Instruction Scope

After signing in, open Account and choose Settings. Use Instructions for to choose Personal or a course you teach. On the Classes page, Class settings opens the same view with that course selected. Check the course name before saving. Personal instructions apply only to your own Personal work, class instructions apply to work assigned to that class, and guest work uses the default instructions.

Listening Guy instructions for the CAIL Teaching Tools Demo class, with Class instructions and What changed? fields, Save, Preview, and Reload buttons, and the Prompt reference section
Class instructions for the demo course under Account → Settings.

Listening Guy Instructions

Under Listening Guy instructions, tell Listening Guy what you want students to work on and how you would like it to respond. You can mention a concept or your students' experience with music. You can write up to 2,000 characters. The app adds your instructions to its fixed system prompt for each guide and answer, and you cannot edit the fixed prompt.

Describe the change under What changed?, up to 240 characters, then choose Save. New answers use the instructions immediately, and the app generates a new guide the next time someone requests one. To reset the instructions, clear the field, say what changed, and save. Preview shows the assembled prompt sent to the model, and Reload loads the saved version again. Under Prompt reference, System prompt shows the fixed prompt and History lists each saved revision with its note.

Class Roster

With a course selected, Class roster lists class assignments and recorded app activity. See Classes for the roster and folders on the Classes page.

Teaching Examples

The demo course introduces monophony, or one melody, and polyphony, or different melodies sounding together. Students can listen to the recording to consider how the parts relate. Listening Guy does not receive the recording or its waveforms, so students need to listen to check its descriptions.

You might ask Listening Guy to explain a concept in language your students can use, or to say when it is unsure. Read the saved course conversations to see how students are using it.

Search Examples

With Personal selected under Instructions for, expand Search examples to choose the songs suggested in the Splitter search field. Class instructions are edited separately for each course.
