How long does a Parlova mission take in class?

A Parlova mission takes between 20 and 45 minutes depending on its complexity. It can be done in class on computers or tablets, or as homework. The teacher follows progress in real time from the dashboard.

How do I create a learning mission on Parlova?

The teacher chooses a character, writes a final learning question (e.g. “Why did Caesar cross the Rubicon?”) and sets the key concepts students should discover. The mission is ready in under 5 minutes.

Do Parlova activities fit official curricula?

Yes. Missions can be built from the curriculum of your school system — French, English and others — for history, philosophy and mythology.

Can Parlova be used without an account?

Students join a mission with the link (or QR code) and the password provided by the teacher, plus a first name. They don't need to create an account. The teacher needs an account to create and follow missions.

Does Parlova work on tablets and smartphones?

Yes. Parlova works in any modern browser, on computer, tablet or smartphone. Nothing to install. Students can use it in a computer room, in class with tablets, or at home on their phone.

How do I share a mission with my students?

Parlova generates a link, a password and a QR code. Project the QR code in class or paste the link and password into your school's learning platform: students just enter their first name — no account required, no installation. They are in the mission in under 30 seconds.

Can I see what students wrote during the mission?

Yes. From the dashboard, the teacher can see each student's full conversation, the clues they found, the intermediate questions and the final written answer. This individual tracking lets you assess progress beyond a single mark.

Can I restrict the AI to my own teaching documents?

Yes. Add a PDF, a Word file or a textbook extract to a mission: the character relies on it to answer, and the student sees the exact passage quoted. Three levels — Open, Semi-restricted or Restricted — decide whether the AI keeps its general knowledge or sticks to your documents.

Example missions

From age 11 to 18 — missions aligned with official curricula. For the youngest students (ages 11–13), we recommend running them as a whole class, with the teacher leading the dialogue on the board; students use the AI themselves from age 13–14.

How does it work in class?

The teacher creates the mission (5 min)

They choose a character, write the final question and set the key concepts students should discover. The mission is ready in a few clicks. They can also add their own teaching documents and choose the AI's reliability level (Restricted, Semi-restricted or Open).

Students receive a link (30 sec)

The teacher shares a link (or QR code) and a password. Students join the mission without creating an account — on a computer, a tablet or a smartphone.

The conversation begins (20–45 min)

Each student talks directly with the character, explores the clues at their own pace and discovers the concepts for themselves. They can try answering the final question whenever they feel ready.

The teacher follows in real time

From the dashboard, the teacher sees each student's progress: concepts discovered, answer attempts, quality of reasoning. They can step in or start a class discussion.
