My Tutor Access to Learning Catalog Knowledge
My Tutor can now use knowledge extracted from self-paced learning content to answer learner questions. Depending on the configuration, the agent can use indexed learning knowledge, LLM knowledge, or both. This helps keep tutoring responses grounded in the organization's own learning material while still allowing broader support. Responses include citations and source links so learners can see where My Tutor got the information from.
Tutor Response Including Citation and Sources
Improve AI tutoring governance by controlling whether My Tutor uses indexed learning content, LLM knowledge, or both. Give learners more relevant guidance from approved learning content while giving learning specialists better control over the knowledge sources used in responses.
Steps to enable and configure
How to configure Tutor sources:
-
Go to Tools > AI Agent Studio.
- In the Learning Content Retriever and Generator workflow agent, set these variable values for the Configuration Details node.
| Tutor Response Sources | fillGapsUsingLLMKnowledge variable value | learnKnowledgePriority variable value |
|---|---|---|
| Learning knowledge first, use LLM to fill gaps when learning data is not sufficient (default). | true | 1 |
| Only self-paced learning content Only LLM knowledge | false | 1 |
| Only LLM knowledge | true | 0 |

Tips and considerations
- By default, My Tutor uses self-paced learning knowledge when it's available and uses LLM knowledge as a secondary source.
- Self-paced learning content is available for My Tutor's use only if the learning allows knowledge extraction for this purpose. You allow this from the self-paced learning configuration or by using the learningSelfPacedItems REST API to set learningItemNeedsKnowledgeIndexing to Y. For more details, see Self-paced learning content knowledge indexing.
- My Tutor uses the most recent indexed version of self-paced learning content by default, helping to avoid stale content. My Tutor doesn't use content from deactivated or deleted learning.
- My Tutor can use indexed knowledge from multiple self-paced content types, including SCORM, AICC, CMI5, PDF, PPT, and MP4 video content.
- Citations are more than generic sources mentions: learners can open cited learning sources in a new browser window.
- The agent name changed from Learning Tutor to My Tutor.
