protégéGloam is confused about your lesson. Your students explain it in their own words until it gets it. They learn by teaching, and you see exactly what they understand.
Free and open source. For Windows and Mac. Runs on one school computer, AI included, and nothing about your students ever leaves it.
Nothing in Protégé looks like a test. Students win by explaining, and you get the clearest picture of their thinking you've ever had.
Before class
Upload your notes, slides or a Word file. Gloam drafts the lesson on your computer: the key ideas, the wrong ideas students usually have, and the questions it will ask. You read it, change anything, and approve it. Students only ever see what you approved.
In class
Gloam starts out confidently wrong. It asks questions, misunderstands in believable ways, and slowly gets it. Each idea it finally understands lights a candle on its journey. Gloam never gives the answer away. It's the one learning.
While they teach
Each student's candles show which ideas they explained well and where they're stuck. "What the class thinks" shows the wrong ideas many students said out loud. Read any conversation, and correct any candle: the candles are Gloam's estimate, never a mark.
The class's grade picks the world, the words and the Gloam. A kindergartner and a grade 12 student both teach, but nothing feels too babyish or too hard.
Every student screen has "Ways to play". The settings follow each student to any Chromebook, and teachers can switch them on as an accommodation.
Made for schools from the first line of code, starting with Ontario's privacy and accessibility laws.
