Oracle

The drafting chat for educators. Open it while you write an Echo, Spark, or Flux task. Learners do not have Oracle — Socrates is the coach while they sit the work.

What Oracle is

Oracle drafts Echo, Spark, and Flux tasks while an educator writes them. It is not a Lab card, and learners do not see it. Socrates is the coach while someone sits the work.

Indi LearnerDoes not have Oracle. Uses Socrates while sitting Spark or Flux.
Indi EducatorOpen Oracle from any page and ask it to draft or refine a pack. It does not sit with the learner.

Where you use it

  1. Open Oracle from any page — Lab, a subject, or the dashboard.
  2. Ask it to draft or refine an Echo, Spark, or Flux task. The create form opens with that draft.
  3. Review the form, then assign. The learner sits the work with Socrates, not Oracle.
There is no class switch for Oracle. Learners do not have it while they sit the work. Socrates is the in-task coach.
