Exit mechanism routing guide
How post-question pedagogy is chosen from student outcome and confidence (1–5).
Overview
After each question, students rate confidence 1–5 before seeing feedback. The platform routes to pedagogy blocks configured for that outcome and confidence level.
Confidence timing
Question confidence (1–5) is collected before revealing correct/incorrect. Ladder topic confidence (1–10) is separate and collected between ladder steps.
States A–F
Wrong 1–2 (A), wrong 3–5 (B — error analysis locked), right 1–2 (C), right 3 (D), right 4 (E), right 5 (F).
Subjects
Pick a subject area on the question type editor to see tailored notes in each row tooltip.
Conditional learning blocks
Exit routing picks which blocks run after each question. Inside each block you can add conditional branches (IF / ELSE IF) with different content per branch.
1. Assign blocks in the exit routing matrix (outcome × confidence).
2. Expand a block and click Add branch.
3. Write a condition (e.g. student answer differs from correct value) and fill that branch's content slots.
4. Fill the default content section — this is the ELSE when no branch matches.
In Manual build, use the full branch editor with live condition validation. In AI-assisted lanes, describe branches in Advanced Description and let AI materialise the content slots.
Platform rules (non-configurable)
Error analysis is always first for incorrect 3–5. Pre-reveal confidence is mandatory. Teachers cannot disable these rules.
Subject-area modifiers
Subject weighting adjusts mechanism choice within each scenario — it does not override platform rules.
Mathematics
Best: self-explanation, generation cloze. Avoid: mnemonics for procedural work.
Sciences
Best: elaborative flip, error analysis. Good: mnemonics for taxonomy.
Psychology & social sciences
Best: elaborative flip with real-world examples, free recall.
History & humanities
Best: spaced reconstruction, free recall. Avoid: error analysis for interpretive answers.
Languages
Best: generation cloze, spaced reconstruction.
Computing
Best: self-explanation, error analysis for bugs.
Medicine
Best: error analysis, mnemonics for canonical lists.
Law
Best: elaborative flip, error analysis for rule application.
Business & economics
Best: elaborative flip, free recall for frameworks.
