We’re excited to announce a few major improvements to Flint! Namely, tutors have been renamed to activities. Plus, we’ve made it easier to browse student sessions, and the AI on Flint now suggests messages to help keep the conversation going.
1. Tutors renamed to activities
We’ve renamed tutors on Flint to activities. We heard from many educators the term “activities” better encapsulated the various ways that Flint has been used by teachers.
2. Improved sessions view
It’s now much easier to view student sessions on Flint! Now, when you click on an activity that you’re an owner of (e.g. an activity that you’ve made), you’ll be brought to an “Overview” page. This “Overview” page includes a wide table view of all sessions for that tutor so far. Feel free to search for specific sessions, or sort based on fields like student name, grade, or submission time.
3. Message suggestions
To help keep the conversation going, we’ve added message suggestions into Flint! The AI will now suggest follow up messages to help students ask clarifying questions and to keep the conversation going.
4. Adjustable speaking speed
The speed at which the AI speaks to students can now be adjusted via the settings for each activity, making Flint a better fit for younger language learners. To read more updates about Flint, check out our press page.
