As a student you can access AI Learning Companion once your instructor has enabled it within the course. It consists of three components:
- My Tutor
- Quiz Me On…
- There is also the option to Manage Saved Chats
Manage Saved Chats
This area allows you to view and manage your previous interactions with AI Learning Companion. Once you click on Manage Saved Chats, a pop-up window listing all your previous interactions – anything you have not deleted – will be displayed.
You can click on each item to view the interaction; you can also click on the trash icon for each item to remove them.
How to use My Tutor
What exactly is My Tutor? My Tutor is your personal AI-powered study assistant inside the eClass AI Course Assistant. It can help you understand course materials, explain tricky concepts, and answer your questions in a conversational way. Simply type your question, and My Tutor will guide you step by step.
Tip: Be specific when asking questions. Instead of “Explain physics,” try “Explain how Newton’s Second Law applies to car acceleration.”
To use it:
- Locate the AI Course Assistant block on the right side navigation pane
-
Click on My Tutor within the My Learning Companion
- Select content on which you would like learning assistance
- The My Tutor page will open. Follow the prompts to learn about the topic you have selected. You can also ask follow up or clarifying questions
- Click on Download Chat at the bottom of the page to download a PDF copy of your session with the AI Tutor
- You can also download the summary of your session by clicking on Summarize Chat
How to use Quiz Me On…
The Quiz Me On… feature in the eClass AI Course Assistant lets you practice and test your knowledge on specific topics whenever you need. By typing a request like:
“Quiz me on cell division”
the Course Assistant will generate personalized practice questions to help you review.
Tip: Be specific when asking for a quiz — for example, “Quiz me on Chapter 5: Chemical Bonds” works better than just “Quiz me.”
To use it:
- Click on Quiz Me On within the AI Course Assistant block
- The Course Modules block pops up listing all the course materials that are AI trained
- Click on one of the links to participate in an interactive quiz session
- Within the Quiz Me On screen, you are prompted to respond to the quiz question
Below is a sample of an active Quiz Me On session
Upon completion of the quiz session, you have the option to Summarize Chat and Download Chat.
