    <summary>The OAIC must register Australia&apos;s Children&apos;s Online Privacy Code by 10 December 2026. What it asks of your child&apos;s apps, and where Qwizflow stands.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[The OAIC must register Australia's Children's Online Privacy Code by **10 December 2026**; the date its rules start to apply has not been set yet. If your child uses apps, games or websites — and if you are reading this, they do — it is the most significant change to their privacy protections in years, and almost nobody has told you about it.

Here is what it actually says, what it will and will not change, and what to ask any app your child uses.

## What the Code is

The Code comes from the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024, which required the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) to write rules putting children at the centre of privacy protection. It is an APP Code: it specifies how online services likely to be accessed by children must comply with the Australian Privacy Principles, and adds requirements on top of them.

Two things about its scope matter to a parent.

**It is not limited to apps built for kids.** The test is whether a service is *likely to be accessed* by children — not whether it was designed for them. A general-purpose app that your 12-year-old uses is in scope.

**Its scope grew during consultation** to include services primarily concerned with children's activities. That now reaches things most people would never think of as "children's apps" — school management systems, internet-connected baby monitors.

## What it asks of the services your child uses

The full Code is long, and the OAIC's own pages are the authority. But the themes that will change what you see on screen:

**Children get told things, not just parents.** One of the more striking proposed requirements: a service must notify the *child* when their parent is consenting on their behalf, and notify the child when another user — including a parent — is tracking their location. The Code treats a child as a person with an interest in their own privacy, rather than as an object of a parental decision.

**Default settings have to be the safe ones.** The burden shifts. The question stops being "did the parent find the setting and turn it on?" and becomes "why was it off by default?"

**Data minimisation gets teeth.** Collecting a child's information because it might be useful later is the practice the Code is aimed at.

## What to ask any app your child uses

Four questions. You can ask them of us, and you should ask them of everyone else too.

1. **Where is my child's data stored, and under whose laws?** "The cloud" is not an answer. A service storing Australian children's data offshore may put it within reach of foreign government access laws.
2. **Is my child's data used to train an AI model?** Ask directly. Many general-purpose AI tools train on user input by default on their free tiers.
3. **Can I see what the AI does with my child?** Ask what you will actually be shown — which AI features were used, a summary of each interaction, any safety flags. If a service can show you nothing at all, you are being asked to trust a black box.
4. **What happens if I ask you to delete it?** There should be a person to ask and a stated timeframe.

## Where Qwizflow stands

We are not going to claim the Code is easy for us and hard for everyone else. But we did make some choices early that we are glad of now.

**Learning records are stored in Melbourne.** Our Firestore database runs in `australia-southeast2`. Sign-in runs on Firebase Authentication in the United States, and AI requests go to Google's global endpoints — the Privacy Policy lists each one.

**Consent is per-feature, not all-or-nothing.** A parent approves each AI feature individually, and can withdraw any one of them without switching off the others. A child under 13 cannot self-consent to any of them.

**Contact details are masked before a prompt reaches an AI provider.** Email addresses and phone numbers, and names written behind a label, are masked by pattern before any AI call. A pattern cannot catch everything a child types themselves, so we ask children not to type personal details.

**You see summaries, not transcripts.** The parent dashboard shows a short summary of each AI interaction and any safety flags — never the raw chat, which stays your child's.

**Our analytics set no cookie on your child's device, and there is no banner asking them to allow one.** We use Google Analytics to see how many people find the site — but we run it with every storage permission switched off, so it writes no cookie and no identifier and sends anonymous counts instead. That was deliberate rather than convenient: the alternative is a consent banner, and a consent banner on a product used by nine-year-olds puts the decision on the person least equipped to make it. Google Signals, the feature that would otherwise link a visit here into a cross-device advertising profile, is off as well. It costs us the ability to tell a returning visitor from a new one. We think that is the right thing to give up.

One honest caveat: a product can do all of the above and still have work to do when a new Code lands. We will publish what changes for us, if anything does, rather than quietly declaring ourselves compliant.

## What parents should actually do

**Now**, pick the three apps your child uses most and ask the four questions above. The answers are usually in a privacy policy, and how hard they are to find is itself informative.

**Once the Code applies**, watch for the notifications. If an app tells your child that you have consented on their behalf, that is the Code working.

And be a little sceptical of any service that markets its compliance harder than it explains its practices. The Code is a floor, not an achievement.

## FAQ

### When exactly does the Children's Online Privacy Code start?

It must be registered by 10 December 2026. The OAIC has not yet set the date it takes effect, and a Code cannot start before it is registered.

### Does it apply to apps not made for children?

Yes, if the service is likely to be accessed by children. The test is actual likely access, not intended audience.

### Does it replace the Privacy Act?

No. It is an APP Code — it sits on top of the Australian Privacy Principles and specifies how they apply to children's information.

### Is Qwizflow free, and how does it make money?

Free to use, with a free AI allowance each month and optional pay-as-you-go credit top-ups if you want more. There is no advertising and no subscription, which is why there is no commercial reason for us to profile your child.

### Who do I contact about my child's data?

Our privacy contact is published on the Privacy Policy page. You can ask for access, correction or deletion.

    <summary>How every layer connects — the Owl Tutor chat front door, talking 3D tutors, mastery scoring, per-feature consent and what each role can see.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[Qwizflow is not just a quiz app — it is a multi-layered AI learning platform serving four distinct roles with enterprise-grade security, with learning records stored in Australia. This guide walks through how every piece fits together.

## 1. Platform Architecture

Every interaction follows the same secure pipeline — from the button you tap to the AI that responds.

1. **Your Dashboard** — the React app in your browser
2. **Secure Gateway** — auth token plus consent check
3. **Learning Engine** — business logic and mastery scoring
4. **Database** — Melbourne, Australia
5. **AI Providers** — prompts sent with email addresses and phone numbers masked by pattern

The whole path is TLS 1.3 encrypted, rate-limited to 100 requests per minute per user, protected by a 7-day recovery window, and personal details such as email addresses and phone numbers are masked by pattern before a prompt reaches AI — a pattern cannot catch everything a learner types, so we ask learners not to type personal details.

## 1b. The Owl Tutor — One Chat Front Door

Layer 1 used to mean "pick the right AI tool from a menu". With the Owl Tutor that step is gone — students describe what they want in plain language and the right tool just happens inside the same chat.

1. **You Ask** — type (or, from 13, speak) into the Owl chat
2. **Owl Reads Intent** — decides which tool fits
3. **Same Consent and Caps** — the per-feature gate still applies
4. **Tool Runs In-Chat** — cards, quizzes, voice
5. **It Remembers** — cross-session memory, 90-day history

The chat is grounded in the same single, living learner picture every other surface reads from — content level, interests, outstanding misconceptions, recent topic summaries, durable notes from parents and teachers — so whatever tool the Owl spins up sounds like "the same tutor" instead of starting from scratch. If your ask needs a feature your parent hasn't approved yet, the chat shows a one-tap bundle approval right there instead of dead-ending you. Conversations are saved for 90 days so you can pick up where you left off; older history quietly auto-expires. Replies read aloud, voice typing from 13, camera-to-chat, per-feature consent unchanged.

## 2. Feature Map by Role

Every user sees a different experience. Parents get progress tracking, AI insights, the family hub, consent controls and notes on their child's learner profile. Teachers get classroom management, analytics, teaching tools, AI assistants including lesson and unit planners, the help queue, the affective heatmap, safety flags and messaging. School admins get the roster, school-wide AI policy, the school library and school paths, compliance checks and outcomes reporting.

Students find their tools in the hub, grouped into zones:

- **Today** — assignments and what to do next
- **Learn** — learning paths, knowledge maps, study materials and the school library
- **Practice** — quizzes, review, voice quizzes, challenges and Focus Mode
- **AI Studio** — Socratic Tutor, Homework Helper, Explain Answer, AI flashcards, mnemonics, Pocket Lecture, study guides, Story Writer, Comic Explainer, Remix Studio, audio podcasts, translation, and roleplay and debate from 16
- **Compete** — live quizzes, standings and studying together
- **Grow** — progress, goals and streaks, your portfolio and achievements

## The Unified Learner Picture

Every student on Qwizflow has a single, living learner picture that the whole platform shares. When the AI Tutor answers a question, the Story Writer continues a chapter, or the Debate Arena responds to an argument, it is all reading from the same profile — so you get a consistent experience instead of starting from scratch every time. It holds:

- **Mastery Rollup** — strengths, struggles, recent topic summaries
- **Reading Level** — per-subject target reading level plus confidence
- **Pace Signature** — how long you study and when you peak
- **Affective Rollup** — confidence, frustration, mood trend
- **Mode Weights** — visual / audio / interactive / text preferences
- **Goals** — targets with countdowns and linked subjects
- **Error Taxonomy** — slip / procedural / conceptual / vocab / prereq
- **Tone Preference** — too dry / just right / too babyish signal
- **Annotations** — durable notes from parents and teachers

Plus a rolling 60-minute working memory that remembers what you just did across features, so the AI can hand off naturally when you jump from a quiz to a tutor to a story. You see your own learner picture on your profile. A linked parent can see their child's. Teachers do not read the raw picture — they see aggregated classroom analytics. Email addresses and phone numbers, and names written behind a label, are masked by pattern before a prompt leaves our servers.

## 3. Student Journey: Quiz and Mastery

1. **Choose Your Curriculum** — pick the Australian Curriculum or the US K–10 catalogue (Common Core for English and maths, NGSS* for science), choose your year level and subjects, and add ready-made topics.
2. **AI Generates Your Quiz** — an adaptive quiz calibrated to your level; a consent check ensures you have opted in to AI quiz generation, with an inline prompt if not.
3. **Answer with Live Feedback** — a live mastery bar tracks your estimated score in real time; use progressive hints or request an easier question variant when stuck.
4. **Mastery Score Calculated** — answers are scored across 5 weighted dimensions: Accuracy 50%, Calibration 20%, Concepts 15%, Effort 10%, Retention 5%.
5. **Three-Way Decision** — score 0.75 or above passes the topic and earns a trophy; 0.5–0.74 goes to remediation with a targeted study guide and up to 2 retry attempts; below 0.5 the topic is blocked and the AI generates a misconception lesson.
6. **Earn Trophies and Progress** — bronze, silver, gold and platinum trophies; the path updates, the next topic unlocks, and spaced repetition schedules future reviews.

## 4. Student Journey: Misconception Remediation

1. **Topic Blocked** — a Misconception Alert banner explains which concept is blocking progress.
2. **AI Generates a Personalised Lesson** — targeted at your exact misconception, with worked examples and visual explanations.
3. **3-Question Retest** — server-graded, with a 30-minute session limit and a maximum of 3 sessions per hour.
4. **Misconception Resolved, Topic Unblocked** — pass and your mastery updates; fail and the AI generates a new lesson targeting where you went wrong this time.

## 5. Parent Journey: Monitor and Support

1. **View Linked Children** — each card shows streak, active subjects, and a mastery snapshot.
2. **Review Progress and Weekly Digest** — mastery per subject, quiz completion, time spent, week-over-week trends, and a plain-language digest.
3. **Get AI-Powered Insights** — the Enhanced Digest identifies patterns, Help Tonight suggests dinner-table conversation starters, and the AI Coach answers questions about your child's learning.
4. **Manage AI Consent and Review Transparency** — toggle individual features in the AI Consent Centre, with age-appropriate "Explain this toggle" tooltips, a Recent Activity view (last 10 interactions per feature), Transparency Cards, a timestamped Consent Audit Log, and the AI Transparency Ledger with one-click erase and JSON export.
5. **Family Hub and Caregivers** — invite co-parents, grandparents, or tutors with per-caregiver permissions; when two parents are linked, the child has one consent record — the latest change by either parent applies, and every change is kept in a consent history both can review.

## 6. Teacher Journey: Classroom Command Centre

1. **Create and Manage Classrooms** — unique join codes, CSV bulk import, classroom-level AI policies and active hours.
2. **View Student Analytics** — the Knowledge Heatmap shows mastered (green), learning (amber), and not started (grey) concepts, with drill-down student reports.
3. **Progress Alerts Flag Who Needs a Check-In** — fixed, visible rules (three quiz scores in a row below 50%, no activity for five days, or falling mastery) raise an alert that shows its reason, only to that class's teacher; no AI model decides who is flagged.
4. **Launch a Live Quiz** — Kahoot-style with join codes, a real-time leaderboard, and exportable results.
5. **Monitor Students Live** — see who is answering, who is idle, who just had a breakthrough; one-click nudge; the AI Monitor shows aggregated AI usage patterns.

## 7. School Admin Journey: Governance and Oversight

1. **School Overview** — students, teachers, classrooms, engagement, AI adoption, compliance status.
2. **Approve Teachers** — teachers register with a secure invite code (TCH-xxxxx) and wait in your approval queue.
3. **Set School-Wide Policies** — policies cascade to all classrooms; teachers can further restrict but cannot override you to enable a feature you disabled.
4. **Check Compliance and Report Outcomes** — a compliance check covering consent records, the safeguarding counsellor, pending teacher approvals, ST4S registration and the school's AI content source, plus an outcomes view with a board-ready PDF.

## 8. Consent Architecture

Age tier determines who manages consent: under 13, AI is blocked until a parent consents (parent only); ages 13–15, AI is available if a parent approves (parent only); ages 16–17, the student can self-consent with parental override; 18+ has full autonomy.

Consent is granular per feature — quiz generation, help after a wrong answer, quiz pictures, adaptive tests, the diagnostic, Homework Helper, Socratic Tutor, the Owl chat, study guides, Story Writer, creative tools, Debate Arena, roleplay, translation, religious studies content, help requests to a teacher, the tutor unlock interview and adaptive learning, with separate switches for the grown-ups' own AI tools — and enforced by a two-sided gate: the frontend checks consent before showing any AI UI (an inline prompt appears if consent is missing), and every AI request is re-checked server-side, which cannot be bypassed from the browser. Multi-parent rule: one consent record per child, the latest change applies, and every change is kept in the consent history.

## 9. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Authentication flows from Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) to a signed, short-lived JWT, a server-assigned role check, and finally role-scoped data access. Students see their own data only (invite code CLS-xxxxx). Parents see linked children only — progress summaries, consent settings, AI insights, never raw transcripts (PAR-xxxxx). Teachers see their own classrooms only — aggregated analytics and safety flags, never raw AI conversations (TCH-xxxxx). School admins get school-wide oversight (isSchoolAdmin flag). Ownership is enforced: no horizontal privilege escalation.

## The Talking 3D AI Character Pipeline

Every voice surface — Live Tutor, Discussion Mode, Read Aloud — is fronted by a 3D character that talks as the audio plays. How a spoken word reaches the screen: the AI composes a reply anchored to the learner profile, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech renders it in the included read-aloud voice, the character's mouth shapes are generated from the words and timed to the audio, and the seconds played come out of the learner's daily read-aloud allowance. There are five voice personas to choose from, and a reduced-motion path for anyone who turns animation down.

## Your AI Allowance — You Can See It

Every learner gets a free AI allowance each month — enough for about 40 new quizzes — that starts again at the beginning of each month, plus a separate daily allowance of read-aloud time, which is smallest for the youngest learners. A battery chip in the student hub shows what is left, with a breakdown for text, pictures and voice. Qwizflow sets these allowances; a school does not edit them. Past the free allowance, a parent can add an optional one-off credit pack, and a learner can buy one for themselves from 16.

## 10. Platform at a Glance

Four roles — student, parent, teacher and school admin — with per-feature AI consent, a free AI allowance each month, and learning records stored in Australia. TLS 1.3 encryption, a 7-day recovery window, daily auto backups, a 100-requests-per-minute rate limit, and personal details masked by pattern before AI calls.

## FAQ

### Is Qwizflow free to use?

Yes — Qwizflow is free to start, with a free AI allowance each month (about 40 new quizzes) across the student, parent, teacher and school admin roles. Credit packs are optional and one-off; there is no subscription.

### Where is Qwizflow student data stored?

Learning records are stored in Australia — the database sits in Melbourne — protected by TLS 1.3 encryption, daily automated backups and a 7-day point-in-time recovery window. Sign-in runs on Firebase Authentication in the United States, and AI requests go to Google's global endpoints. Personal details are masked by pattern before a prompt reaches an AI provider.

### How does Qwizflow decide when a topic is mastered?

Quiz answers are scored across five weighted dimensions — accuracy (50%), calibration (20%), concepts (15%), effort (10%) and retention (5%). A score of 0.75 or above passes the topic, 0.5–0.74 triggers remediation with up to 2 retries, and below 0.5 generates a targeted misconception lesson with a 3-question retest.

### Who manages AI consent for a child on Qwizflow?

It depends on age: under-13 accounts have AI blocked until a parent consents, ages 13–15 need parental approval, ages 16–17 can self-consent with parental override, and 18+ has full autonomy. Consent is per-feature and enforced on both the frontend and the backend.

### What happens when a student's free AI allowance runs out?

New AI content waits until the allowance starts again at the beginning of the next month, unless a parent adds an optional credit pack or, from 16, the learner buys one. The battery chip in the hub shows what is left before that happens. Read-aloud time is a separate daily allowance.

    <content type="html"><![CDATA[Qwizflow gives students a complete learning universe — not just quizzes, but talking 3D AI tutors with real lip-sync, voice personas you can choose, creative studios, competitive arenas, a portfolio wall, an "ask a teacher" button on every screen, and a free AI allowance you can watch in your hub. Free to start — organised here by what you want to do.

## Learn — Your Personalised Curriculum

**Learning Paths.** Pick the Australian Curriculum or the US K–10 catalogue (Common Core for English and maths, NGSS* for science) and choose ready-made topics by year level and subject. Each topic unlocks the next once you reach its pass mark. From 16, you can also type any subject and get a whole path on it.

**Multi-Path Management.** Study multiple subjects at once and switch between your Maths, Science and English paths with a single tap; each tracks its own progress independently.

**AI Study Guides and Flashcards.** Any topic can become a ten-slide study guide with a quick-check question on every slide, or a flashcard deck.

**Concept Graph.** See every concept you have touched connect up on an interactive knowledge map, so you can tell what a new topic builds on before you start it.

**Your Own Documents (from 13).** Snap a photo of a textbook page or upload a PDF, and turn it into a study guide, a quiz or a set of flashcards.

## Practice — Smart Quizzes That Adapt to You

**Adaptive Quiz Engine.** Every quiz adjusts in real time: get a question wrong and the AI serves an easier variant; nail three in a row and difficulty ramps up, with a live mastery bar throughout.

**Diagnostic Pretest.** Before a new subject, a 15–25 question diagnostic shows which topics to start with.

**Computerised Adaptive Testing (CAT).** A psychometrically calibrated test that estimates your true ability level in real time, selecting each question from your previous answers.

**Misconception Lessons and Micro-Quizzes.** The AI generates a personalised lesson targeting your exact misconception, followed by a 3-question retest; separate micro-quizzes hit your weakest concepts with 5 targeted questions.

**Hints, Easier Questions and Retry Variants.** Progressive hints without the answer, easier versions on request, and AI-generated variants of a concept you got wrong.

**Spaced Repetition Reviews.** Automatically scheduled reviews of material you are about to forget, so each concept comes back just before it fades.

## Owl Tutor — One Chat for Everything AI

**One Chat, Every AI Tool.** Tap the floating Owl at the bottom of any page and a full-screen chat opens with a talking 3D character at the top. Type (or, from 13, say) what you want in plain language — "make me flashcards on photosynthesis", "quiz me on fractions", "write a story with me", "explain this homework photo" — and the right tool just happens inside the chat. You can attach a photo from your camera and the tutor reads it.

**Type, Tap or Speak — Your Choice.** Type or tap a suggestion; from 13 you can also tap the microphone to dictate. The tutor reads the reply aloud in your chosen voice persona — Maya, Aria, Liam, Tom, or Professor Owl. Slash-commands like /quiz, /flashcards, /story, /explain and /debate skip straight to a mode.

**It Remembers What You Asked.** Say "now make that easier" or "do another one like that" and it knows what you mean; conversations are saved for 90 days, then older history quietly expires.

**One-Tap Approval When Something New Needs It.** If a tool needs your parent's consent (or yours, if you're 16+), the chat shows a single bundle approval right there and picks up exactly where it paused.

## AI Tutors — Your Personal Teaching Team

**Live Tutor with a Talking 3D Character.** An animated 3D character talks you through it: its mouth shapes are generated from the words and timed to the audio. The panel adapts to your screen — side panel on a laptop, half-sheet on a tablet, full-height sheet on a phone — without losing your place.

**Socratic Tutor (Text and Voice).** Guides you to the answer through Socratic questioning — never just giving it away. In the Live Tutor you type or tap a suggested question and every reply is read aloud; from 13 you can dictate with the microphone. Read-aloud time comes from a daily voice allowance you can see.

**Homework Helper.** Upload a problem or type it in; the AI breaks it down step by step and takes follow-up questions in a natural chat.

**Adaptive Explanations and "Explain Like...".** Every explanation adapts to your level — or gets rewritten in the style of a sports commentator, a pirate, or a scientist while keeping the accuracy.

**Owl Chat — Your Always-On Study Companion.** A friendly AI owl in the corner of every page that knows your learning history, gives personalised suggestions, and chats publicly even before you sign in.

## When You Are Stuck — Three Levels of Help

**Cloud Read Aloud in Five Voices.** Tap the speaker icon on any question stem, AI explanation, or study guide and a real, neural-quality voice reads it back. Choose Maya (warm Aussie), Aria (bright American), Liam (calm British), Tom (energetic Aussie) or Professor Owl (wise British narrator) — the voice can soften when you have been frustrated, and words gently glow as they are read.

**The Idle Nudge — "Need a hand?".** Sit too long without an answer and a friendly owl offers three options: a hint, the question read aloud, or Discussion Mode. Calibrated to your pace, and it only fires once per question.

**Discussion Mode — Two AI Voices Talking It Out.** Scout (curious learner) and Sage (wise teacher) discuss the topic out loud while you listen, with proper lip-sync on both sides. Interject any time — it is the third path between giving up and looking up the answer.

**Ping Your Teacher with One Tap.** Still stuck? Tap "Ask a Teacher" and your teacher gets a short AI-written brief of what you were working on, what you tried, and where you got stuck — you see the status update without leaving Qwizflow.

## Create — Express Yourself Through Learning

**Story Writer.** Co-write stories with the AI — you write a paragraph, the AI continues, weaving in concepts from your learning path.

**Debate Arena and Roleplay Chat (16+).** Debate the AI on any topic while it argues the opposite side and scores your reasoning, or step into a historical roleplay as a world leader, scientist, or lawyer.

**Comic Explainer, Audio Podcasts and Remix Studio.** Turn any concept into a comic strip, a podcast episode, or a remix — song lyrics, news articles, scripts, or infographics.

## Compete — Earn, Battle, and Rise Through the Ranks

**Daily Nuggets and Curiosity Quests.** Every morning the AI rebuilds a 5-item Daily Nugget queue from your weakest topics, current misconceptions, and one curiosity prompt. Curiosity Quests come in two flavours: a daily exploration quest rewarding topic variety, and a weekly AI-generated deep-dive that follows what you have been genuinely curious about.

**Streak Flame Inferno (5 Tiers and a Decay Window).** Your streak chip is an animated flame that grows hotter as your streak compounds — Spark (days 1–2), Ember (3–6), Fire (7–29), Inferno (30–99), Plasma (100+). Near the end of the day the flame visibly weakens as a reminder; if a streak breaks, one dignified ceremony plays — no shaming, no daily nag.

**Live Class Quiz (Flock Mode).** Join your teacher's live quiz from your phone with a 6-character code and a nickname, race the class through AI-generated questions, and finish on a podium. Nicknames only — peers never see real names.

**Battle Arena, Blitz Mode and Ranked Duels.** 1v1 quiz battles against a friend or a random opponent, 60-second Blitz rounds, and season-long duel ratings.

**Classroom Challenges.** Compete in teacher-launched classroom challenges with live leaderboards.

**FairScore Leaderboard and Momentum Meter.** The weekly leaderboard ranks on a five-component FairScore — mastery, diversity, streak, effort, and challenger — instead of raw XP. Tap your row to see how each component contributed; the Momentum Meter shows today's contribution and rank delta.

**Trophies and Achievements.** Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum trophies for every mastered topic — append-only and never demoted — plus hidden achievements.

## Customise — Make It Yours

**Voice Persona Picker and Adaptive Mood.** Pick from five voice personas in the included read-aloud voice, or let the platform choose based on your mood — calmer when frustrated, more upbeat when flying. An optional Studio Pack adds Studio Voice, a more natural voice in any supported language (never under 13; for 13–15 only when a parent switches it on), and Studio Pictures for history, geography, English and other humanities questions.

**Content Level and Difficulty Mode.** Choose Beginner through Expert content and an Explorer (relaxed), Standard, or Challenger (strict) mastery threshold; the platform adjusts difficulty, explanations, and pass requirements.

**Customisable Dashboard and Accessibility.** Drag-and-drop widgets, font sizing, contrast modes, reduced motion, screen reader optimisation, and age-banded visual density.

## Wellness — Beyond the Classroom

**Mood Check-ins, Focus Mode and Frustration Support.** Optional mood check-ins, a Pomodoro-style Focus Mode, and proactive support if you get three wrong in a row — take a break, switch topics, or get easier content.

## Social — Learn Together

**Study Rooms, Study Buddies and Messaging.** Collaborative study rooms, buddy matching on similar topics, and moderated in-platform messaging.

**Portfolio Wall (Weekly).** Each week the platform collects highlights of your work — a story you wrote, a debate you won, a topic you mastered — into a Portfolio Wall card. Tap "Caption" and the AI drafts a short reflection you can edit before saving (max 220 characters, your words at the end). Only your linked parent and your classroom teacher can view your wall.

**Student Showcase and Profile Card.** A shareable profile card of your achievements, streaks, and mastery levels.

**Peak-Hour Nudge Preferences.** The platform learns the hour you focus best and can send one gentle nudge then — override the hour or turn nudges off entirely. At most one nudge a day.

## Insights and Goals — Understand How You Learn

**Knowledge Galaxy.** Every concept you have ever touched lives in your personal galaxy — bright stars are mastered, dim ones are waiting, and constellations link related ideas. Open it any time from your dashboard.

**Goals with Exam and Career Countdowns.** Set a real target — an exam, a scholarship, a career path — with a date and linked subjects, and Qwizflow rebuilds your path around it, showing a live countdown and a green / amber / red pace check. The pace check measures the practice target you set yourself against the time left, so it tells you whether you are keeping to your own plan — it is not a judgement about how an exam will go. Parents can co-set goals with you.

**Error Analysis — Slips vs Real Gaps.** Qwizflow tells whether a wrong answer was a slip, a procedural mistake, a conceptual misunderstanding, a vocabulary trip-up, or a prerequisite gap — so you stop re-practising the easy misses.

**Curiosity Quests (Weekly, AI-Guided).** Qwizflow notices what you have been curious about lately and generates a weekly deep-dive quest that follows the thread.

**"Too Dry / Just Right / Too Babyish" Fit Rating.** Every AI-generated explanation, story, and study guide has a simple 3-way rating; one tap and the next piece of content adjusts.

## Transparency You Can See

**AI Allowance Meter (Battery Chip).** A battery chip in your hub shows how much of your free AI allowance is left, with a breakdown for text, pictures and voice. The AI allowance is monthly and starts again at the beginning of each month; read-aloud time is a separate daily allowance.

**Your Learner Profile Card.** See exactly what the AI knows about you — mastery rollup, reading level, pace signature, mood signal, preferred learning modes, goals, error taxonomy, and any notes visible to you. You can request removal of any annotation about you.

**Per-Feature Recent Activity.** For any AI feature, see your last 10 interactions — feature, AI provider, timestamp, and a short summary.

## Free to Start — Packs Are Optional

Qwizflow is free to start: every learner gets a free AI allowance each month — enough for about 40 new quizzes, starting again at the beginning of each month — and the battery chip in your hub shows what is left. If you want more, a parent can buy an optional one-off credit pack (no subscription), or you can buy one yourself from 16 — under 16, you never pay, and you can send your parent a one-tap request instead. An optional Studio Pack adds Studio Voice, a more natural read-aloud voice, and Studio Pictures, an illustrated scene for history, geography, English and other humanities questions (maths and science keep their free drawn diagrams); under 16, a parent switches it on for you. The free voice and the free drawn pictures stay included for everyone.

## FAQ

### What can students do on Qwizflow?

Learn along a curriculum path, practise with adaptive quizzes, get help from AI tutors and the Owl Tutor chat, make stories, comics and podcasts, compete in live quizzes, and track their own progress — all free to start, with a free AI allowance each month.

### What is the Owl Tutor?

A single chat behind the floating owl button on every page. Students say or type what they want in plain language — flashcards, a quiz, a story, homework help — and the right tool happens inside the chat, with replies read aloud (and voice typing from 13), slash-commands, and conversations saved for 90 days.

### What help does a student get when stuck on a question?

Three levels: an idle nudge offering a hint, read-aloud or Discussion Mode; Discussion Mode itself, where Scout and Sage talk the topic out with lip-synced voices; and a one-tap "Ask a Teacher" that sends the teacher a short brief of what was tried.

### Which voice personas can students choose?

Five: Maya (warm Aussie), Aria (bright American), Liam (calm British), Tom (energetic Aussie) and Professor Owl (wise British narrator). The voice can also adapt to mood — softer when you're frustrated, brighter when you're flying.

### How does the streak flame work?

The streak chip grows hotter through five tiers — Spark (days 1–2), Ember (3–6), Fire (7–29), Inferno (30–99) and Plasma (100+). It visibly weakens near the end of the day as a reminder, and a broken streak gets a single dignified ceremony — no shaming.

    <summary>Weekly digests, per-feature AI consent, the Parent Transparency Ledger and real mastery data — everything a parent needs to help without hovering.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[As a parent, you want to stay involved in your child's education without hovering over their shoulder. Qwizflow's Parent Dashboard gives you clear visibility into what your child is learning, AI-powered insights to guide conversations at home, durable notes that the AI tutor actually carries forward, and full per-feature control over which AI tools your child can access — with an interaction log to back it up.

One thing your child will use a lot is the **Owl Tutor** — a single chat behind a floating owl button at the bottom of every page. Instead of hunting through a menu of separate AI tools, they just say or type what they want and the right tool happens right there inside the chat — with a talking 3D character, replies read aloud, voice typing from age 13, and slash-commands for power users. Every part of that chat is still governed by the per-feature consent you set in the AI Consent Centre — if your child asks for something that needs your approval, the chat shows a one-tap bundle prompt instead of dead-ending them, and every interaction still shows up in the Parent Transparency Ledger as a short summary of up to 80 characters.

## Monitor and Track — Know What They Are Learning

**Linked Children Dashboard.** See all your linked children at a glance — active subjects, current streak, mastery progress, and recent activity — and tap any child to dive deeper.

**Child Progress Report.** A detailed per-child view of mastery scores across every subject, topics completed this week, time spent learning, quiz accuracy trends, and areas of strength or struggle.

**Weekly Digest.** A clear weekly summary of what your child accomplished — topics mastered, quizzes taken, streaks maintained, goals hit. No jargon, just the highlights.

**Family Activity Timeline.** A chronological feed of learning activity — logins, study sessions, milestones, and badges.

**Goal Progress Tracking.** Set learning goals with your child and track them together — including real targets like an exam window, a scholarship exam, or a career path, with a target date, linked subjects and a live countdown. The green / amber / red beside it measures the practice target you set against the time elapsed — a pace check on your own plan, not an estimate of exam readiness.

**Durable Notes on Your Child's Learner Profile.** Leave short written notes that Qwizflow's AI carries forward into future sessions — context it cannot guess from quiz data, like "Emma has exams in two weeks, go gentle on new material". You choose whether each note is parent-only, visible to your child, or shared with their teacher. Up to 25 active notes per child, and your child can ask for any note about them to be removed.

## AI-Powered Insights — Understand, Don't Just Monitor

**Enhanced Weekly Digest.** Goes beyond numbers to identify patterns — like consistently better morning sessions, or strong problem-solving alongside reading comprehension that needs support.

**Help Tonight — AI Conversation Coach.** Before dinner, tap "Help Tonight" for conversation starters based on what your child learned today.

**Weekly Narrative and Recommended Actions.** A natural-language story about your child's week — like a teacher's note — paired with specific recommended actions.

**Parent AI Coach.** Chat directly with an AI coach about your child's learning and get specific, data-backed advice tailored to their actual performance.

## Family Hub — Manage Your Household

**Family Hub Dashboard.** One place to manage all family members linked to your children's accounts — invite grandparents, co-parents, or tutors as caregivers with customisable permission levels.

**Caregiver Permissions and Check-ins.** Control what each caregiver can see and do, from full access to view-only. When multiple parents are linked, the child still has one consent record: either parent can change it, the latest change applies, and every change is kept in a consent history both parents can review.

## Consent and Controls — You Decide What AI Does

Qwizflow gives you granular per-feature control over every AI tool.

**AI Consent Centre with Age-Banded Tooltips.** Toggle individual AI features on or off — Socratic Tutor, Quiz Generation, Story Writer, Debate Arena, Discussion Mode, Owl Chat, Ask a Teacher, Adaptive Learning, and more. Tap "Explain this toggle" for an example tailored to your child's age tier (under-13 / 13–15 / 16+).

**Transparency Cards.** For every AI feature: what data is collected, how it is used, where it is stored, who can see it, and how long it is retained. No legalese.

**Per-Feature Recent Activity.** Expand any feature to see your child's last 10 AI interactions with it — feature, AI provider, timestamp, and a short summary.

**Consent Audit Log.** A complete, timestamped history of every consent change — who changed what, when, and from which device.

**Age-Appropriate Access and Quiet Hours.** Under-13 accounts are locked to parent-managed consent; ages 13–15 need parental approval; from 16, students can self-manage with parental override. Quiet Hours disable notifications when you choose.

## AI Transparency Ledger — See What the AI Knows

**AI Context Summary.** The AI-visible learning context held for your child: content level, selected interests, active misconceptions, and short server-built topic summaries — never raw chat transcripts.

**AI Interaction Log.** A reverse-chronological feed of AI interactions: feature, provider, timestamp, and a plain-English summary capped at 80 characters, with email addresses and phone numbers masked before it is stored.

**Sub-Processor Summary.** See which AI provider handled each feature on your child's behalf, matching the sub-processor register in the Privacy Policy.

**Forget AI Context (Right to Erasure).** One click erases the writable AI context. Trophies, quiz pass history, and the learning path are preserved.

**Export JSON Bundle.** Download the AI context, interaction log, and sub-processor summary for offline review or parent-teacher interviews.

## Credits and the Studio Pack — Cost Awareness Without Surprise Bills

Qwizflow is free to start: every learner gets a free AI allowance each month — enough for about 40 new quizzes, and it starts again at the beginning of each month. If your family wants more, you can buy an optional one-off credit pack — A$6.99, A$14.99, A$29.99 or A$59.99, with no subscription. Children under 16 never pay; a pack is bought by a parent, or by a learner aged 16 or over for themselves.

**Credit Packs.** One-off and optional — buying one signs you up for nothing ongoing, and unused paid credits can be refunded in-app.

**Top-Up Requests.** When your child runs out of their free allowance and taps to ask for more, the request lands in your dashboard with Approve / Decline buttons — approving takes you to the credit-pack checkout.

**Studio Pack (Optional).** A separate balance for Studio Voice, a more natural voice for read-aloud, podcasts and lessons in any supported language, and Studio Pictures, an illustrated scene for history, geography, English and other humanities questions (maths and science keep their free drawn diagrams). One Studio credit is one Studio Picture or 1½ minutes of Studio Voice, and the free voice and free drawn pictures stay included for everyone. Studio Voice: never under 13, and ages 13–15 only when a parent switches it on. Studio Pictures: any age; under 16 only when a parent switches them on, and under 13 also only with a parent's consent to AI quiz pictures. A child's Studio use comes from your Studio balance, and you switch it on for each child.

## FAQ

### What can parents see on the Qwizflow Parent Dashboard?

Linked children at a glance (subjects, streaks, mastery), a detailed per-child progress report, a weekly digest, a family activity timeline and goal tracking — plus AI-powered insights like the Enhanced Weekly Digest and Help Tonight conversation starters.

### Can parents control which AI features their child uses?

Yes. The AI Consent Centre offers per-feature toggles with age-banded "Explain this toggle" tooltips, Transparency Cards for each feature, a timestamped Consent Audit Log, and a per-feature Recent Activity view showing the last 10 interactions.

### Can parents read their child's AI chat transcripts?

No — and that's deliberate. The AI Transparency Ledger shows summaries only: an interaction log capped at 80 characters per entry, the AI-visible context summary, and a per-feature sub-processor breakdown — never raw transcripts.

### What are durable notes on a child's learner profile?

Short written notes the AI carries forward into future sessions — context it cannot infer from quiz data, such as upcoming exams or revision routines at home. Each note's visibility is parent-only, child-visible or shared with the teacher; up to 25 active notes per child, and the child can request removal.

### Do parents have to pay for Qwizflow?

No — Qwizflow is free to start, with a free monthly AI allowance for every learner (about 40 new quizzes). Optional one-off credit packs (A$6.99, A$14.99, A$29.99 or A$59.99, no subscription) and an optional Studio Pack can be bought by a parent; children under 16 never pay, and a child's top-up request waits for your approval.

    <summary>Classrooms, live quizzes, AI lesson and unit planners, a student help queue, a k-anonymous affective heatmap and the safeguarding ladder — one dashboard.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[Qwizflow gives teachers a command centre for their classrooms — not just grades, but real-time student analytics, AI-powered assistants that help you differentiate instruction, live competitive quizzes, an in-product help queue your students can ping you on, a weekly affective heatmap of how your topics are landing, durable notes the AI tutor will respect, AI lesson and unit planners, and safeguarding workflows that support your duty of care.

On the student side, your class now has a single front door for every AI tool — the **Owl Tutor**, a floating chat students open from any page to ask for flashcards, quizzes, story help, homework explanations or a debate partner in plain language. Nothing has gone around your existing controls: every classroom AI policy, every safety flag rule, every aggregated-only privacy promise, and every per-feature consent gate still applies to whatever the Owl Tutor invokes. You don't get raw chat transcripts (you never have) — but the affective heatmap, help queue and Progress Alerts all keep working unchanged.

## Classroom Management — Set Up and Run Your Classes

**Create and Manage Classrooms.** Create classrooms per subject or year group, invite students via unique join codes, and view the full roster with each student's progress at a glance.

**Bulk Student Import.** Paste or upload names and Qwizflow generates an invite code for each student.

**Classroom Policies and Schedules.** Set AI feature policies per classroom (for example, disable Story Writer during exams), configure active hours, and override individual student settings when needed.

**Classroom Theme Editor.** Brand your classroom with custom colours, mascots, and motivational messages.

**Live Student Monitoring.** Watch activity flow in real time — who is answering, who is idle, who just completed a quiz — with a one-click nudge to re-engage distracted students.

## Analytics and Insights — See the Full Picture

**Classroom Analytics Dashboard.** Average mastery per topic, quiz completion rates, time-on-task, and week-over-week trends, filterable by topic, time range, or student group.

**Individual Student Reports.** Mastery per concept, quiz history, learning velocity, and a strength-and-weakness breakdown — exportable for parent-teacher interviews.

**Progress Alerts.** Fixed, visible rules flag students in your class who may need a check-in — three quiz scores in a row below 50%, no activity for five days, or falling mastery. Every alert shows its reason and is shown only to that class's teacher; no AI model decides who is flagged.

**Knowledge Heatmap and Curriculum Coverage.** A colour-coded grid of mastered (green), learning (amber), and not-started (grey) concepts, overlaid against your curriculum's topic list.

**Durable Notes on a Student's Learner Profile.** Leave short notes the AI carries into every subsequent session — "Has a reader modification for extended time", "Responding well to visual explanations this term". Pick per-note visibility (teacher-only, student-visible, or shared with the linked parent); up to 25 active notes per student, removal on student request, every note auditable.

## Teaching Tools — Engage Your Classroom

**Create, Assign and Grade.** Assignments linked to specific topics, assigned to individuals, groups, or the whole class, with AI-suggested feedback you can edit before sending.

**Live Quiz (Kahoot-Style).** Students join from their devices, questions appear on the big screen, and a real-time leaderboard drives friendly competition. Export results after.

**Classroom Challenges.** Multi-day challenges with live classroom leaderboards.

**Question Bank and Question Checks.** Browse, create, and calibrate questions. Every generated question is checked before it is saved — it must have a full set of options and its marked answer must be one of them — and you can report any question for review.

**Smart Group Formation.** AI-suggested groupings based on ability levels, learning styles, and social dynamics — mixed-ability for peer tutoring or ability-matched for targeted instruction.

## AI Assistants — Your Teaching Co-Pilot

**Teacher Copilot — Daily Feed.** A personalised morning briefing: which students need attention, which topics are trending well, upcoming assignments, and suggested focus areas.

**Teacher AI Chat.** Ask "Which students are ready for extension work on fractions?" or "Generate a worksheet on photosynthesis for my struggling group" and get instant, data-informed answers.

**AI Assignment Generator.** Differentiated assignments based on your classroom's actual knowledge gaps, generated per ability group and structured on your curriculum.

**Differentiation Engine.** Automatically serves each student the right level — foundation, standard, or extension — without you creating three versions of every resource.

**AI Lesson Planner.** Pick a topic for one of your classrooms and get a structured lesson plan, then use **Assign starter quiz to class** to send the class a quiz on it in one click.

**AI Unit Planner.** Plan a multi-lesson scheme of work for a classroom, and assign it to the class with one assignment per lesson.

## Engagement Loop — Stay Connected to Every Student

**Teacher Help Queue (Student-Initiated).** Students tap "Ask a Teacher" from any quiz question, AI explanation, or rationale card. You receive a short AI-written brief with the topic, the question, what they tried, and relevant learner-model context. Acknowledge, answer, or dismiss with a note — every transition is logged, and students see the status without leaving Qwizflow.

**One-Click Teacher Nudges.** Send a 200-character nudge straight into an active study session from the Nudge Roster Panel — rate-limited to one nudge per student per five minutes per teacher.

**Classroom Affective Heatmap (k-anonymity = 5).** A per-topic engagement signal — confident, neutral, frustrated, disengaged — in aggregate only: any topic with fewer than 5 contributing students renders as "not enough data" instead of singling anyone out.

**Student Portfolio Wall (Weekly View).** Each student's weekly highlights — artefacts, mastered topics, cleared misconceptions, and AI-drafted captions the student edited — a natural surface for parent-teacher interviews.

**Classroom Leaderboard Insights.** Four teacher-only tiles — average classroom FairScore, participant count, low-engagement count, and top topics by activity. Aggregated only; never raw transcripts.

## Safety and Communication — Duty of Care Built In

**Safety Flags (Duty of Care).** Create, view, and resolve safety flags; concerning AI interactions are flagged for your review.

**Safeguarding Escalation Ladder.** Every flag moves through a defined state machine — Open → Acknowledged → Actioned → Resolved, with Escalated reachable from Acknowledged or Actioned. Each transition requires a written note, escalations route automatically to the named school counsellor, and every flag carries a full transition history for duty-of-care audits.

**AI Interaction Monitor.** Aggregated summaries of AI usage in your classroom — never raw transcripts — designed around the Australian Privacy Principles.

**Group and Direct Messaging.** Message students or broadcast to the class, with all messages logged and moderated.

## FAQ

### What does the Qwizflow teacher dashboard include?

Classroom management, analytics and insights, teaching tools such as live quizzes and assignments, AI assistants including the lesson and unit planners, the student help queue, the affective heatmap, and safeguarding workflows.

### Can teachers see students' AI chat transcripts?

No — teachers never receive raw transcripts. You see aggregated analytics, the k-anonymous affective heatmap, short help-queue briefs, and flagged usage patterns only.

### How does the Teacher Help Queue work?

A student taps "Ask a Teacher" from any question or explanation; you receive a short AI-written brief showing the topic, the question, what they tried, and learner-model context. You acknowledge, answer, or dismiss with a note, every transition is logged, and the student sees the status inside Qwizflow.

### What is the safeguarding escalation ladder?

A defined state machine for safety flags — Open → Acknowledged → Actioned → Resolved, with Escalated reachable from Acknowledged or Actioned. Each transition requires a written note, escalations route to the named school counsellor, and the full transition history supports duty-of-care audits.

### How are teacher nudges kept from becoming spam?

Nudges are capped at 200 characters and rate-limited to one nudge per student per five minutes per teacher, sent only to students with an active session.

    <summary>Roster and classes, school-wide AI policy, a private school library, outcomes reporting and compliance evidence — the school admin command centre.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[Running AI tools in a school requires governance. Qwizflow's School Admin dashboard gives principals and IT coordinators one place to manage teachers, set school-wide AI policies, run the school's own content library and learning paths, see school-wide AI use in aggregate, and produce compliance evidence — with learning records stored in Australia.

On the student side, the AI experience is anchored by a single front door — the **Owl Tutor**, a floating chat any student can open from any page. Governance-wise this changes nothing you need to manage differently: it is a dispatcher, not a new AI feature. Every per-feature parental consent gate, every AI allowance, every safeguarding flag rule and every data-storage commitment still applies to whatever a student asks for through the chat. School admins keep aggregated-only visibility (you never see chat transcripts), and short conversation summaries are kept for 90 days before they expire.

## School Management — Your Admin Command Centre

**School Overview.** At-a-glance figures for the whole school — teachers, students, classrooms and engagement — beside pending teacher approvals, outstanding invites and recent activity.

**Teacher Management and Approval.** Invite teachers via secure invite codes, review pending registrations before access is granted, see each teacher's classrooms and activity, and remove or reassign as needed.

**School-Wide AI Policies.** Default AI feature policies cascade to all classrooms. Teachers can further restrict within their classrooms but cannot override school policy to enable a feature you have disabled.

**Safeguarding Counsellor Configuration.** Name the school counsellor (name, email, phone) who receives every escalated safety flag, plus the "notify parent on escalate" preference. A configured counsellor is a prerequisite for teachers to escalate any flag — without it, escalations are blocked with a clear error.

## Your School's Own Content

**School Library.** A private library your staff upload documents, links and media into, and your students read from in their School Library. Every upload is scanned before a student can open it.

**School Paths.** Build learning paths from your school library and give them to your students, so their topics come from your own material.

## Compliance and Outcomes — Stay Audit-Ready

**Compliance Report.** One report on your school's posture: AI consent coverage, your safeguarding counsellor, pending teacher approvals, your ST4S registration, and where the school's AI content comes from.

**Outcomes.** A KPI row for your teachers and approvals, the school reports panel, and a board-ready PDF covering the school profile and compliance posture, generated from data already on the dashboard.

**School-Wide AI Use.** AI use across the school in aggregate only — learners and staff in separate sections, never a per-learner row — with a stamp showing when the figures were last worked out.

## AI Allowances — Predictable for Every Learner

**Allowances Set by Qwizflow.** Every learner gets a free AI allowance each month — enough for about 40 new quizzes — that starts again at the beginning of each month, plus a separate daily read-aloud allowance that is smallest for the youngest learners. Qwizflow sets these allowances; a school does not edit them.

**Visible to Students.** Students see a battery chip in their hub showing what is left for text, pictures and voice, so running low is never a surprise.

## Tools — Before You Roll Out

**Responsive Design Preview.** Preview the platform across desktop, tablet, and mobile before rolling out to students.

## Trust and Safety Built Into Every Layer

**Learning records stored in Australia.** Student learning records are stored in Australia (Melbourne region) with Point-in-Time Recovery (7-day window), delete protection, and daily automated backups.

**Role-Based Access Control.** Four roles — Student, Parent, Teacher, School Admin — with strict boundaries: teachers see aggregated analytics, parents see their own children only, students see only their own data. No lateral access.

**Security Posture.** TLS 1.3 encryption, Content Security Policy headers, rate limiting (100 requests per minute per user), and email addresses and phone numbers, and names written behind a label, are masked before any AI call.

## FAQ

### What does the Qwizflow School Admin dashboard cover?

Teacher management and approval, school-wide AI policies, safeguarding counsellor configuration, the school library and school paths, school-wide AI use in aggregate, outcomes with a board-ready PDF, and a compliance report.

### Can teachers override school-wide AI policies?

No. Policies cascade to all classrooms — teachers can further restrict within their own classrooms, but they cannot enable a feature the school has disabled.

### How do AI allowances work in a school?

Qwizflow sets them, and a school does not edit them. Every learner gets a free AI allowance each month that starts again at the beginning of each month, plus a separate daily read-aloud allowance, and students can see what is left in their hub.

### Where is school data stored and how is it protected?

Learning records are stored in Australia (Melbourne region); sign-in runs on Firebase Authentication in the United States, and AI requests go to Google's global endpoints. Learning records have Point-in-Time Recovery over a 7-day window, delete protection, daily automated backups, TLS 1.3 encryption, CSP headers and per-user rate limiting, and email addresses and phone numbers, and names written behind a label, are masked before any AI call.

### What goes into a Qwizflow compliance report?

AI consent coverage, your safeguarding counsellor, pending teacher approvals, your ST4S registration, and where the school's AI content comes from.

    <title>AI Study Guides: Ten Short Slides and a Quick Check on Each</title>
    <link href="https://qwizflow.com/blog/ai-study-guide-generator" />
    <published>2026-03-20T00:00:00.000Z</published>
    <updated>2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z</updated>
    <author><name>Qwizflow Team</name></author>
    <summary>How a Qwizflow study guide works: ten short slides, each ending in a quick-check question, made from a topic or from your own notes.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[## What a Study Guide Is

A Qwizflow study guide — the **Study Quest** — is ten short slides on one topic. Each slide explains one idea in three or four sentences and ends with a **Quick Check**: a question to answer in your head before you reveal the answer. You move through the slides one at a time, and you can download the finished guide as a PDF.

## What the Ten Slides Cover

The first five build the idea: what it is and why it matters, the core principles, how the parts connect, a worked example, and one deeper or surprising point. The second five put it to work: where it shows up in everyday life, solving a problem step by step, the common mistakes and how to avoid them, how it links to related topics, and a summary of the key takeaways.

## Listening Instead of Reading

On any slide, tap **Listen as podcast** and two voices, Scout and Sage, talk that slide through as a short conversation. Younger learners get a speaker button on each slide that reads it aloud.

## From Your Own Notes

From 13, you can upload your own study material — a PDF or a photo of a page — and turn it into a study guide, a quiz or a set of flashcards. A PDF is read on Qwizflow's own servers. The text in a photo is read by Microsoft Azure AI Vision in Australia East, which does text recognition only and does not keep the image. Learners under 13 cannot upload files.

## After the Guide

When you have been through the slides, take the topic's quiz to check what stuck. Your answers become a mastery score, and that score decides whether the next topic on your path opens.

## FAQ

### What is in a Qwizflow study guide?

Ten short slides on one topic. Each explains one idea in three or four sentences and ends with a quick-check question, and together they run from what the idea is to the common mistakes and a summary.

### Can I make a study guide from my own notes?

Yes, from age 13. Upload a PDF or a photo of your notes and Qwizflow turns it into a study guide, a quiz or a set of flashcards. Learners under 13 cannot upload files.

### Who reads the text in a photo I upload?

Microsoft Azure AI Vision, in Australia East. It reads the printed or handwritten text and does not keep the image or the text afterwards. A PDF is read on Qwizflow's own servers instead.

### Can I listen to a study guide?

Yes. Tap Listen as podcast on a slide and two voices, Scout and Sage, talk it through. Younger learners get a speaker button that reads each slide aloud.

    <summary>Your path drawn as a small galaxy of subjects and topics, the concept map of everything you have studied, and the mastery check that unlocks each step.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[## Where a Path Comes From

A learning path is a set of subjects, each made of topics in order. You start one by picking the Australian Curriculum or the US K–10 catalogue (Common Core for English and maths, NGSS* for science), choosing your year level and subjects, and adding ready-made topics. From 16, you can also type any subject and get a whole path on it. If your school uses Qwizflow, your teacher can also give you a school path built from the school's own material.

## Your Path, Drawn as a Galaxy

The path view draws each subject as a sun and each of its topics as a planet in orbit around it. The topic you are on glows gold, so you can always see where you are, and a topic you have finished is marked as complete. Tap any planet to open that topic.

## How a Topic Unlocks the Next One

Each topic ends with a quiz, and your answers are turned into a mastery score. Reach the pass mark and the topic is done and the next one opens. Fall just short and you get a targeted study guide and another try; fall well short and Qwizflow works out the misconception behind your answers and gives you a short lesson on it first. You choose how strict the pass mark is — see [how the Adaptive Learning Engine scores mastery](/blog/adaptive-learning-engine).

## Your Concept Map

Under **Knowledge Maps** in your hub, **My Galaxy** shows the concepts you have studied as stars, linked to the concepts they build on and coloured by how well you know each one. It is a different view from your path: the path is the order you study in, and the map is what you know so far.

## Your Interests, If You Want Them

You can pick interests on your profile, but they stay out of the AI until you switch on **Personalise AI with my interests** in Settings — it starts off. Once it is on, the study slides along your path can use your interests in their examples.

## Your Own Documents

From 13, you can also upload your own notes — a PDF or a photo — and turn them into a study guide, a quiz or a set of flashcards. See [how a Qwizflow study guide works](/blog/ai-study-guide-generator).

## FAQ

### What does a Qwizflow learning path look like?

Each subject is drawn as a sun and each of its topics as a planet in orbit around it. The topic you are on glows gold, finished topics are marked complete, and you tap a planet to open it.

### How does the next topic unlock?

Each topic ends with a quiz. Reach the pass mark and the next topic opens; fall just short and you get a targeted study guide and another try; fall well short and you get a short lesson on the misconception behind your answers first.

### Where do the topics come from?

From the ready-made catalogue: the Australian Curriculum or the US K–10 catalogue, by year level and subject. A school can also give its students paths built from the school's own material.

### Does Qwizflow use my interests to shape my path?

Only if you switch on Personalise AI with my interests in Settings. It starts off, and until you turn it on the AI does not use the interests you picked.

    <summary>How the Adaptive Learning Engine scores five mastery dimensions, what happens below the bar, and how the threshold you pick sets the score to pass.</summary>
    <content type="html"><![CDATA[## Personalised Education That Actually Listens

No two students learn at the same pace. That's why we built the **Adaptive Learning Engine**. Every time you submit a quiz, our system scores you across **five dimensions** — accuracy (50%), calibration (20%), concept mastery (15%), effort quality (10%), and retention (5%) — and produces a single mastery score between 0 and 1.

## A Three-Way Decision (Not a Hard 80% Gate)

On the Standard setting, score **0.75 or above** and the topic is mastered — earn a trophy, move on. Score **0.5 to 0.74** and you enter remediation: a targeted study guide, then up to two retry attempts. Score **below 0.5** and we identify the misconception, generate a personalised lesson, and run a 3-question retest to unblock you.

## Choose Your Threshold

Pick **Explorer** (relaxed, 0.65), **Standard** (0.75), or **Challenger** (strict, 0.85) in your Mastery Settings. Your choice sets the score a topic needs to pass.

## Explain Answer: Why a Wrong Answer Was Wrong

After a wrong quiz answer, tap **Explain this answer**. The AI walks through, step by step, why the correct answer is right and why yours was not, adds a tip for avoiding the same mistake, and leaves you with a follow-up question to think about. You can also open **Explain Answer** from your hub and type in any question, its correct answer and the answer you gave.

## FAQ

### How does the Qwizflow Adaptive Learning Engine score mastery?

Every quiz submission is scored across five weighted dimensions — accuracy (50%), calibration (20%), concept mastery (15%), effort quality (10%) and retention (5%) — producing a single mastery score between 0 and 1.

### What happens if a student scores below the mastery threshold?

A score of 0.5 to 0.74 triggers remediation — a targeted study guide plus up to two retry attempts. Below 0.5, the engine identifies the misconception, generates a personalised lesson, and runs a 3-question retest to unblock the topic.

### Can students choose how strict the mastery threshold is?

Yes — pick Explorer (relaxed, 0.65), Standard (0.75) or Challenger (strict, 0.85) in Mastery Settings. Your choice sets the score a topic needs to pass.

### Is there a hard 80% pass gate in Qwizflow?

No — mastery is a three-way decision, not a hard gate: 0.75 or above passes, 0.5 to 0.74 goes to remediation with retries, and below 0.5 leads to a personalised misconception lesson.
