Core Strategies & How to Prompt

1) Use Real-Time Performance Feedback

Adapt lesson content or challenge level based on quiz outcomes. Offer easier questions for low scores, harder ones for mastery.

Prompt: "Add adaptive logic so quiz difficulty increases after 80% accuracy."

2) Enable Self-Paced Learning

Let learners control when to move forward. Include "pause and resume" or "review before continuing" options.

Prompt: "Enable self-paced progression with resume options and checkpoints."

3) Offer Optional Support and Hints

When learners struggle, automatically suggest help blocks or summaries. Add "Try Again" or "See Example" features for confidence building.

Prompt: "Add adaptive hints for learners who answer incorrectly twice."

4) Reward Growth, Not Speed

Focus feedback on improvement, not completion time. Reinforce persistence and progress through badges or praise.

Prompt: "Add a 'Persistent Learner' badge when learners retry quizzes multiple times."

5) Personalize Recommendations

Suggest next modules based on learning style and performance data. Automatically skip mastered topics for efficiency.

Prompt: "Recommend new modules based on completed content and quiz performance."
