4.1 How to Ask Safe, Curriculum-Aligned Questions
How students can get helpful, safe answers.
CurricuLLM is a tool that gives students answers that are safe, clear, and linked to what they are meant to learn at school. This AI for schools is designed specifically for education, which is different from general AI tools you might find online.
Why it matters
When students look up answers online, they can find things that are confusing, not related to their work, or even unsafe. CurricuLLM makes sure answers are:
- Curriculum-aligned – linked to what schools teach.
- Age-appropriate – safe for the student's age.
- Focused – keeps the answer on the right subject.
How students can use it
- Ask a clear question.
- Example: "Can you explain how fractions work?"
- Example: "Give me practice questions on photosynthesis."
- If the question is too broad, CurricuLLM may ask for more details, like the subject or year level.
- Sometimes it may answer with a question back to help the student think through the problem.
- The system then gives an answer or a follow-up question that matches what the student should learn at their stage.
Student tips
- Be clear: instead of "help with maths," say "help with multiplying fractions."
- If the first answer is hard to understand, ask CurricuLLM to explain in another way.
- Be ready for CurricuLLM to ask a question back, because that helps you learn more.
- You can ask for examples, practice questions, or step-by-step help.
Everyday example
CurricuLLM is like a study buddy with the school curriculum in front of them. Sometimes they explain the answer, and other times they ask you a question to make you think. Either way, it helps you learn the right way.
Safety note
CurricuLLM has built-in filters to block or redirect unsafe or inappropriate questions. This keeps all learning safe and age-appropriate.
