Activities are AI-powered learning activities that can act as assistants, assignments, practice buddies, or more. Some possible use cases for activities include:
Assess students' understanding of a new topic and give an overview of who knows what
Practice speaking 1-on-1 in any language
Help students with extra learning (24/7 study sessions before a test)
Give students immediate feedback on their writing
Below are some tips and tricks for creating your first activity!
Set the context for the AI
Use a detailed learning objective
Be sure to explain to the AI:
What would you like for the students to learn?
What should the AI know about the target audience (age, level of understanding, etc.)?
How should the AI assess students and target its feedback (mastery of the topic, inquisitive behavior, etc.)?
Upload relevant resources for the AI to reference
This is especially important if:
You want the AI's responses to match more precisely to what you teach.
You are teaching a more obscure topic that the AI might not have existing knowledge of.
You are teaching a more recent topic that the AI's training might not include (e.g. current events).
Test and iterate
Be sure to:
Use the live preview.
Use the revise feature.
Modify and iterate the rules and rubric.
Remember: your first assignment may not be your best
Let students know about how the AI tutor works and set expectations for the assignment.
Collect feedback from your students.
Share your experiences and hear from other teachers.
