Through written responses
For Written learning points, Acarise reviews the exchanges and marks a learning point “Met” when it judges that the learner has demonstrated it. Teachers can inspect the exchange and evidence behind that judgement.
Set the learning. Guide the thinking. See the evidence.
Choose the learning points each learner works on, let Acarise guide them through active learning, and see the evidence behind every judgement it makes. The material and the next teaching decision remain yours.
Follow the teaching cycle ↓01Activity creation
Choose what
each learner works on.
Start with what learners should learn and how they should meet it: working through a new idea step by step, showing what they already understand, or putting it to work in a roleplay. In the app, these are Guided Lesson, Mastery Check and Interactive Scenario. Acarise suggests the learning points; you refine them before assigning.
For example, turn an objective about comparing fractions into a guided discussion, a check of understanding or a café roleplay.
- Shape the content
- Refine the learning points Acarise suggests, or write your own. For each, choose written responses or multiple-choice questions as the assessment mode.
- Set the support
- Choose the teaching tone, then select your learners and adjust their learning points where needed.

Teaching settings
- Tone
- Encouraging · Formal · Conversational · Socratic
- Teaching style
- Guided · Direct · Discovery · Challenge
- Scaffolding
- Questions, hints and explanations that encourage learners to develop and explain their reasoning.
- Difficulty
- Adaptive · Fixed throughout · Progressive (increasing)
At the final assignment step, choose the learners and add or remove learning points for individuals. The activity keeps its overall learning objective while the points each learner works on can differ.
Assessment mode
Two ways to
check a learning point.
Through an inline quiz
For Quiz learning points, 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 with the learner; 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.
02Guided learning
Support each learner
as they work through it.
Learners work through the activity at their own pace, explaining ideas, practicing and applying what they know. Acarise guides strictly for active learning: its questions and hints lead learners to reason their way to an answer rather than receive one.
When a learner compares fraction denominators as whole numbers, Acarise asks them to think about sharing the same whole between more people.
- A shared activity, individual learning points
- Add or remove learning points for individual learners before they begin.
- Active participation
- Learners work through questions and explain their choices, with support shaped by your teaching approach.
Learners can also review their activity progress, quiz results and areas to focus on.
03Pre-lesson evidence
See what to revisit,
practice or extend.
Follow progress across the class, then look beneath it. Every judgement Acarise makes is backed by evidence you can open: the learner’s responses and the exchange that produced them. Use it to decide what needs more practice and where learners are ready to go further.
Acarise shows its working. You make the call.

When you check understanding
See how much support an answer involved.
Feedback distinguishes independent work from work completed with support. Open the evidence to see exactly how the learner reached their answer.
- Mastered independently
- Mastered with support
- Heavily supported
These are activity feedback labels. Use the underlying work and your judgement to decide the next teaching step.
Overview & Student Work
Follow live progress, objective completion and activity status. Open a learner’s Individual Student Analysis to review per-objective progress, confidence and attempts.
Find the work you want to inspect.
Chat History
Read the full exchange, search within it or export a text transcript. Look at what the learner 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.
Activity progress and confidence are system judgements, not proof of lasting learning. No measured learning outcomes are claimed.
04Academic support
Help learners work through
their own questions.
Outside assigned activities, learners can bring academic questions to Acarise in a separate chat. Questions and hints keep the focus on academic learning and help learners develop their own reasoning.
These chats are separate from activity tracking and do not appear in Student Work or Feedback. Responses may contain inaccuracies and should be checked.
05Teaching workspace
Keep learners, activities
and due dates together.
Groups & Students
Create a group and share its invite link. Learners join using their name, email and a suggested passphrase. Manage group membership and help learners reset their passwords.
Activities & Calendar
Search or filter activities, duplicate them, manage assigned learners and set an optional due date. The calendar shows due dates. Archive activities when they are no longer needed, and restore them later.
Learner progress
Learners 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.
Questions about Acarise
What does Acarise do?
Acarise connects three parts of teaching: you create a lesson, check or scenario with editable material and a teaching approach you choose; learners explore and practice with guided support at their own pace; you review their work and class feedback to decide what to teach next.
What activities can I create?
There are three kinds of activity: one works through a new idea step by step (Guided Lesson), one checks what learners already understand (Mastery Check) and one puts learning to work in a roleplay (Interactive Scenario). Acarise drafts material from your objective and year group; you review and edit it before assigning the activity.
Compare the three formats →How do I create an activity?
First enter the learning objective. Choose the learning mode: Guided Lesson, Mastery Check or Interactive Scenario (roleplay). Select learning points from the generated list or write your own. For each point, choose Written (text-based responses) or Quiz (multiple-choice questions), then choose the teaching tone. Finally, select the students and add or remove learning points for individual learners where needed.
See the teacher controls →How is understanding assessed?
Learning points can be assessed through written responses or an inline quiz. Every judgement Acarise makes links to the evidence behind it. When you check understanding, feedback also distinguishes independent understanding from answers reached with support, helping you judge how the learner got there.
Read about progress and evidence →How does the feedback inform my next lesson?
You can review progress on each learner’s learning points and open the evidence behind every judgement: the learner’s own words and the exchange that produced them. That evidence can help you decide what to revisit, practice or extend next. You make the teaching decisions; progress indicators are not proof of lasting learning or measured attainment gains.
Explore the feedback view →Can learners ask their own academic questions?
Yes. Outside assigned activities, learners can bring academic questions to Acarise in a separate chat. Questions and hints support their reasoning while keeping the chat focused on academic topics. These separate chats should not be confused with the feedback on teacher-assigned activities.
Explore academic chat →How do learners join and receive work?
Teachers create a group and share its invite link with learners. You can assign activities to the class or selected learners and set an optional due date. The workspace helps you manage learners, find and duplicate activities, and review upcoming due dates.
Explore the educator workspace →Choose the route
that fits.
Educators can request access to explore the current product. Schools can agree a focused pilot around one teaching question.
