Diagnostic simulator
Practice diagnostic interviews with an AI-played pupil and get a structured evaluation at the end.
The Diagnostic Interview Simulator lets you practice one of the hardest conversations in a teacher's job: a one-on-one interview with a pupil whose behavior or performance has changed. The AI plays the role of a child with a selected profile (a specific difficulty or life situation), and you lead the conversation. When you end it, you receive a structured evaluation of how the interview went — what you uncovered, what you missed, and how to ask better questions next time.
Unlike Training, which scores individual communication techniques turn by turn across many scenario types, the simulator is one continuous interview with a single pupil, evaluated as a whole at the end. The focus is diagnostic: recognizing what might be behind the child's behavior.
Where to find it
Open the user menu in the top-right corner (your name) and choose
Diagnostic simulator. The simulator is available to every signed-in user at
/simulator.
Each simulation costs 1 credit. Credits come from seminar groups you have joined or from grants by the Edustories team — see Credits.
How a simulation works
Set it up
Pick a student profile (or let the AI choose a random one), the pupil's grade, and the simulation language. See Starting a simulation.
Lead the interview
The pupil writes first. You conduct the conversation in a chat, at your own pace. See During a simulation.
End it and read the evaluation
Press End conversation when you are done. The AI generates an Interview evaluation with concrete feedback, and the full transcript stays available. See Results and history.
Seminar groups
The simulator is also built for university seminars and workshops. An organizer (typically a lecturer) creates a seminar group, shares a join link or QR code, and every student who joins receives credits to run simulations. The organizer then sees each student's transcript and evaluation.
- Students: see Joining a group — including running the simulator without an account directly from an invite link.
- Organizers: see Seminar groups.
