How it works · Learning paths
A whole series towards your goal
A lesson generator takes a snapshot and a chatbot does not know your class. What comes out here is not a one-off lesson, but a series that works towards something and moves with what your students show.
What is a series?
Several lessons that work together towards one goal. You say where you want to end up and how many lessons you have, GoYou builds the steps in between. It is not a straight line: every lesson produces information that shapes the next one.
In education this is usually called a learning path. We call it a series, because you make it for one class and it keeps changing along the way.
Which goal that is, you decide. Your own goal for this group, a core objective, an attainment target or a work process from the qualification profile: you describe where you want to end up and GoYou builds the route there. We do not look it up for you: you give the goal, in your own words.
An assessment is not necessarily a test.
It can be a class test, but it can just as well be something your class makes, shows or performs:
- a written test
- a final product
- a presentation
- a debate
- a performance
- a practical assignment
One teacher spent four lessons working with his class towards playing Smells Like Teen Spirit together. If you can explain what your class needs to be able to do at the end, GoYou can build the route there.
What the next lesson is built on.
On your class’s work. Every lesson has a practice task, and GoYou marks it automatically. Not just per student, but across the whole class: where did it go wrong for many students, what did almost everyone get, what has not come up yet.
What happened in the conversations with the tutor counts in full, because that is exactly where you can see what a student does not get yet. Together with where you are in your series, that is the raw material for the next lesson.
As the teacher, you see in advance what GoYou takes from it, and you can depart from that or add something yourself.
When someone falls behind.
First the tutor tries on its own
If a student gets stuck on a step, the tutor does not keep asking the same thing over and over. It makes the question smaller, gives a hint and can point back to the explanation from your lesson, which the student can simply pull up. If it still does not work after three attempts, it wraps up together with the student, without leaving that student with a failure.
And then it comes to you
That student then shows up in your class overview as stuck, along with what did go well and where it went wrong. So you do not just see that someone got stuck, but also on what. That is what you take into the next lesson, or into a two-minute chat in class.
And if it is half the class, whole-class attention
If a bigger part of your class falls into the same trap, that trap gets extra whole-class attention in the next lesson. After all, GoYou knows which assessment you are working towards.
If the goal changes, the route changes
If you change the assessment halfway through, GoYou uses the lessons that are left to close the new gap.
Coming soon
You share a series with your department.
A good series is too much work to use only once. That is why you will soon be able to pass it on to a colleague, to your whole department, or to yourself for next year.
What you share is the path, so what you are going to do: the goal, the steps towards it and the structure. Not the finished slides. That is deliberate. Your colleague’s lesson belongs to their class, and as soon as they take over the path, GoYou builds the lessons again, for the students in front of them. So they do not get a stack of slides that do not fit, but a series that moves with their own group from lesson 1.
There is a practical advantage too: you can judge a path in thirty seconds, six finished lessons you cannot. You see at a glance whether this is what you are looking for.
Sharing has been designed and not yet built. It is coming during the beta, and what exactly goes into it we will decide partly on what the first schools think of it.
