Terms of use

What this is

Learn is an independent university teaching pilot, created and developed by Joakim Munkhammar, Associate Professor at Uppsala University, and intended for formative study support. It helps a student practise by answering questions about course material a teacher has chosen. It is not an examination system, not a grading system, and not a source of authoritative academic, assessment or administrative advice.

Students

Students use the service without an account and without identifying themselves. Answers, conversation transcripts and the tutor's internal picture of what a student knows are not intentionally persisted in this service's own database: they exist for the length of the session and are transmitted to an external AI service, and processed there transiently, to produce the next question and the feedback. Hosting, database and AI providers may process operational and request data under their own applicable terms and retention periods. A teacher cannot see a student's answers, results or learning profile; only anonymous counts of how often an activity is used are recorded.

Teachers

Teachers sign in with a named account and are responsible for the material they attach and for the activities they publish. Stored course material is private to the teacher account that created it; students are tutored from it but are not given the files, and the service administrator sees only the operational details needed to run and support the pilot, not an ordinary way of reading the stored course text.

This is an AI system

You are interacting with an artificial-intelligence system. Every question, assessment, explanation and piece of feedback is generated by an AI model rather than written or checked by a person beforehand, and may occasionally contain errors. The service is designed and tested to keep questions, judgements and explanations grounded in the teaching material and to minimise such errors, but correctness is not warranted. Course material provided by a teacher can also contain mistakes. Nothing the tutor says should be treated as a grade, a result, or a statement of what will be examined.

Responsibility

Teachers and institutions remain responsible for their courses, their teaching material and all assessment decisions. Students remain responsible for their own study choices. Please check anything important against your course material and your teacher.

Material you upload

Uploaded course material is processed to provide the tutoring, and is sent to an external AI service for that purpose. This service does not use your material to train any model of its own. What the external provider may do is governed by that provider's own terms, which we do not restate here as a guarantee. If you attach material, you confirm you are entitled to use it for this teaching purpose, that doing so does not infringe anyone's rights, and that it contains no student personal data or student work, no confidential information, no health, patient or research-participant data, and no other sensitive or special-category personal data.

You keep all rights in the material you upload. This service claims no ownership of it, and takes only the limited permission needed to process it in order to provide the tutoring described here. Where material is not your own — published books, articles, figures, slides or other third-party content — you are responsible for having the rights, permission, licence or applicable exception that covers uploading and using it this way. Nothing here is a statement that any particular use is lawful in your jurisdiction.

Deleting your material

A teacher can permanently delete their own activities and the text stored from their material, or delete a whole course together with every activity and material under it. A teacher can also delete their own account, which removes the sign-in together with every course, activity and stored material text, and any contact-form messages sent from that account's email address. Deletion through the teacher portal is permanent and cannot be undone.

Acceptable use

Do not use the service to harass anyone, to upload unlawful or harmful content, to attempt to gain access to other accounts or data, or to place automated or excessive load on it. The administrator may suspend or delete an account where that is reasonably necessary to keep the service secure, to prevent misuse, to meet a legal obligation, or to operate the pilot.

Availability and pilot status

This is a pilot, and it is free to use during the current university teaching pilot with no payment details required. Features, behaviour and stored data may change. The service may be unavailable, interrupted or discontinued at times. It is provided as it is, without a promise that it will be error-free or suited to any particular purpose. We cannot guarantee uninterrupted access, or that content will be preserved. Nothing here limits rights or liability that cannot legally be limited under applicable law.

Who it is for, and where

Learn is currently offered as an experimental university teaching pilot, and is intended for teachers and students in higher education. It is not directed to children. It is reachable from anywhere, but it is offered for higher-education teaching and is not tailored to the rules of every country. Institutions decide which local requirements apply before using it in teaching.

Independence

Learn is run independently of any university, department or learning-platform vendor, and does not act on their behalf.

Questions and feedback

Students and teachers are equally welcome to send questions or feedback through the contact & feedback page. What you send is stored so it can be read and answered manually; there is no automated email reply.
