Edapt

It asks.
You think.

You are stuck on an essay.
It will not write it for you.
It asks you a question. Then another.
Until the thinking is yours.

A Socratic tutor for Years 7 to 13. It follows the New Zealand Curriculum for Years 7 to 10, and Edapt's own study programme for Years 11 to 13. It answers a question with a better question, so the student does the thinking. The student stays the author.

An example exchange, written to show the method
Student, Year 9

Why does ice float on water?

Edapt

Start with what you know. What happens to the space between water molecules when water freezes?

Student

They spread out, so the same mass takes more room. Less dense.

Edapt

Right. If ice is less dense than water, does it sink or float?

Designed to refuse writing your work.

Two checks run on each exchange. Both look for work a student could hand in as their own: an essay, an introduction, or an opening line. When they find it, the tutor asks a question instead.
