Make room for questions.
A useful learning conversation gives people time to explore a topic, explain their thinking, and ask for another way through. Dialogue is central to the PRISM experience.
PRISM by EMPHOSIn development
Learning built around
the learner.
We’re developing PRISM as an AI learning experience that brings conversation, guided practice, and steady progress together. Clear explanations, flexible pacing, and room for questions are at the heart of the experience we’re building.
Start with a question.
Build from there.
Learning often begins with a moment of curiosity or a concept that needs another explanation. Our aim is to make it easy to ask, try an example, practise an idea, and return to it with a clearer understanding.
Keep the next step manageable.
Clear examples and focused practice can make a larger topic easier to approach. We’re designing around steps that let learners build confidence as they go.
Six ways to
move understanding forward.
PRISM’s development brings together six learning experiences, from a first explanation to the moment a learner is ready to revisit and apply an idea.
Guided learning
Introduce a concept through clear explanations, worked examples, and questions that invite the learner to take part.
Practice
Build familiarity through repetition and varied examples, with space to try again and work through the steps.
Exploration
Follow a question, make connections, and discover how a topic relates to something the learner already cares about.
Check understanding
Use focused questions and practical examples to explore what makes sense and what would benefit from another look.
Refocus
Make room for a shorter explanation, a different example, or a fresh starting point when the learner wants another approach.
Review
Return to earlier material, reconnect the ideas, and use what has already been explored as a starting point for the next session.
See the progress.
Find the next step.
We’re shaping PRISM around continuity: useful context from earlier work, a clear view of the topics being explored, and a practical starting point when learning continues.
What we covered
A clear account of the ideas, examples, and questions explored during a session.
What to practise
A useful way to identify material worth returning to and opportunities for further practice.
Where to go next
A connection between the work already done and the next topic, question, or learning activity.
Different people.
Different ways to learn.
People bring different needs, preferences, and experiences to learning. These differences are part of our design work, from the language on screen to the pace and structure of an interaction.
Clear language
Use understandable explanations, concrete examples, and a clear connection between each step.
Flexible pacing
Make space to pause, repeat, revisit, or spend longer with a concept.
Readable interaction
Keep text, controls, and navigation clear, with accessibility considered throughout the experience.
Learner choice
Give people approachable ways to ask for help, try a different explanation, and express what they need next.
Thoughtful design.
Practical learning.
The next stage of PRISM brings the learning experience, the needs of its users, and the controls around it into a focused development programme.
The learning flow
Connect explanation, practice, review, and session continuity into an experience that is easy to follow.
Privacy & control
Develop clear choices around learner information, session records, and access to the learning experience.
Support around the learner
Consider how parents, educators, and support professionals can stay connected to learning goals and progress.
Evaluation with people
Bring educator insight and learner feedback into the work on explanations, accessibility, and everyday interaction.
