Plus as a high-availability, resilient, and flexible platform in a short time.”

Comprehensive resource hub

The platform provides real-time access to the current Ministry of Education (MEB) curriculum, supported by a rich archive of teaching resources developed by experts. Teachers can access ready-to-use worksheets, weekly and annual lesson plans, and a wide array of educational content. Other resources available through the platform include downloadable and shareable official documents, plus academic videos on essential topics such as classroom management, student engagement, bullying prevention, burnout, and effective teaching methods.

Curriculum integration

Through its intuitive interface, Öğretmen Plus enables teachers to access all MEB materials using class, unit, and lesson filters. The platform enables full alignment with the latest curriculum and supports weekly objective tracking and downloadable annual plans—ensuring that teachers always work with current standards and requirements.

Platform accessibility

Öğretmen Plus is available on the company’s website and select features are available on the iOS and Android platforms, offering no-cost access to one million K–12 teachers through a mobile-optimized, user-friendly interface. This gives teachers access high-quality educational resources anytime, anywhere.

Impact

What makes Öğretmen Plus stand out is its holistic approach to supporting teachers at all K–12 levels. Instead of offering fragmented solutions, it builds a connected system designed to improve every facet of a teacher’s professional experience.

The time-saving benefits are significant—lesson planning is faster, ready-to-use materials are easily accessible, administrative work is streamlined, and official document management is far more efficient. For professional development, teachers can explore expert-led educational videos, continuous learning resources, and best-practice content.

Thanks to these AI-powered solutions, over 37,000 teachers have accessed the platform in the last 1.5 years. On a weekly basis, more than 5,000 teachers save time by using Öğretmen Plus to view and manage official documents and annual plans.

Looking ahead

As education continues to evolve, tools like Öğretmen Plus showcase how AI can be harnessed to enhance teaching practices. By offering this platform free of charge to Türkiye’s entire teaching community, Doping Hafıza is setting a new benchmark for corporate social responsibility in education.

The platform’s success targets are ambitious: Providing one million K–12 teachers with 24/7 access to AI-powered resources across all major subject areas. By integrating Amazon Bedrock technology and making it freely available, Doping Hafıza has made a significant investment in educational infrastructure and innovation.

This all-in-one solution reflects the power of combining educational expertise, advanced technology, and social commitment to drive meaningful change. By addressing real challenges faced by teachers and leveraging cutting-edge AI tools, Öğretmen Plus is helping shape the future of education in Türkiye.
