Description

Learning interactives are generated in four stages (Figure 2): Planning (from a teacher request to learning objectives and a simulation idea), Scaffolding (from objectives to K=5 levelled goals), Gen-UI (from idea and goals to a generated simulation UI), and Guidance (tour, hints, solutions, feedback). The textual planning stage produces entities, relations, telemetry, visual features, knobs and actions; the scaffolding stage iteratively generates and critiques each level's goal; the Gen-UI stage applies generate-then-refine with visual, solution, telemetry and mechanical critiques. A collection of teacher-approved interactives is available at research.google.com/p/learning-interactives.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • An educator-initiated request specifying subject, grade level and query, with teacher review/approval of generated learning objectives

Constraints

  • Single-prompt UI generation satisfying pedagogical requirements succeeds only 3.5% of the time, so iterative critique loops are required

Target Learners

  • Students of teacher-creators across STEM subjects and grade levels

Learning Goals

  • Topic-specific STEM learning objectives defined or approved by the teacher
