Guides

Background reading to reflect well and use the toolkit safely — plus guidance, testing and resources for tutors and educators.

Reference

Reflective frameworks

Plain summaries of the models the toolkit uses: Gibbs, What? So What? Now What?, Kolb, Brookfield's lenses and the DEAL model — and how to choose.

Safety

Anonymisation and confidentiality

Why removing a name is rarely enough, what counts as identifying, and how to write about real people responsibly in a reflection.

Approach

The teaching approach

How the tutor works, why it refuses to ghost-write, and the pedagogy behind the questions it asks.

For tutors

Guide for tutors and teachers

How to introduce the toolkit safely, set clear rules, protect the people students write about, and use AI feedback as part of learning.

For tutors

The deployment check

A ten-minute test you run on your own setup to confirm a tool behaves like a tutor and refuses to ghost-write, before using it with students.

For educators

Why educators should consider this

The case for using a structured prompt library to guide independent student AI use, rather than banning it or leaving students to improvise.

Resources
