9.3 Checking Accuracy and Cross-Referencing

CurricuLLM is designed to give curriculum-aligned answers, but teachers and students should still use professional judgment to confirm accuracy.

Why this matters

• AI tools summarise information but can sometimes oversimplify or misinterpret.
• Cross-checking builds trust in the system while keeping learning rigorous.

How to check

• Compare with curriculum documents → ask CurricuLLM to show the outcome or content description it is linking to.
• Check against class materials → verify with textbooks, teacher notes, or school resources.
• Use a second source → if an answer feels uncertain, confirm it with a trusted website, journal, or reference book.

For teachers

• Encourage students to treat CurricuLLM as a first draft or guide, not the final word.
• Use it as a tool to start discussions, e.g. "Does this answer match what's in our syllabus?"
• Model cross-referencing in lessons so students learn the habit.

For students

• Don't assume every answer is perfect, check it against your notes.
• If something doesn't look right, ask follow-up questions like:
  • "Which curriculum outcome does this match?"
  • "Can you explain that another way?"
• Remember that double-checking is a normal part of learning.

Summary

Accuracy improves when answers are cross-referenced. Treat CurricuLLM as a partner in learning, confirm, compare, and question its responses just as you would with any other resource.
