The Educator Agent can create lessons, pathways, tutors, and classrooms through a guided conversation. Instead of navigating through menus and forms, just describe what you need and the Educator Agent builds it for you.
Creating a lesson
To create a lesson, tell the Educator Agent what you'd like to teach. For example:
"Create a practice lesson on fractions for Grade 7"
"Help me set up homework for my chemistry class"
"Turn this into classwork" (with an uploaded PDF)
The Educator Agent walks you through a few questions:
Content source - Upload a PDF with your existing materials, or let the Educator Agent generate from scratch. Uploading your own materials produces better results because it preserves your content and structure.
Pathway selection - Choose which pathway to add the lesson to, or create a new one. The Educator Agent shows your existing pathways as clickable options.
Lesson type - Choose from Teach (introduce a topic), Practice (exercises and revision), Assess (quizzes and tests), or Homework (K-12 only). The Educator Agent often infers the right type from your content.
Once created, the Educator Agent offers to assign the pathway to a classroom so students can access it immediately.
Creating a pathway
A pathway is a sequence of lessons - like a unit, module, or chapter. To create one:
"Create a pathway called Forces and Motion for Grade 10"
"Set up a new module for my AP Chemistry class"
The Educator Agent creates the pathway and can immediately add lessons to it. For a full unit, it can build a sequence of teach, practice, and assessment lessons.
Creating a tutor
AI tutors interact with your students as study buddies, Educator Agents, or simulation characters. To create one:
"Create a chemistry tutor for Grade 9"
"Make a tutor that acts as a nervous legal client for my law students to interview"
The Educator Agent gathers a few details one at a time:
Subject focus - What topic the tutor covers
Grade level - To calibrate the difficulty and language
Tutor type - Study buddy (helps students learn), Educator Agent (guides through content), or simulation character (role-plays a scenario)
The Educator Agent writes the tutor's instructions automatically based on your answers, then offers to assign it to a classroom or embed it in a lesson.
Creating a classroom
To create a classroom, just ask:
"Create a classroom called Physics 10B"
"Set up a new class for my students"
After creating the classroom, the Educator Agent reminds you to share the join code so students can join.
Assigning content
The Educator Agent can assign pathways to classrooms and tutors to classrooms or lessons. You can do this as part of a creation workflow, or separately:
"Assign the Fractions pathway to Maths 101"
"Assign the chemistry tutor to my Grade 9 class"
"Add a study buddy tutor to the photosynthesis lesson"
When assigning pathways, you can set optional start and due dates: "Assign it starting Monday, due next Friday."
Tips
Be specific or exploratory - Direct requests like "Create a pathway called Fractions" execute immediately. Open-ended requests like "Help me set up homework" get guided step by step.
Use @ mentions - Type @ to reference existing classrooms, pathways, or lessons by name instead of describing them.
Upload your materials - Lessons created from your own PDFs, slides, or notes are significantly better than generated-from-scratch ones.
Chain actions - The Educator Agent can handle an entire workflow in one conversation: create a pathway, add lessons, create a tutor, assign everything to a classroom.
