AccuLearn

1. What AccuLearn is

AccuLearn is a learning platform for Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management 1 (FABM 1). It delivers lesson materials and quizzes, asks you how confident you are in each answer, and uses that information to generate feedback and a personalised learning track. It is operated as part of an undergraduate research study.

2. Your account

Accounts for study participants are created for you by an administrator. Self-registration is also available, and a new account must confirm its email address and accept these policies before it can be used; a self-registered account is not enrolled in any course until an administrator enrols it. You are responsible for keeping your password private and for everything done through your account. Do not share your login with anyone, and do not use anyone else's.

3. How you are expected to use the system

• Answer confidence ratings honestly. Every quiz question asks how sure you are. The system uses this to tell a confident mistake apart from a lucky guess, so an inaccurate rating produces feedback that does not match what you actually need.
• Each quiz allows three attempts. If you have not reached mastery after three, the system will ask you to review the material before continuing.
• Some quizzes stay locked until you master the topic before them. This is intentional, not a fault.
• Do your own work. The feedback is only useful if it reflects what you actually know.
• Do not attempt to access other students' records, other people's accounts, or any administrative function you have not been given.

4. Feedback is generated by AI

After you submit a quiz, your feedback is written by an AI language model, not by your teacher. It is generated from your answers and confidence ratings and is meant to help you study. It can occasionally be wrong or unclear. Your teacher can review, correct or withhold any of it, and your teacher's judgement takes priority over anything the system writes. If feedback does not make sense to you, ask your teacher.

5. Availability

The system runs on a single server and may be unavailable for maintenance. Feedback is generated in the background and usually appears within a minute of submitting a quiz, not instantly.

6. Your data

Your use of AccuLearn is recorded, and some of your data — your scores and the questions you answered incorrectly — is sent to an external AI service to write your feedback. Nothing that identifies you is sent: your name, username, email address, password and user ID never leave this server. What is collected, exactly what is sent outside the system, who can see it, how long it is kept and how to request a copy or its deletion are set out in the Privacy Notice, which forms part of these terms.

7. Changes and contact
