AI Feature Controls for Students

This guide explains the AI feature switches on the Revision Village platform and how they affect what you can do. Your teacher may use these switches to control which AI features are available to you in class (if your RV Gold student account has been set up via our School Partnership program). You also have your own AI settings, which let you turn AI features on or off for yourself.

 

Overview

There are three AI features that can be switched on or off:

1. Newton AI Chatbot for Questions and Case Studies

When this setting is on, you'll have access to the chatbot as you attempt questions, and you'll be able to ask for guardrailed AI help with understanding a question, getting started, or anything else related to the question as you answer it. Guardrails are in place to prevent Newton from simply giving away the answer. Certain activities in which you interact with an AI chatbot within Bootcamps are also disabled. 

2. Newton AI Chatbot for Markschemes

When this setting is on, the chatbot will be visible and available on markscheme pages only, so that you can ask specifically for help with understanding a solution or markscheme. 

3. AI Feedback for Questionbank, Case Studies and Exam Mode Assessments

You can submit answers to any question on the platform as typed responses, photographs of written work, or recorded audio clips, and receive marks and feedback on your answers. This also enables you to take all Practice Exams in Exam Mode and receive detailed AI feedback on your work.

All three features are on by default. You can turn any of them off yourself, and you can turn them back on at any time (unless your teacher has locked a feature off for your class).

How your teacher's class settings affect you

Your teacher can also control these features for your class. Here is what that means for you:

  • If your teacher turns a feature off for your class, that feature is automatically locked off for the subject or subject group you are taking in that class. You cannot turn it back on for that subject. Your other subjects are not affected. You can still turn the feature on and use it for your other subjects, depending on your own settings.
  • If your teacher turns a feature back on, you regain the ability to use it, subject to your own personal settings.
  • Your teacher's settings also affect assessments. When AI features are disabled for your class, the chatbot is removed from assessments by default for that class.

 

FAQs

1. Are the AI features on or off by default?

All three features are on by default. 

2. Can I turn a feature back on after turning it off myself?

Yes, you can reactivate any feature you turned off yourself under Account Settings. 

3. Can I turn a feature back on if my teacher turned it off for my class?

No. If your teacher locks a feature off for a class, you cannot enable that feature for the subject or subject group linked to that class. You can still use the feature for your other subjects. 

4. Does a teacher's setting for one class affect my other classes or subjects?

No. The lock applies only to the subject or subject group linked to that class. You can still enable AI features for your other subjects. 

5. Do teacher class settings change assessment defaults?

Yes. When AI features are disabled for your class, the defaults for assessments created for that class are updated to remove the chatbot. 

6. Can my teacher turn a feature back on later?

Yes. Your teacher can adjust any of the three switches at any time in the AI settings tab. 

7. Who can access these switches?

You can access your own AI settings through the Account Settings menu. 

If your RV Gold student account has been purchased for you by your school through our School Partnership program, then your teachers can access these AI settings for their classes.
