How this site uses AI

AI supports journal feedback and follow-up discussions, quiz hints, the Practice Tutor, Explain It, Ethics Court, topic challenges, learning insights, simulator help and tour explanations. Ordinary quizzes use fixed answer keys, and map progress comes from recorded quiz results.

It guides while you are working. While you are attempting a task, the AI is instructed to offer a question or hint, never the finished answer. When you choose to reveal the mark scheme for a practice question, it explains that scheme. Simulator help explains the controls and concepts. In Ethics Court, it presents an opposing argument for you to respond to.

It leaves grades to your teacher. Ordinary quiz results come from fixed answer keys. Points may confirm immediately, after teacher review, or automatically when eligible. Practice Tutor marking is formative feedback. Your teacher remains responsible for school grades and other significant decisions about students.

Daily limits apply. AI features have daily limits to manage availability and cost. Some activities show a remaining allowance or a wait before the next request.

AI feedback can be wrong, incomplete, or inconsistent, and it can occasionally slip past its own instructions and say more than it should. Treat it as formative guidance: compare it with the course materials, and ask your teacher when something does not seem right. If a response is incorrect or gives too much away, report it with the in-app feedback tool. Reports help identify responses that need review.

EduCS sends AI requests to an outside AI provider, under a commercial agreement that keeps your text out of model training and deletes it after a short period. Depending on the feature, requests include the task, submitted text, recent conversation, simulator state and selected summaries of your learning activity. The app does not send the name you sign in with, your join code, or your account ID as account details. Text you enter can still contain personal information.

AI feedback and activity records are stored in the app’s database and linked to your account. They support feedback history, teacher review and usage limits. These records are removed when your account is deleted. Teachers can review them, but this is not a live support service.

The journal and the AI features are learning tools, not a confidential support channel, and nothing you write in them is read by a person the moment you send it. Keep private or identifying information out of them. If something personal or urgent is going on, talk directly to a trusted adult at your school.

If something you write suggests you may be unsafe, CSBot will point you to a trusted adult, and your teacher will be told so they can check in.

AI gives students more opportunities to ask questions and get feedback between lessons. Teachers remain responsible for assessment and classroom decisions. For questions, use the contact page on educs.me.
