How it works

Set the learning. Guide the work. Review the reasoning.

Create a guided activity around your objective, choose learning points for each learner and inspect the work behind their progress. You remain responsible for the material and the next teaching decision.

Follow the teaching cycle ↓

01Activity creation

Turn your learning objective into an activity.

Start with what you want learners to learn. Choose a Guided Lesson, Mastery Check or Interactive Scenario, then review the learning points before assigning it.

For example, turn an objective about comparing fractions into a guided discussion, a check of understanding or a café roleplay.

Shape the content
Select suggested learning points or write your own. Choose written responses or multiple-choice questions for each point.
Set the support
Choose the teaching tone, then select your learners and adjust their learning points where needed.
From objective to assignment: creator settings
  1. Learning objective

    Start with what learners should learn.

    Enter the learning objective for the activity.

  2. Learning mode

    Choose how they will engage.

    Guided Lesson for supported learning, Mastery Check to check understanding, or Interactive Scenario for roleplay.

  3. Learning points

    Choose what the activity will cover.

    Select suggested learning points, or write your own. For each learning point, choose Written for text-based responses or Quiz for multiple-choice questions.

  4. Teaching tone

    Set the tone of the conversation.

    Choose how Acarise addresses and supports learners as they work through the activity.

  5. Students

    Assign, then adapt where needed.

    Choose the learners who will take the activity. Add or remove learning points for individual learners before assigning it.

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 the conversation

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 conversation and evidence behind that judgement.

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 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.

02Guided learning

Support each learner as they work through it.

Learners complete the activity in Acarise, explaining ideas, practicing and applying what they know. Questions and hints help them develop their reasoning at their own pace.

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 open a learner’s responses and conversation. Use the evidence to decide what needs more practice and where learners are ready to go further.

Review learner work and the conversation behind each progress indicator.

A closer look with Mastery Check

See how much support an answer involved.

Mastery Check feedback distinguishes independent work from work completed with support. Open the conversation to understand 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 conversation, 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 conversations 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.

Choose the route that fits.

Educators can request access to explore the current product. Schools can agree a focused pilot around one teaching question.

Getting started

Teachers sign up, confirm their email and select “Request educator access”. Our team approves access before teaching begins. Learners join through a teacher’s group invite link.

Acarise is a standalone app. External integrations and parent or co-teacher roles are not currently available.
