AI Feature Controls for Teachers

This guide explains the AI feature switches on the Revision Village platform and how to use them to control AI features for your classes. These switches give you control over which AI features your students can access on the platform, both during classwork and in assessments.

To note: Teachers with EducatorPro accounts purchased through our School Partnership program with student RV Gold accounts that have been set up in their respective classes can access the AI settings for their respective classes through the Account Settings menu.

 

Overview

The AI switches provide a customizable study experience for your students by choosing which AI chatbot and feedback features are enabled:

1. Newton AI Chatbot for Questions and Case Studies

When this setting is on, students will have access to the chatbot as they attempt questions, and will be able to ask for guardrailed AI help with understanding a question, help getting started, or anything else related to the question as they answer it. Guardrails are in place to prevent Newton from simply giving away the answer. Certain activities in which students 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 students can ask specifically for help with understanding a solution or markscheme.

3. AI Feedback for use within the Questionbank, Case Studies, and other features, as well as all Exam Mode Assessments

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

All three switches are on by default. You can turn any of them off for your students and you can turn them back on at any time.

How class settings affect your students 

  • When you turn a switch off for a class, the feature is automatically locked and set to off for the subject or subject group those students are taking in your class.
  • Students cannot re-enable a feature you have locked off for that subject
  • However, students can still enable or disable the feature for their other subjects. Your class setting only locks the feature for the subject/subject group linked to your class.
  • When you turn a switch back on, students regain the ability to use that feature, subject to their own personal settings.

 

How class settings affect assessments

  • Changing the class AI settings also changes the default for assessments created for that class.
  • When you disable AI features for a class, the chatbot is removed from assessments by default for that class, but can be enabled for a specific assessment.
