We present AIriskEval-edu Demo, a platform that audits the pedagogical quality of instructional explanations and provides explainable audit results. The platform evaluates an explanation against a rubric covering five dimensions of pedagogical risk: factual accuracy, depth and completeness, focus and relevance, student-level appropriateness, and ideological bias. For each dimension, it returns a binary decision and a confidence score. Detected risks also include a natural-language rationale and, except for Depth and Completeness, a localized evidence span. The platform integrates GPT-5.5 through an external API and a self-hosted Llama 3.1 8B evaluator that runs on consumer-grade GPUs. The local evaluator is fine-tuned on AIriskEval-edu, a dataset of K-12 instructional explanations with risk and explainability annotations. The platform operates in two modes: in AI mode, both evaluators assess stored explanations generated under six simulated teacher profiles, each representing a distinct pedagogical behavior and potential risk; in human mode, the local evaluator audits user-written explanations in real time. The local evaluator outperforms GPT-5.5 on most reported metrics, offering educational institutions a practical way to keep audited content within their own infrastructure.

This paper presents ConnectED, a human-centered AI system that supports the full instructional lifecycle in Vietnamese education by linking curriculum-aligned lesson design, interactive student learning, and feedback-driven refinement. Built on VietEduQwen, a Vietnamese educational large language model trained via supervised fine-tuning and direct preference optimization, the system ensures academically accurate, pedagogically appropriate, and student-safe interactions. ConnectED operationalizes the ADDIE framework through structured prompt templates aligned with Official Dispatch No. 5512/BGDDT-GDTrH, where each phase serves as both a generation step and a teacher validation gate. The Evaluation phase further closes the loop by connecting student performance data with iterative lesson improvement. Beyond lesson generation, the system integrates a student-facing interactive environment, enabling continuous collection of learning signals to support teacher decision-making. Evaluation on 3,119 questions from the 2025 Vietnamese National High School Examination shows that VietEduQwen achieves 87.02% accuracy, outperforming Qwen3-8B by 6.10 percentage points. Surveys of teachers (n=18) and students (n=214) demonstrate strong satisfaction with curriculum alignment, lesson clarity, and usability. In practice, lesson preparation time is reduced from 3--4 hours to approximately 30--45 minutes with teacher-in-the-loop review. Ablation studies confirm that both DPO training and ADDIE-based orchestration contribute independently to system performance, highlighting the importance of structured teacher oversight for practical deployment.
