How AI marking and tutoring works for your students.
On this page
StudyPulse uses AI in two main ways: marking written answers and providing tutoring support to students. Here's what you need to know.
When students submit written responses, AI automatically marks them and provides feedback.
For each written answer, the AI provides:
The AI marking is designed to: - Follow the marking criteria provided in the question - Be consistent across all student submissions - Give detailed, constructive feedback
However: AI isn't perfect. You can review any AI-marked answer to check if you agree with the marks and feedback.
After students submit: - Spot-check some AI feedback to see if it makes sense - You can view all AI feedback given to students in the submission details
Check the AI's work when: - A student questions their mark - You're using a new type of question for the first time - The question asks for creative or open-ended responses
Students can chat with the AI tutor for help with any subject.
Students get 100 messages per day with the AI tutor. This prevents: - Over-reliance on AI instead of thinking independently - Students using it to simply get answers without learning
Most students won't hit this limit during normal study.
Students can choose from 4 AI tutor styles:
All four give accurate information, just with different communication styles.
Students can: - Create multiple chat sessions for different topics - Continue conversations over time
Each session maintains context, so students can have ongoing discussions about a topic.
The AI is designed to help students learn, not just give answers: - It won't directly solve homework problems for them - It encourages students to think through problems - It asks clarifying questions to understand what they need - It provides hints and guidance rather than complete solutions
When students click for help on a question they've submitted: - The AI tutor loads the question into the chat - It can reference their submitted answer - It provides targeted feedback based on what they wrote - This helps students learn from their mistakes
AI Marking: Only sees the question and the student's answer
AI Tutor: Sees: - The current conversation history in that chat session - Any images the student uploads
AI Cannot See: - Other students' work - Private information beyond what's in the conversation - Conversations from other chat sessions
The AI is designed for educational use: - Inappropriate content is filtered - Off-topic conversations are redirected to learning - The focus stays on VCE subjects and study support
AI Marking is Consistent But Not Perfect - Encourage students to read feedback carefully - If they think a mark is unfair, they should talk to you - The feedback is meant to help them improve
AI Tutor is a Study Tool, Not a Shortcut - Best used when they're stuck and need a hint - More valuable when they engage with questions, not just ask for answers - They still need to do the work to learn
Q: Can I turn off AI marking and mark manually? A: Currently, AI marking happens automatically. You can review and discuss any marks with students.
Q: What if AI gives wrong information? A: If you notice incorrect feedback or marking, please report it to [email protected] with the specific question and submission. This helps improve the system.
Q: Can students share chat sessions? A: Chat sessions are private to each student's account. They can't share or view other students' conversations.
