Create a Topic Hub with AI

What does this do?

AI writes a full draft Topic Hub for you: an introduction, key points, key terms, exam tips, a common misconception, a mind map, flashcards, a retrieval grid, exam-style questions with mark schemes and model answers, and a "Can you now…?" checklist. It opens in the editor as a draft — nothing reaches a class until you pin it.

When should I use it?

Use it when you want a revision page quickly and would rather edit than write from nothing. There are four ways in: from a topic, from source material you add, from curriculum outcomes you choose, or from lessons you have already taught, so the page revises what the class actually learned.

Common mistakes

• Pinning without reading it — the AI is a first draft, so check the facts and the mark schemes
• Looking for videos or links in the draft — the AI never adds them, because it cannot know a real web address. Add your own
• Expecting it to appear on the class space straight away — an AI hub is never pinned until you pin it
