Guided Lesson
Students work through the objective step by step, with guidance shaped by your teaching style and rules.
For working through an idea.
How it works
An activity for students.
A window into their thinking.
Build a guided lesson, check understanding or put learning into context with an interactive scenario. Shape the material and teaching approach, then follow the evidence in students’ work.
See how an activity works ↓The whole product in one example
A student answers.
You see the evidence.
Every Acarise activity works the same way: a student works through an objective in conversation, and their answers become progress, identified gaps and a Chat History you can read. This example shows both sides of one exchange.
- 1
Student conversation
A student explains their reasoning to Acarise, which guides rather than gives the answer.
- 2
Teacher evidence
The same exchange as you see it: objective status, the evidence behind it and the gap identified.
- 3
Your next step
Read the exchange and decide what to revisit, practice or extend. The five features below are how you set this up and review it.
Scripted example. Change the activity type to see how each one opens.
An activity conversation gives the teacher objective-level progress and a Chat History to review.
01Activity types
One objective.
Three ways into it.
Acarise drafts all three activity types from your objective and grade level. Edit the material, then choose the experience that fits your teaching.
Mastery Check
Check understanding through written conversation or an inline quiz, with progress tracked against selected learning objectives.
For seeing what needs another look.
Interactive Scenario
Students apply the objective in a roleplay, making decisions and explaining their reasoning within a scenario.
For applying an idea in a roleplay.
02Activity creator

Make it your activity.
01 · Learning objective
Start with what students should learn.
Enter the learning objective for the activity.
02 · Learning mode
Choose how they will engage.
Guided Lesson for supported learning, Mastery Check to check understanding, or Interactive Scenario for roleplay.
03 · Learning points
Choose what the activity will cover.
Select learning points from the generated list, or write your own personalized ones. For each learning point, choose Written for text-based responses or Quiz for multiple-choice questions.
04 · Teaching tone
Set the tone of the conversation.
Choose how Acarise addresses and supports students as they work through the activity.
05 · Students
Assign, then adapt where needed.
Choose the students who will take the activity. Add or remove learning points for individual students before assigning it.
Explore the available settings
- Tone
- Encouraging · Formal · Conversational · Socratic
- Teaching style
- Guided · Direct · Discovery · Challenge
- Scaffolding
- Questions, hints and explanations that encourage students to develop and explain their reasoning.
- Difficulty
- Adaptive · Fixed throughout · Progressive (increasing)
At the final assignment step, choose the students and add or remove learning points for individuals. The activity keeps its overall learning objective while the points each student works on can differ.
Assessment mode
Two ways to
check an objective.
Through the conversation
For Written objectives, Acarise analyses the exchanges and marks an objective “Met” when it judges that the student has demonstrated it. Teachers can inspect the conversation and evidence behind that judgement.
Through an inline quiz
For Quiz objectives, Acarise introduces a five-question multiple-choice quiz inside the chat. Four correct answers are needed to pass. After a failed quiz, Acarise reviews the missed concepts in conversation; the same quiz is not retaken.
Quiz scoring uses a fixed answer key. Written progress uses automated interpretation and should be reviewed by an educator.
03Student Work, Chat History & Feedback
Move from a class overview
to one student’s explanation.
Overview & Student Work
Follow live progress, objective completion and activity status. Open a student’s Individual Student Analysis to review per-objective progress, confidence and attempts.
Find the work you want to inspect.
Chat History
Read the full conversation, search within it or export a text transcript. Look at what the student said and the questions and guidance that came before it.
Read the exchange in context.
Feedback
See students against activities, then open the detail behind a cell: objective status, confidence, evidence, identified gaps and a quiz result where one exists.
Use the detail to guide your judgement.
A correct answer can still involve substantial support. Mastery Check feedback distinguishes “Mastered independently”, “Mastered with support” and “Heavily supported” so you can look more closely at how the answer was reached.
Activity progress and confidence are system judgements, not proof of lasting learning. No measured learning outcomes are claimed.
04Academic chat
Independent questions.
Academic guidance.
Outside assigned activities, students can bring academic questions to Acarise in a separate chat. It stays focused on academic topics and guides students toward an answer through questions and hints, without giving the answer directly.
These conversations are separate from activity tracking and do not appear in Student Work or Feedback. Responses may contain inaccuracies and should be checked.
05Groups, Activities & Calendar
The everyday details,
in one place.
Groups & Students
Create a group and share its invite link. Students join using their name, email and a suggested passphrase. Manage group membership and help students reset their passwords.
Activities & Calendar
Search or filter activities, duplicate them, manage assigned students and set an optional due date. The calendar shows due dates. Archive activities when they are no longer needed, and restore them later.
Student progress
Students can review activity progress, quiz results and “Areas to focus on”, including identified gaps. In an activity, desktop users see an objective sidebar; on phones, the activity shows the chat.
Try it with
a question in mind.
Start with a class, a topic and a clear question about what would make the product useful. We will show you the current app and discuss a manageable pilot.
