The Tutor Panel

The Tutor Panel turns a Tutor from a personal assistant into a classroom tool. Owners and editors use the Member tab for roster and evaluations. Structured goals and live monitoring live in Live Class (from a Classroom, or the Tutor Panel Live Class tab once you join a session).

Member tab (owners & editors)

Open your Tutor β†’ Member tab to:

  • Students β€” add or remove students; see questions asked and last activity; open History for read-only conversations.
  • Collaborators β€” invite co-teachers (when the tutor is not linked to a classroom).
  • Evaluations β€” generate tutor evaluation reports (see Evaluate student learning).

If the tutor is linked to a Classroom, the roster is managed by the classroom (read-only here). Open the classroom Member tab to change who has access.

Tasks live in Live Class

Structured learning goals are Live Class tasks β€” not a separate Missions section on the Tutor Panel.

  1. Link the Tutor to a Classroom (Classroom β†’ Tutor β†’ Link).
  2. Create a Live Class from that linked tutor (see Create a Live Class).
  3. Add tasks (title, description, and optional finish condition). Use Improve with AI to refine wording.
  4. Go live and monitor mastery on the Live Class Tasks / Students tabs.

Students see tasks in their Live Class panel while a session is running.

Structured goals are authored as Live Class tasks. An internal mission-checking tool may still appear in some agent traces β€” it is not a separate Missions tab.

Session controls

During a live session, Student Controls help manage classroom pace:

  • Mute Students β€” block new messages from students (and pushes to Interactive Threads).
  • Request Frequency Limit β€” minimum seconds between student messages.
  • Interactive Threads post frequency β€” minimum seconds between student pushes to Interactive Threads (0 = no limit).

Students may see these limits in the chat status bar (muted, cooldown, or not yet joined). Settings can auto-reset when you leave a session.

Live Class (from Classroom) is the full classroom-scoped experience β€” roster monitoring, tasks, insights, pull invite, and Thread. See the Live Class collection.

Interactive Threads

Students can Push to Interactive Threads so the teacher sees a conversation on the projector or shared screen. Teachers can also Post to Interactive Threads from the Live Class roster.

  1. Join or open a Live Class session.
  2. Open the Thread tab (Interactive Threads).
  3. View student-pushed threads; collapse or expand messages as needed.

Pushing is blocked while students are muted, and rate-limited by the Interactive Threads post frequency setting.

Pair Live Class tasks with Evaluations (Member tab) to review how students engaged with the Tutor over time.
