Introduction: What is Brian?

Welcome to Brian

Getting started

• Read this page to find out what exercises are available on Brian.

• Your teacher will invite you to their Brian course. You can either work on the Brian app on your smartphone or tablet, or in your browser (student.brian.study).

• Here, in this manual, you will find information about all the buttons and functions, as well as help if something is not working.

What types of exercises are there?

• How it works:
• You select the correct answers. Each correct answer increases your progress
• The AI supports you, provides explanations, and is always there to help.
• You can also discuss each question with other learners in the same course or challenge them in multiplayer mode.
• You can use the filter function to combine quiz questions from different learning units or work with your favorites.

• How it works:
• An AI guides you through the task step by step. It acts like a tutor, helping you but also challenging you. Important: The AI expects you to try it yourself first before it helps. It doesn't do all the work for you.
• AI dialogues always have an end point. At the end of the task, you will receive detailed feedback, points and your learning progress.
• You can repeat the task at any time to improve your skills.

• How it works:
• The chatbot has been instructed by your teacher to interact with you in a specific way, e.g. to give you information or assistance.
• Chatbots are not tasks: there is no endpoint, no feedback, and no progress.
• Each chatbot is a specialist. If you have more general questions about the course content, please ask the AI tutor.

• How it works:
• You can access the AI tutor at any time and it will answer your questions.
• Your teacher may have contextualized the AI tutor. This means that the AI tutor has access to the course content and can quote directly from it.
