How Pencil Spaces solves it
The student says “I get it.” The tutor launches a built-in quiz with two short questions and a timer. He gets the first right and the second wrong, which tells her exactly which step didn’t land.
She reteaches that step and checks again with a quick poll. This time, “I get it” is true. Soon, the Understanding Score will estimate understanding live, as she explains.
- QuizzesAvailableQuizzes give you a built-in quiz with multiple-choice and short-answer questions, so you see what landed before you move on.
- Timers & PollsAvailableBuilt-in timers and polls let you pace activities and check understanding in seconds.
- Understanding ScoreComing soonThe Understanding Score, in development, will estimate how much of your explanation the student is actually understanding, live and in a summary afterwards.
The usual way
Tutors ask “does that make sense?” and take the answer at face value.
