(EN)đŸȘ„How to use Mathew's chatbot to create activities

1. Introduction

Mathew's chatbot is a tool that lets teachers generate personalised exercises adapted to their syllabus quickly and easily.

If at any point the automatically generated activities don't fit your needs, the chatbot will help you adjust them or create new ones from scratch.


2. Prerequisite: upload the theory content

Before using the chatbot, it is essential that you have the content available on the platform.

Steps:

  1. Go to My Content

  2. Enter the Theory content section

  3. Select the relevant class

  4. Click Upload new content (if you haven't already)

💡 Important: The chatbot needs this content in order to generate relevant and tailored exercises.


3. Accessing the chatbot

Once you have the content loaded:

  1. Go to the Mathew chatbot > Mathew icon located in the bottom right corner.

  2. Start interacting with it using clear instructions


4. Generating exercises with the chatbot

You can ask the chatbot for different types of activities according to your needs.

Examples of instructions:

  • “Create 6 multiple-choice questions about topic X”

  • “Give me fill-in-the-gaps questions”

  • “Generate a critical reflection question about
”

  • “Create first-degree equation exercises”

  • “Create a compare-and-contrast question”


5. Adjusting and improving the results

The chatbot works iteratively, which means you can improve the results progressively.

Recommendations:

  • Adjust the difficulty level

  • Ask for changes to the format

  • Request more examples

  • Specify the type of students

💡 The more precise you are, the better the results.


6. Creating the activity in Mathew

Once you have the exercises:

7. Entering the exercises

In this section you can:

  • Copy the question generated by the chatbot

  • Add answer guidelines (optional)

  • Create as many exercises as you need

💡 Note: You don't need to include the correct answer. Mathew handles it automatically, although you can add guidelines to steer the grading.


8. Reusing materials

If you already have exercises created:

  • You can copy them directly into the platform

  • Reuse and adapt them easily

This makes the transition to digitalisation easier without losing previous work.


9. Grading and customisation

In the next step you can:

  • Weight the exercises

  • Create assessment rubrics

Mathew will automatically grade the activities within a few minutes.


10. The teacher's role

Although Mathew automates the grading:

  • The teacher reviews the grades

  • Adjusts the feedback according to their pedagogical judgement

✅ The teacher always has the final say


11. Conclusion

The chatbot lets you:

  • Create personalised activities in just a few minutes

  • Adapt the content to your students
