What is an AI Avatar?

Think of an AI Avatar as your personal digital twin - like having a super-smart clone that can help your students even when you're not available. It's like training a highly capable teaching assistant who learns to think and respond just like you would.

How Does It Work?

First, It Gets to Know You

Imagine you're training a new teaching assistant. You would:

• Share your teaching materials

• Show them how you explain things

• Demonstrate how you give feedback

• Explain your teaching style

That's exactly what happens with your AI Avatar! You feed it your materials and it learns your unique style.

Then, It Starts Helping

Once trained, your AI Avatar can:

• Answer student questions in your style

• Grade assignments the way you would

• Provide explanations using your preferred methods

• Give feedback that sounds like it's coming from you

Real-Life Examples

Use Case 1: Late-Night Study Help

Let's say a student is studying at 11 PM and gets stuck on a math problem. Instead of waiting until the next day, they can ask your AI Avatar, which will explain it using your teaching approach.

Use Case 2: Personalized Feedback

When a student submits practice work, your AI Avatar can instantly review it and provide feedback using your typical style and standards.

Use Case 3: Exam Preparation

During exam season, your AI Avatar can help multiple students simultaneously individually, offering practice questions and explanations just like you would in a review session.
