Watching a CrashCourse YouTube video can serve as a quick and engaging introduction to a new unit. But, it can be difficult to gauge whether students fully understood the content or just found the video to be entertaining.
On top of that, creating assessments based on YouTube videos can be taxing for teachers. With Flint, the AI can process the transcript of any YouTube video and assess a student’s understanding of the content in 1-1 conversations.
In this example, as you can see below, the teacher provided the link to the YouTube video — a CrashCourse Philosophy video by Hank Green on Aristotle & Virtue Theory — to Flint. Additionally, the teacher specified a specific learning objective that students should have met having watched the video.
Flint automatically sets up an AI tutor that is designed to evaluate how well the student has understood the contents of the video. The behavior of the AI can be understood by viewing the auto-generated rules.
To use this AI tutor as an exit ticket, we can make it timed and also set a deadline so that it will expire just after the end of class.
During the conversation with the AI, students will be quizzed by the AI about various aspects of Aristotle’s virtue theory, as covered in the CrashCourse video.
As students answer questions correctly, the AI will ask more advanced questions to test the student’s understanding.
Once the student has submitted their session (or when the 10-minute timer is up or when the deadline has passed), they’ll get immediate feedback highlighting their strengths as well as any areas for improvement. This data is available to the teacher as well.
