Learning Workspace

The RoxWhy learning workspace is powered by DeepTutor. It combines tutoring, source-grounded study, writing support, visual explanations, notebooks, memory, and mastery paths in one place.

Core workspace areasCopy Anchor Link

ChatCopy Anchor Link

Use Chat for normal tutoring: explanations, examples, follow-up questions, and source-grounded answers from your knowledge bases.

Good for:

• "Explain this in plain English."
• "Give me an example and then ask me to try one."
• "Use my uploaded notes to answer this."

SolveCopy Anchor Link

Use Solve when a question is hard enough to need planning, step-by-step reasoning, checking, or a more careful answer.

Good for:

• Multi-step maths or science problems.
• Reasoning through a programming issue.
• Breaking down an assignment question.
• Checking a solution path before moving on.

QuizCopy Anchor Link

Use Quiz to generate practice questions from a topic or knowledge base. Questions are kept in the Question Bank so you can revisit them.

Good for:

• Quick recall checks.
• Exam revision.
• Finding weak spots.
• Turning notes into active practice.

Mastery PathCopy Anchor Link

Use Mastery Path when a topic needs a structured path. It turns a notebook or book into an outline of modules, then works through each one with explanation, practice quizzes, and review. You move on from a module once you have shown you understand it.

Good for:

• A topic you keep getting stuck on.
• Preparing for a quiz or short exam.
• Seeing how ideas build on each other before testing yourself.
• Reviewing weak spots after a missed question.

See Mastery Path and Task Board.

ResearchCopy Anchor Link

Use Research when you need a structured research path or a report-style answer built from your knowledge bases. Keep it focused and check sources before relying on the result.

Good for:

• Comparing ideas.
• Building a reading plan.
• Summarising source material.
• Preparing research notes.

VisualizeCopy Anchor Link

Use Visualize when a diagram, chart, concept map, or visual explanation would make the topic easier to understand.

Good for:

• Processes and cycles.
• Timelines.
• Cause-and-effect relationships.
• Concept maps.
• Simple charts and diagrams.

Co-WriterCopy Anchor Link

Use Co-Writer to turn rough material into writing you can review and revise.

Good for:

• Outlines.
• Drafts.
• Study guides.
• Summaries.
• Rewriting unclear notes.

BooksCopy Anchor Link

Use Books when a topic needs a structured learning path. A book organises a topic into chapters, examples, review prompts, quizzes, and notes.

Good for:

• A new subject area.
• Exam preparation.
• A reading list.
• Building a reusable study guide.

ReadingCopy Anchor Link

Use Reading to open a document beside the tutor and ask about it as you go. Answers are cited from the page, and you can save notes as you read.

Knowledge basesCopy Anchor Link

Knowledge bases hold the source material RoxWhy should use. Create separate knowledge bases for different subjects, exams, projects, or reading lists.

Use knowledge bases for:

• PDFs.
• Notes.
• Worksheets.
• Slides.
• Markdown or text files.
• Drafts and research notes.

Keep names clear, for example:

• Year 9 Biology - Term 2
• English Essay - Macbeth
• Algebra Revision
• Programming Project

See Knowledge Bases and Uploads.

Notebooks and Question BankCopy Anchor Link

Use notebooks to keep important records from chat, Co-Writer, Books, or research sessions.

Use the Question Bank to revisit generated quiz questions, mistakes, and practice prompts.

Save:

• Summaries you want to revise.
• Questions you missed.
• Drafts or outlines you want to improve.
• Follow-up questions for class.
• Useful source-grounded explanations.

MemoryCopy Anchor Link

Memory helps RoxWhy keep track of study context across sessions. It can include a summary of topics studied, goals, preferences, and useful context. The tutor uses memory to avoid starting from zero each time.

Memory is there to support continuity. Students should still check facts, calculations, and assignment-specific requirements.

CreditsCopy Anchor Link

Credit usage depends on the mode, model, prompt length, source retrieval, and amount of work requested. Longer conversations, large documents, deep reasoning, research, writing, and visual workflows can use more credits.

See Credits and Top-Ups for the billing and support details.

Recommended first workflowCopy Anchor Link

1. Create one knowledge base for the current subject.
2. Upload class notes or a short reading.
3. Ask Chat for a plain-language explanation.
4. Ask Visualize for a concept map, then ask Quiz for practice questions.
5. Save mistakes or useful explanations to a notebook.
6. Start a mastery path if this is a topic you will keep working on.
7. Check your credit use after a longer session.
