How it works

  1. 1

    Before

    Before opening AI

    Pause, clarify the intention, then use three simple rules to formulate the request without removing the student’s work of thinking.

    • STOP
    • INTENTION
    • FORMULATION
  2. 2

    With AI

    Choose how AI should work with the student

    Choose one of eight dialogue postures according to the student’s intention. The protocol then separates requests made to AI from decisions that must remain with the student.

  3. 3

    After

    Step back after the response

    Read actively, verify elsewhere, explain in one’s own words and decide what to do with the response.

    • OBSERVE
    • VERIFY
    • APPROPRIATE
    • DECIDE
