How Lapmin works in a teacher-⁠led lesson

Teachers start a lesson and see which students need help. Students use Lapmin only during that lesson and do their own work. The aim is for students to be able to use Lapmin at home in the future, too.

Teacher tools

The “Needs you” list shows a safety flag, two raised hands and a student who may need help. Rows have “Open conversation” and “Acknowledge” buttons, or just “Acknowledge”. The demo class names are fictional.

In the phone view, a safety flag has “Open conversation” and “Acknowledge” buttons. Below it, a raised hand has an “Acknowledge” button. The names are fictional.

The lesson and the “Needs you” list

Teachers see raised hands and Lapmin’s flags in the “Needs you” list. They can open a conversation Lapmin has flagged, but cannot read the others. Students join with a code and use Lapmin only in the lesson their teacher has started.

Read about the lesson and the “Needs you” list

Two suggested websites await a decision in the teacher’s source review. Their domains, “Subject: Geography” and “Subject: History” rows, sample links, page titles, and “Approve” and “Reject” buttons are visible. The websites are examples.

Sources students can check, reviewed by teachers

When an answer includes a source, students see it below the answer and can check it. After Lapmin uses a site that is not yet on its source list, it suggests that site for teachers to review. A teacher’s decision applies to the entire domain. Students can compare the answer with its source and assess its accuracy – part of AI literacy.

In OpeAI, a teacher asks for a 45-minute grade 6 lesson on adding fractions and a short diagram of up to five lesson stages. The reply begins with a lesson title and goal. The first stage of a flowchart, Quick review, is visible below.

OpeAI for lesson planning

OpeAI is a teacher’s own AI chat. It helps with lesson planning, questions about using Lapmin and more. It can draft material and draw diagrams, for example. It cannot see students’ conversations or Notes.

The upload area invites teachers to drop a PDF or .docx file or choose one, with a button to add the file. Below it is a notice about usage rights and pupils’ personal data. The first material, “Maapallon liikkuva kuori,” is a ready Word file: 7A is selected, 8B is not.

The phone view of the Materials page begins with the line about adding your own PDF or Word file and choosing which classes to attach it to. Below are the upload area with its “Add a file” button and the notice about usage rights and pupils’ personal data. The first material, “Maapallon liikkuva kuori,” is a ready Word file: 7A is selected, 8B is not.

Teacher materials

Teachers can add their own PDF and Word files and choose which classes to attach them to. Lapmin uses the text as background when answering pupils in those classes. Beneath the answer, pupils see the material’s name and chapter when one is found.

Student work

A student asks for help planning an essay about the fall of the Roman Empire. Lapmin mentions several causes and the split of the empire’s lands into smaller states. Its reply has a numbered source, questions about the essay’s beginning, middle and end, and a question about which of them to answer first.

Factual answers and guidance through assignments

Lapmin answers factual questions directly. When students must solve a problem or write text they submit, it guides them without supplying a finished answer, even if they ask repeatedly. It does not write essays or other text students submit.

See how Lapmin answers

Lapmin asks the student what 4 + 3 + 1 equals. A grid shows 47 above 38, an entered 5 in the ones column, a carried 1 above the tens column and the highlighted tens column.

Lapmin confirms the 5 in the ones column and asks what 4 + 3 + 1 equals. The grid shows 47 above 38, the 5, a carried 1 and the highlighted tens column.

Step-by-step maths with a column grid

For addition, subtraction and multiplication, Lapmin can draw a column grid. It does not solve the problem for the student but asks them to work out the next step. It checks the steps it can recognise by calculating them.

The “Class school level” dialog offers “Primary school” and “Lower secondary”. “Lower secondary” is selected, with “Cancel” and “Save” buttons below.

Answers for grades 1–6 or 7–9

Teachers set each class to “Primary school” or “Lower secondary”. The choice affects the length, vocabulary and concreteness of Lapmin’s answers. In Swedish and English, it also changes the language level.

The teacher’s roster shows first names in two columns. Amina and Elli have an S2 mark beside their names. Each row shows a subject or the text “Needs you”. The demo class names are fictional.

The first five roster rows are visible. Amina and Elli, in the third and fifth rows, have an S2 mark. The names are fictional.

Finnish as a second language (S2)

In Finland, S2 is the Finnish-as-a-second-language syllabus. Teachers assess whether a student needs it, and a parent or guardian makes the choice. The teacher then marks the student in Lapmin, which adjusts how answers in Finnish are written.

A saved note shows the question, the answer’s key idea, a numbered source with a link and the student’s comment. An “Edit comment” button is visible.

The student’s “Notes” view shows one saved note with a question, key idea, numbered source and personal comment.

Students’ private Notes

Students can save an answer in Notes and add their own comment. Teachers cannot see these notes. They remain when the teacher ends the lesson and its conversations are deleted.

Find out how Notes work

Teacher accounts are by invitation from Lapmin. If you have an invitation, use Teacher sign-in. Teachers can also send feedback to Lapmin from their own view.
