Guided Mode turns a mentorAI chat into an interactive lesson engine that teaches, quizzes, and reinforces concepts automatically. Instructors link a course to a mentor, choose a guide style—Spaced Repetition, Instruction Mode, or Socratic Mode—and mentorAI takes over, presenting material, asking questions, and revisiting topics until mastery is reached. Meanwhile, instructors receive detailed analytics on every question‑and‑answer cycle to pinpoint learning gaps and celebrate student progress.
Student
Connect any course (e.g., Engineering Computations) to an existing mentor with just a few clicks in the Admin Panel.
- Spaced Repetition – repeats quiz questions until answered correctly, optimizing retention
- Instruction Mode – teaches a concept, then immediately checks understanding with a follow‑up question
- Socratic Mode – drives step‑by‑step dialogue, prompting deeper reflection and self‑explanation
mentorAI adapts prompts on the fly—e.g.,
“Can you explain loops in Python?” → “Quiz me on loops.”
—based on each learner’s performance.
Every attempt, repetition count, and review interval is logged, giving a precise picture of concept mastery over time.
View the exact questions asked, how many times they repeated, last/next review timestamps, and which student/mentor/course they belong to.
- In the Admin Panel, open Memory Component Settings
- Choose the target course (e.g., Engineering Computations)
- Link it to an existing mentor (e.g., Engineering Comp Mentor)
- Select a Catalog Guide—typically the same course content
- Choose Spaced Repetition, Instruction Mode, or Socratic Mode
- (Demo‑ready setup: Spaced Repetition + Instruction Mode)
- Students open the mentor chat and type “Start lesson.”
- mentorAI explains a topic, then poses a question
- Incorrect answers trigger future repetitions (Spaced Repetition) until the learner answers correctly
Guided prompts evolve with learner progress, e.g.,
- “Can you explain loops in Python?”
- “Quiz me on loops.”
In the Admin dashboard, inspect logs showing:
- Exact question text
- Repetition count and interval spacing
- Last/next review times
- Linked student, mentor, and course
- Use analytics to spot learning gaps
- Adjust guide style or content as needed for better outcomes
Combine Spaced Repetition with course quizzes to ensure students answer correctly multiple times over increasing intervals—cementing long‑term retention.
Use Instruction Mode to present a short explanation (e.g., Python loops), then instantly ask a question to verify understanding.
Activate Socratic Mode in philosophy or ethics courses to guide students through reasoned arguments via probing questions.
Learners who miss key questions get automatic repeats at spaced intervals, allowing struggling students to catch up without manual instructor intervention.
Instructors analyze repetition logs to identify common pain points—then add resources or adjust lectures where many students falter.
By linking courses, selecting a guide style, and reviewing the built‑in analytics, Guided Mode empowers instructors to deliver adaptive, evidence‑based instruction—while learners enjoy an engaging, feedback‑rich chat experience that drives true concept mastery.
