This is a fun concept, and I love the name!

I’m curious why you didn’t use multiple choice for the exercises? I feel like those would be easier than typing out full answers and be closer to MOOC style homework. Maybe have a longer written question at the end of a section.

The exercises work pretty well, I like the highlighting red wrong vs. green right. It does feel a bit like the MOOC-style discussions. The tutor doesn’t just tell you the answers which is cool, but something about talking with the tutor feels a bit flat. And the flashcards weren’t very helpful for the course I picked.

I could see myself doing some courses like this with some more gamification. Being able to filter by course provider (Ycombinator, or MIT) would be cool too.

Thanks! We do have multiple choice questions now (agreed) but some of the older courses were generated when there were only short answer.

Anything specific we could improve about talking to the tutor? Definitely will add some of those features and gamify better.

Maybe give the tutor some personality or persona (having it speak as the instructor). I’m probably off base with that suggestion, though.

Again, very cool idea. I'm going to try some of the nuclear courses later this week.

Best of luck!

Please don't, or at least don't without a looooooooooot of behind-closed-doors trial and error. There are few things more off-putting then an AI try-hard "i am a quirky hooman with quirky hooman personality traits".
