When you are reviewing student code, you can generate AI Hints that will point out where the program can be improved. AI Hints can be accessed within the Code Editor.
💡 AI Hints are only available for teachers to generate. Students do not have the ability to generate AI Hints or feedback for themselves.
Using AI Hints in the Code Editor
When viewing a student's code in the editor, click More > Conversation.
Select the arrow on the right of the blue Generate AI Hint button to choose the type of hint you'd like to create: General Hint, Identify Problem, or Identify Problem and Offer Solution.
Click the Generate AI Hint button to create a draft of the hint text. If you didn't choose a hint type, a General Hint will be generated.
Edit the message.
Once you are happy with the text, click Send to share the hint with the student. AI hints will not be shared with students unless the Send button is clicked.
Optional: Give feedback on the hint that was generated!
