Options and Metadata
There are several options and metadata settings that you can use to customize your worksheet.
- Worksheet Title: Used to reference the worksheet and displayed at the top of the worksheet page for students.
- Grade Level: Helps adjust the AI's difficulty level and organize worksheets more effectively.
- Language: Choose the language of the worksheet. This tells the AI which language it should use to communicate with students.
- AI Assistant: You can enable or disable the AI assistant for your worksheet. When enabled, students can chat with the AI assistant for guidance while completing the worksheet. This feature is especially useful for creative exercises that require complex thinking. Note that there is a higher submission limit for worksheets without the AI assistant enabled.
AI Customization
We provide options to customize the AI assistant's behavior and evaluation criteria. These settings are optional and should be used when the default behavior doesn't meet your needs. Although we are continuously working to improve the AI's capabilities, certain situations might require more specific customization. Be mindful of overusing it, as it can lead to reduced quality.
Resources
- You can upload resources like learning plans, presentations, workbook pages, cheat sheets, or any material related to the worksheet's topic. This helps the AI assistant use the same information you teach in class, providing a more consistent and personalized experience for students.
Worksheet Sample Correct Answer
- Providing a sample correct answer helps the AI better understand your expectations for student responses.
Worksheet Companion Instructions
- You can add special instructions for the AI to follow while evaluating student responses. For example, you might instruct the AI to ensure students include citations to support their answers.
