📚Web Simulation From Library

This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for interacting with an AI simulation using the web portal for AI simulations made available to you in your Simulation Library.

1. Log In

Log in at this link.

2. Go to the Simulation Library

In the top left corner find the "Library" tab

3. Select a Simulation

Click on a Play triangle to the left of one of the Simulations available to you.

4. Test Microphone

In the new page, on the right side of the screen there will be a window with an image of the character.

Make sure your microphone is connected by clicking the "Test Microphone" button at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will open up a window where you can make sure your microphone is picking up audio.

To start testing audio levels, click on the"Start Recording" button

While the test is happening, wath the "Audio Level" bar at the bottom of the window to see if the sound is being picked up. Once you see the bar moving, you can click the red "Stop Recording" button.

To play back what you just recorded to make sure the audio sounds fine, click on the "Play Test" button, then click on the "Stop Test" button to stop the playback.

You can adjust the volume of the microphone with the "Microphone Gain" slider, and raise the threshold of background noise volume that will be ignored with the "Silence Threshold" slider. If you make changes, make sure to click on the "Save Settings" button before closing.

Once you are done testing the microphone, click on the "Close" button in the bottom right corner of the microphone testing window

5. Play the Simulation

Before you play the simulation, choose if you will want to see the closed captioning overlaid on top of the AI agent using the toggle button that looks like a speech bubble to the left of the "Simple Mode" button

To start the simulation, click on the "Start Simulation" button.

If this simulation requires a document upload, such as uploading a resume for the AI Avatar to reference in a fake job interview, a window will pop up after clicking on "Start Simulation". When this window pops up, click on the "Upload Documents" button and use the File Explorer to upload a text-based document. After uploading a document you can edit the contents, and once you are done editing you can click the "Continue" button.

6. During the Simulation

You can expand the window with the AI agent using the full screen button in the top right corner of the AI agent window.

The simulation can be paused using the "Pause" button below the AI agent for a temporary break. To resume the conversation simply press the "Resume" button that replaces the "Pause" button.

If you don't want to see the AI agent and only care about the audio of the conversation, you can enable "Simple Mode". This might help if your browser is lagging.

7. Ending the Simulation

To end the simulation, click on the "Stop Simulation" button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

This will bring up a pop-up window asking if you'd like to upload the simulation data. Uploading your data will save a video recording and written transcript of your conversation to our servers, allowing a Class Admin to review it later.

If you click "Yes, Upload Data" a window will pop up giving you the progress of the upload of the audio and video recordings of your conversation.

Whether or not you upload data to our servers a window will appear with a video of your conversation that you can review. The transcript bubbles will highlight what is being said as the video plays.

If you wish to get feedback on your simulation based on analysis of the transcript using a rubric that the simulation Author created, in the top right corner of this pop-up window click on "Request AI Review"

This will generate a spreadsheet that displays the assessment criteria and how the AI rates your performance based on the transcript of the conversation, with Rationale given for its assessment in the "Rationale" column.

Once you are done reviewing the AI Assessment, you can click on the "Close" button in the bottom right corner of the pop-up window to take you back to the transcript and video. From here you can click the "Close" button again to exit this window. Now you can try the simulation again!
