Describe a grading rule in your own words and turn it into an iDoceo formula.
Use the same Gemini connection to plan a lesson, create an illustration, build a rubric or add questions to an iDoceo Connect assessment.
Connect Google Gemini
Use iDoceo 9.6.0 or later in Advanced mode. If you’re using Classic mode, open Menu → Settings → Advanced mode to switch.
- Open Cloud linksIn iDoceo, go to Menu → Settings → Cloud links and turn on Google Gemini.
- Get your keyTap Get an API key. Sign in to Google AI Studio and create or copy a Gemini API key. Open the Google AI Studio API keys page.
- Enable GeminiReturn to iDoceo, paste the key into Gemini API Key and tap Enable.
Once iDoceo validates the key, you can try a formula or use the assistants already included for the Planner, images, rubrics and assessments.
Create or edit a gradebook formula
Open a class and choose Add column → Calculation → Formula with AI. Describe the result you want. Type @ to select each column you want the formula to use.
Calculate the final grade out of 10. Use Exam for 60% and Project for 40%.
Tap Generate formula and choose Gemini if iDoceo asks which service to use. Review the preview, then tap Use formula. Test it in the formula editor before relying on the grades.
Spell out how to handle special cases, such as a missing project grade, and check those cases too. To revise a formula you already have, open it in the formula editor and tap the Formula with AI button. Describe what should change.
The formula editor has its own built-in assistant and uses the same Gemini connection.
Prepare a lesson in the Planner
Open a lesson in the Planner and use the editor’s AI text button. Choose Gemini if prompted. Describe the topic, age group and time available. For example, ask for a 15-minute introduction to equivalent fractions for 11-year-olds, with one worked example and two practice questions.
Review the draft and choose Add to keep the existing lesson text or Replace to use the draft in its place.
Create an illustration
Use the Planner editor’s AI image button and describe the illustration you want. For the same lesson, you could ask for two simple fraction bars showing one half and two quarters side by side. Check the labels and proportions before adding the image to the lesson.
Build a rubric from a task
In the Rubrics list, tap + and choose Gemini created Rubric. Describe what students will do and what you want to assess. For a short oral presentation, you might ask for four performance levels covering organisation, use of evidence and clarity of delivery.
Review the criteria and descriptors in the generated rubric, then adjust them to match what students were asked to do.
Add questions to an iDoceo Connect assessment
Open an assessment in iDoceo and choose the Gemini option under Add questions. Try the included multiple-choice assistant and describe the topic and level. You could ask for five questions on equivalent fractions for the end of the lesson. To generate true/false questions, add an assistant from the true/false preset in the iDoceo Connect section of Assistants.
Check the wording, answer choices and correct answers before sharing the assessment. To get started with assessments, see the iDoceo Connect quick start guide.
Customise an assistant
Use the included assistants for your first requests. When you find yourself repeating the same instructions, go to Settings → Cloud links → Google Gemini → Assistants. Choose Planner, Rubrics, iDoceo Connect or Image, then tap an assistant to edit it or tap + to create one from a preset.
Use Context to save instructions you want to reuse. When you use that assistant, you can give it just the topic for that lesson.
Use British English. Write for 11-year-olds. Include one worked example and two practice questions. Keep the activity to 15 minutes.
Rubric and assessment assistants provide a separate editable Context field for details such as your subject, marking criteria or class level. Try a Test question in the assistant editor before using the assistant in a lesson or assessment.
