6.4 Using CurricuLLM as a Classroom Assistant

CurricuLLM can be used live in the classroom to support teaching, answer student questions, and provide on-the-spot examples or activities.

How you can use it

• Quick examples on demand:
  • "Show me a model paragraph comparing two characters."
  • "Give me a worked example of a percentage discount problem."
• Student practice during class:
  • "Generate three short practice questions for Year 7 science right now."
  • "Ask students guiding questions about today's history topic."
• Clarify concepts immediately:
  • "Explain the difference between speed and velocity in simple terms."
  • "Give me a diagram of the water cycle for the whiteboard."
• Support group activities:
  • "Suggest discussion prompts for small groups working on a civics project."
  • "Provide debate topics suited for Year 10 English."

Teacher tips

• When students use CurricuLLM, it will naturally use Socratic questioning, asking guiding questions back instead of just giving answers. This keeps learning active and helps students think for themselves.
• Use it to save time in the moment, not replace your teaching.
• If students are asking their own questions, remind them to keep prompts clear, curriculum-aligned, and safe.

Why it helps

CurricuLLM can act as a helpful extra voice in the room, ready with examples, explanations, or practice questions. Teachers can manage the class more smoothly and respond flexibly to student needs.
