We’re excited to introduce Student Helper, an AI-powered tutor students can use within their Classkick assignments.
Student Helper provides real-time support as students work. It analyzes the current slide and helps guide students toward understanding.
NOTE: This is not yet available to all users.
If you’re interested in enabling this feature, please submit a support request.
1) To Enable Student Helper
On web:
From the View Work tab,
Click the Student Helper button in the top-right corner.
Teachers can also toggle Student Helper under the Assign tab:
Turn it ON or OFF as needed.
On iOS:
1. Update your Classkick iPad app to the latest version. You likely don't need to update iOS.
2. Update students' iPad apps to the latest version.
3. Open an assignment and locate the Student Helper button.
- If you don’t see the button, sign out of the app and sign back in.
5. Tap the Student Helper button ON for a roster. You can turn it back off anytime. When you turn the feature off, active Student Helper conversations will immediately end.
Important Notes as the Feature Progresses:
- Student Helper is OFF by default for all assignments and rosters.
- All conversations are kept in the chat history of your students’ assignment work and can be reviewed by you any time.
- A chat bubble appears over the slides in which they chatted with the Student Helper.
- Student Helper has the ability to see your assignment and the current slide the student is working on when they ask for help.
- Its vision capabilities will continue developing as we progress.
- The Student Helper can currently only hear teacher audio on master slides.
- It cannot hear audio recordings posted on student work slides.
- To improve its accuracy, or if you’d like the voice it uses to be age appropriate, ensure that the assignment description, subject, and grade level are up to date and state the detailed learning objective clearly somewhere.
- Teachers can add in standards, curriculum info, etc. in the description for improved analyzing.
- Menu allows teachers to analyze and re-analyze an assignment. Teachers should re-analyze if big changes are made to the assignment.
- Student Helper can analyze the assignment even if it's not assigned to the roster if it has been assigned to a different roster with Student Helper turned on.
- This is a ROSTER FEATURE. This means it can be turned on/off for all assignments on a roster. You cannot have Student Helper on for 1 assignment on the roster only. If you toggle it on for a roster, it will be on for all assignments.
- It is not yet available to turn on/off for specific students.
2) Performance Notes
- It may take about 3-4 minutes to analyze an assignment for the first time.
-
Student Helper takes about 9-15 seconds for first response for students.
- Please advise students to tap and wait.
- After the initial response, the wait time will be about 5-10 seconds. This is something we are working to improve.
- Please advise students to tap and wait.
-
Currently on iOS only: Student Helper can transcribe and analyze recordings as part of the assignment.
- For example: If a math assignment has directions in text that state "Round to the nearest 10th place". The teacher may later add an audio recording says "Also, round to the nearest 100th."
- On iOS, this recording will be transcribed and analyzed as part of the instructions for students.
- We are working to add this to web
- For example: If a math assignment has directions in text that state "Round to the nearest 10th place". The teacher may later add an audio recording says "Also, round to the nearest 100th."
