3.8 Using Student Emulation
How to test student-facing responses as a teacher.
Teachers can mimic a student role to see how CurricuLLM will answer in class.
How it works
- In the chat panel, click the Emulation button.
- Pick the student role you want (like "Full Filtering", "No Filtering").
- A new chat will open, locked to that role.
- The chat will show in your history with a special icon.
- Hover over the icon to see which role you picked.
Why this helps
- Lets teachers test how questions are answered for different student levels.
- Helps you plan lessons, guess student questions, and adjust teaching.
- Makes sure the filters, tone, and questioning style for students work properly.
Learning check-ins in emulation
When emulating a student, the learning check-in will appear just as it would for a real student — if CurricuLLM has no progression data for the emulated student in the subject being discussed. This lets you see exactly what your students will experience. Any progression data generated during an emulated session is tagged as emulated and does not affect the real student's progression data.
