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.
