Build AI learning experiences with Cogniti Assist
UNE educators can now transform teaching ideas into functional AI learning tools without any technical expertise. The new Cogniti Assist tool guides you through creating custom AI agents for student learning - no coding or AI experience required.
From teaching challenge to AI solution
Whether you have a specific vision or just know your students need help with a particular skill, Cogniti Assist adapts to your starting point. The assistant works through structured conversations that turn your pedagogical expertise into ready-to-deploy AI agents.
"If you've already got an idea, it can help you refine it," explains Shannon Tyrrell, AI Innovation Lead at LabNext70. "If you're unsure about how AI could support specific learning objectives or outcomes, the AI can offer suggestions based on your goals and challenges within your specific unit."
Two pathways to success
When you know what you want
Start with a clear concept - perhaps an AI to help students practice client communication. The assistant asks targeted questions about your unit, student level, specific skills, and common challenges. Based on your responses, it generates tailored options like a "client communication scenario coach," a "communication skills clarifier," or a "reflective practice partner."
When you just know the need
Alternatively, describe a learning gap - "students need practice with ethical decision-making in healthcare." The assistant explores focus areas, then presents multiple agent concepts you can develop further.
See it before you build it
Before committing to any design, preview exactly how students will interact with your AI agent. Request sample dialogues to ensure the learning experience matches your vision. This preview helps align the tool with your teaching goals.
Complete implementation support
Once satisfied, Cogniti Assist generates everything you need:
A complete, copy-pasteable prompt ready for Cogniti
UNE's academic integrity guardrails built in
Resource recommendations (professional codes, frameworks)
Step-by-step deployment instructions for MyLearn integration
The generated prompts aren't generic templates. Each includes institutional safeguards that prevent inappropriate assignment assistance while supporting genuine learning – specifically designed for UNE's teaching context.
