AI-tutor learning portal

One learning portal with an AI tutor that answers a student at the point they get stuck, and gives teachers a per-student picture they could not assemble by hand.

The challenge

The group ran coursework in one system, assessment in another and pastoral notes in a third. A teacher wanting to understand why one student had stalled had to reconcile three sources by hand, so in practice nobody did.

The pressure was arithmetic rather than pedagogical. As cohort sizes grew, the amount of individual attention a teacher could give each student fell, and the students who needed it most were the ones least likely to ask.

What we built
  1. 01

    One place for the course

    Lessons, materials, submissions and grades in a single structure teachers set up once per term rather than per class.

  2. 02

    An AI tutor with a narrow job

    It answers a student on the material in front of them, at the moment they stall. It is scoped to the course content deliberately — a general chatbot in a classroom is a liability, not a feature.

  3. 03

    A per-student picture

    Progress, submissions, stalls and tutor conversations resolved into one view a teacher can read in under a minute before a class.

  4. 04

    Assessment that closes the loop

    Assignments and marking feed the same record the tutor and the teacher view read from, so the picture is current rather than reconstructed.

How we worked

A dedicated pod across product, frontend, backend, AI and QA, with a working demo every Friday for the academic leads — not only the IT contact. Teachers found the things the specification missed, which is the entire argument for showing real software early.
