Next, Flint will automatically generate all the underlying prompts to ensure that the AI will follow the rules of The Oregon Trail. As part of this process, Flint automatically generates a grading rubric.

Grading rubric with A-F levels generated by Flint by default

By default, the generated rubric is formatted as A-F. However, the teacher can manually edit this rubric to make it more appropriate for this game.

Edited rubric to only have two options: suriviving and winning the game or perishing and losing.

As soon as students start the session with the AI tutor, they get to play a digitized version of the original card game!

And, thanks to Flint’s image generation, powered by DALL·E 3, students can ask the AI to help them visualize game scenarios to help bring them to life.
