Asking questions
The tutor inside a module, asking about a specific passage, and the assistant that knows all your courses.
If something isn't clear, ask. You don't have to finish the module first, and you don't have to ask in English.
The tutor inside a module
Open it with Ask me on the go... at the bottom of the player, or press A. It answers about the module you're in — and, if you need it, the wider course.
It answers from the module's own material and the sources behind it, rather than from general knowledge, and shows you the sources it used. Ask in whatever language you're comfortable in.
Asking about one passage
Select a word or a passage in the Deep learning panel and the tutor picks it up as the thing you're asking about. You get one-tap actions:
- Explain this
- Go deeper
- Give me an example
- Help me reason about this
Or type your own question with that selection attached. Clear the selection to go back to asking about the module as a whole.
It won't spoil a quiz
Ask about a question you're currently stuck on and the tutor guides your reasoning rather than handing over the answer. Once you've answered and got it wrong, it will explain why. See Knowledge checks.
At the end of a module
The final scene asks What else would you like to know? and opens the tutor, so a question that surfaced while you were watching doesn't get lost on the way out.
The assistant that knows all your courses
On your learning home, Ask about your courses is a different assistant with a different scope: everything assigned to you, rather than one module. Use it for what should I do next or which course covers this.
It keeps a searchable history, so a conversation from last week is still there.
What's kept
Your conversations are stored so you can come back to them. Treat them as you would any message at work — write what you'd be comfortable having on the record.
