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.
