What problem does it solve?

Learners can become dependent on hints and scaffolds instead of building independence you can reliably transfer to new tasks and contexts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session-to-session fading control: tracks scaffold level across sessions and reduces support when readiness criteria are met.
  • Transparent, learner-facing transitions: explicitly tells the learner their current scaffold level, what changes next, and why.
  • Restoration when a fade is too steep: temporarily restores one level if unassisted performance drops or confusion spikes after scaffold removal.
  • Independence verification: periodically runs unassisted evidence checkpoints to confirm independence before further fading.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to manage fading for the learner on the topic "fractions" using the provided session_history and independence_target so it can reduce scaffolding while keeping the learner informed.
