🎬 Parlova from three perspectives: what the interactive demos show

Before creating an account, here is what the three Parlova demos show — student view with Julius Caesar, teacher view with live mission creation, curious view with the French Revolution. Each feature explained.

Before creating an account, the natural question is: what does Parlova really look like, and is it what I'm looking for? The three demos below answer this question from three different angles — student, teacher, curious. Each demo is an animated simulation that reproduces a complete session, no registration required. Here is what each shows, why each element was designed this way, and what it reveals about how learning works on Parlova.

Three demos for three profiles

The demonstration page presents three tabs: 'Student view', 'Teacher view', and 'Curious view'. They do not show the same thing and are not aimed at the same people. The student view simulates a revision session on Julius Caesar — with progression mechanics, clues to discover, intermediate questions, and the final grade. The teacher view shows the creation of a class, the generation of a mission by AI, and the live dashboard while students work. The curious view shows free exploration: choosing a saga, selecting a character, switching from one witness to another, and writing the final interpretation.

Student view: Julius Caesar and the Roman civil war

The intermediate question — a key moment

Midway through the student demo, an 'Intermediate Question' appears: 'What did the Rubicon legally represent for a Roman general on campaign?' The student must answer before continuing. It is not a multiple-choice question — it is a reformulation to be written. This moment is one of the most important of the session: it forces the student to check that they have really understood what Caesar has just explained, not just that they have read the answer.

The demo ends with two phases visible in order: writing the final answer (the student writes their complete synthesis), then the grade with detailed feedback (8/10, strengths identified, additional historical explanation). It is this immediate and reasoned feedback that distinguishes Parlova from a simple chatbot: the answer is not just graded, it is analyzed. The student knows precisely what they have grasped well and what is missing from their analysis. Finally, the demo switches to the student profile with the badges obtained, completed missions, and suggested missions — giving an idea of long-term progression.

Teacher view: create, share, follow live

👩‍🏫Teacher view— Create a class · AI mission · Live tracking
What the generation produces (visible in demo)
4 historical figures: Louis XVI (King of France), Robespierre (Revolutionary), Marie Antoinette (Queen of France), Mirabeau (Deputy of the Third Estate)
8 clues to discover throughout the conversations
3 intermediate questions marking the students' progression
1 final synthesis question to be written
A unique sharing code: parlova.org/join/2NDB-REV-K9 — to paste in a VLE or dictate in class

The demo ends with the live dashboard — the view the teacher has while their students work. You see students connecting one by one, their progression in the clues, their accumulated XP, and the character each is currently conversing with. The activity stream on the right displays each action in real-time: 'Emma R. questions Louis XVI about taxes', 'Thomas M. earns +15 XP · The financial crisis', 'Camille B. answers an intermediate question'. This level of visibility allows the teacher to detect students who are stuck without moving between tables.

Curious view: freely explore the French Revolution

What the curious demo reveals about pedagogy

By changing characters in the middle of the session, the demo shows something important: the French Revolution is not a single narrative. Louis XVI thinks his people love him. Marianne says her children are hungry. These two responses to the same period are both true — and their confrontation produces an understanding that neither alone provides. It is the same logic historians use with their sources: cross-referencing contradictory testimonies to reconstruct what really happened.

The demo ends with writing the final interpretation and the grade with feedback — the same format as the student demo, but with a different tone. The feedback for the curious demo mentions 'the essential economic and social causes' and suggests delving deeper into 'the role of the Enlightenment and the rising bourgeoisie'. This feedback is not a school grade — it is an invitation to go further, to ask the next question.

What the demos do not show yet

The three demos show the central features of Parlova, but several important things are not visible. The 'By the program' tab — which allows navigation through the official curriculum of the French Ministry of Education by subject and level, from middle school to university — does not appear in the demos. Yet it is one of the most useful features for students preparing for a test on a specific chapter: finding the mission that exactly matches their course theme in seconds.

  • →Navigation by official curriculum (history from 6e to Terminale, geography, philosophy Terminale, psychology L1-L3) — accessible from play/history or play/psychology by clicking 'By the program'.
  • →The sagas — series of several paths linked by a narrative thread, with visible progression and episodes to unlock. The demo shows a saga in the exploration list, but not the progression experience within a saga.
  • →Philosophy and psychology missions — Socrates, Freud, Nietzsche, Wundt — which work differently from historical missions: the character tends to turn the questions back rather than answer them directly.
  • →Classes with individual tracking — the teacher demo shows the collective dashboard, but not the ability to see a particular student's complete conversation and leave them a comment.

These features are accessible from the first connection — they do not require a subscription. Creating an account takes less than a minute, and the first missions are available immediately. The demos are there so you know what to expect — not to convince you that a simplified version is the full version.
