Works across a range of course types and teaching styles.
How ChatTutor fits into teaching, then four courses where teams brought it in — and what changed in the first semester.
Around the lesson, inside the lesson, and after it.
Support for learning beyond scheduled class time — helping students prepare before lessons and reflect afterward.
- Individual learning. Students explore concepts at their own pace, test their understanding, and get guided prompts aligned with the course material.
- Self-guided collaboration. Unsupervised small groups structure discussions, compare ideas, and resolve uncertainties together.
- Group work. Shared inquiry that makes reasoning visible, so groups build on each other's thinking rather than dividing tasks.
In live classroom settings, ChatTutor becomes part of the instructional flow.
- Supervised group work. Educators guide how AI is used while students work through problems or case studies.
- Small classrooms and large lectures. Deeper dialogue and personal scaffolding in small rooms; many students engaging at once through structured prompts in large ones.
- Assignments and exams. In development Learning-focused assessment that emphasises reasoning, transparency and academic integrity.
Built for human + AI collaborative learning, where teachers, students and AI share the same learning space.
- Agent participation. Educators decide when AI takes part in a discussion thread and when it stays in the background as a support tool.
- Peer validation. Peers or teaching assistants can be looped into a conversation to check reasoning and correct misunderstandings.
- Curriculum control. Educators decide how AI is applied to their curriculum, so it reinforces pedagogical goals rather than dictating them.
Meaningful insight into how students are actually learning.
- Weekly bottlenecks. Where students struggle, or ask the same question again, surfaces week by week.
- Depth, not activity. Performance-level indicators separate surface engagement from deeper conceptual mastery.
- Mid-semester correction. Instructional adjustments and targeted support while the semester is still running.
For teams who want to go further, agents can be built from scratch.
- Custom agents. Built for a specific subject or teaching strategy.
- AI personas. A Socratic tutor, a debate partner, a writing coach.
- Reasoning first. Agents that probe assumptions and ask students to explain their thinking instead of producing answers.
Reading and dialogue are only two ways into a subject. The next modalities extend the same grounded course material into other forms of study.
- Podcasts. Course material turned into something a student can listen to — orchestrated by the teacher.
- Collaborative notes. A shared record a cohort builds together, with the agent in the margin.
- Multiple file formats. Documents, video and more, indexed as course material the agent can answer from.
Several agents, each with a distinct way of explaining, become material for discussion in class.
- One agent per response style — short, detailed, step-by-step
- Students compare explanations of the same question
- Selected answers reused as classroom discussion material
Lecturer at Copenhagen Business School
Answers stay anchored in the uploaded course material, and question patterns feed back into the next lecture.
- Notes and articles uploaded, so answers match what is taught
- Analytics surface recurring misunderstandings across the group
- Lectures and exercises adjusted to the gaps that appear
Professor at Technical University of Denmark
ChatTutor plays the applicant company; students interrogate it from assigned professional roles.
- Full application dossier loaded; the agent answers as the company
- Students work as regulator, bioethicist, reimbursement specialist
- Findings compared in class: which questions exposed most
Associate Professor at University of Copenhagen
A shared session lets the whole room answer the same question at once — then @ai clusters the answers live.
- Every student answers, not just the few who speak up
- Typing @ai groups answers and surfaces misconceptions
- Contributions kept, so participation can be reviewed after class
