Notes for staff

Practice Tasks in Stage 1 and 2

The practice tasks are now self-paced and category-based rather than weekly. Students can access all tasks through the main tasks page.

Psybot

PsyBot is a tool that allows students to get instant formative feedback on their practice tasks and some stage 1 assessments. More here

Group tutorials

These occur for stage 1 in week 2 and 5. More information here

Staff Role

Tutors should support students by:

  • Recommending relevant tasks: When topics in your lectures or workshops align with practice tasks, mention them to students
  • Encouraging PsyBot use: Students can get instant AI feedback by uploading completed tasks to PsyBot
  • Office hours support: Use your regular office hours to discuss practice work with students
  • Feedback collection: Please forward any student comments about the system to Ben Whalley

Assessment Practice Tasks

The new Assessment Practice category contains tasks designed to provide formative feedback on elements of summative assignments. These tasks:

  • Target specific skills needed for assessed work
  • Provide AI-powered formative feedback
  • Help students improve before submitting actual assignments

Monitoring Progress

You can see which tasks your tutees have completed via PsyBot submissions.
