Tutor chat
ForStudents
A written tutor next to the slide that answers questions about the course — read aloud on request.
Why#
Not every question is one you want to ask out loud. The tutor chat answers it calmly, with reference to the course.
How it works#
Click pathCourseToolbarTutor chat
- 1In the course, open “Tutor chat” at the top.
- 2Under “What shall we talk about?” choose the scope and “Start tutor chat” — the tutor first asks how you are getting on with the material and what you want to focus on (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 The tutor chat before the start: “What shall we talk about?” with the choice of scope. - 3Type a question or “Speak”; read the answer or have it read aloud with “Voice on” (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 The conversation with the tutor: its first question, the input field, “Speak” and “Voice on”. - 4“Explain my progress to me” asks the tutor where you stand and what you should deepen.

The learning curve#
The tutor recognises gaps in understanding during the conversation and gives tips. Next to the chat a learning curve grows — it shows how understanding develops over the course of the conversation.
Tips#
- The tutor sticks to the topic of the course. The AI guardrails fend off attempts to get it out of its role or to query internals.
