An AI teaching assistant that listens to your lecture and generates discussion questions in real time University of Alberta CMPUT 401 Project - Winter 2026 Team: Nikita Ishanov, Muaadh Alhamdi, Kristian Perez, Shahbaz Qureshi, Tomiwa Orimoloye, Aldo Furlani, Siddhant Goel TA: Amir Salimi PromptED teaching tool is an AI-powered, real-time classroom engagement platform built for the University of Alberta's Department of Pharmacology. Instructors upload lecture slides, record live micro-lectures, and the platform automatically generates relevant discussion questions using a full RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline — pulling slide context and running it through GPT-4o. Students join sessions anonymously with a 6-digit PIN (no accounts needed) and respond to questions in real time from their phones. Instructors see live responses on a dashboard and retain full control to edit or reject AI-generated questions before publishing.
