What kind of content can I create?

Quizzes and AI dialogues are defined, among other things, by the fact that they generate feedback and analytics on the students' progress, and award points . This allows learners to go through formative feedback loops and deepen their skills.

Quizzes are teacher-validated question sets designed to help learners grasp and internalize the material by answering the questions and reading the explanations and discussion forum posts. The AI tutor is automatically integrated into quizzes, allowing learners to further deepen their understanding of the content. Quizzes are based either on existing texts, videos, or websites or on teaching materials generated in Brian.

Quizzes are particularly suitable for teaching situations where one wants to ensure that students have read a text or watched a video and absorbed the information. They are also well-suited for exam preparation, especially when a lot of material needs to be memorized, and the exam itself uses quiz formats.

AI dialogues are interactive, adaptive exercises where learners interact with a chatbot via free-text answers – the chatbot leads them through the exercise and provides helpful hints and explanations when needed.

The AI dialogue mode is extremely flexible and can cover a wide range of exercises, from math problems to role-plays/simulations to interpretive or argumentative tasks. It can also adapt and replace all types of worksheets, creating a dynamic, variable exercise that provides adaptive support and corrects itself.

Unlike AI dialogues, chatbots offer a practice opportunity that has no defined endpoint and therefore does not lead to final feedback on learning analytics.

Chatbots can be configured to offer learners specific training opportunities and/or information, such as the ability to ask questions about a text they have read or to have their own work analyzed for errors before they hand it in.

Chatbots are contextualizable, meaning they can be fed with texts that the chatbot searches and quotes in its responses.

The AI tutor is not an exercise, but rather the overarching intelligence of the course. It can be contextualized, meaning it can be fed texts, which it then searches and quotes in its answers.

The AI tutor acts as a general point of contact for all learner questions. It can be deactivated by the teacher.
