How the AI Works
When you chat with EduArc, you’re talking to an AI assistant that:- Understands your uploaded content and can reference it
- Knows educational structures like lesson plans, assessments, and study materials
- Can modify and enhance your generated content in real-time
- Has access to tools like our question database and chemistry renderer
Writing Good Prompts
Be Specific About What You Want
- Good
- Too Vague
“Add key definitions in boxes, three worked examples, and five practice problems to Chapter 3.”
Include Context When Helpful
- Good
- Missing Context
“This is for GCSE students who are just learning quadratic equations. Keep explanations simple and include visual diagrams.”
Ask for Changes Directly
- Good
- Indirect
“Move the summary to the beginning of the page and add bullet points.”
Common Prompt Patterns
Adding Content
- “Add a quiz about photosynthesis with 10 multiple choice questions.”
- “Add an introduction page that explains what students will learn in this course.”
Modifying Content
- “Expand the explanation of derivatives to include more examples.”
- “Shorten the introduction to just two paragraphs.”
- “Change the heading from ‘Chapter 1’ to ‘Getting Started with Python’.”
Adding Features
- “Add flashcards for all the key terms in this section.”
- “Add a hint system to the practice problems.”
- “Add a table comparing mitosis and meiosis.”
Reorganizing
- “Move the examples before the theory explanation.”
- “Put all the practice problems at the end of each chapter.”
Using Special Features
Question Database
Ask the AI to find exam questions:The AI has access to 22,000+ questions from IGCSE, A-Level, STEP, and math competitions. See the Questions Database guide for details.
Chemistry Diagrams
Request molecular structures:Interactive Elements
For course websites, you can add:Tips for Better Results
One thing at a time
Make one request per message. This gives clearer results than combining multiple changes.
Review as you go
Check the preview after each change. It’s easier to course-correct early.
Be patient with math
Mathematical content takes a bit longer to render. Wait for the preview to update.
Iterate freely
Don’t worry about getting it perfect first try. The AI is designed for back-and-forth refinement.
What the AI Can’t Do
To set expectations:- No internet access: The AI can only work with your uploaded content and its built-in knowledge
- No real-time data: It can’t fetch current news, prices, or live information
- Limited image generation: It can include existing images and diagrams but can’t create new illustrations
Example Conversation
After uploading your lecture notes and selecting the Course Website template, EduArc generates your site automatically. Here’s how you might refine it:1
Review the generated content
EduArc has created a site with chapters based on your notes. Browse the preview to see what needs improvement.
