What Echo is for

Create an Echo pack form with lesson focus and curriculum fields — Create — lesson focus, authority, year, Practice, Allow Oracle· click to enlarge

Echo is for short, lesson-tied revision — usually a handful of multiple-choice questions from what you taught today. Foundry is different: longer skill-pathway diagnostics across a subject. Use Echo for quick checks; use Foundry when you want a broader gap map.

You describe the lesson focus (and optional essential material), and the Suite generates a small MCQ pack. Students sit it privately or as a class task. When they miss a question, Echo can offer a short upskill read and one retry. Assign into a Module Workroom for the whole class, or let students keep practice private in Module Playground.

What Echo (and Socrates) draw on

Echo questions and Socrates lines are grounded in real teaching context — not a generic chat. When you draft a pack, the generator uses:

Your education authority syllabus (for example SCSA) when you pick a subject
The class and student year level you are creating in
What was learned today — your lesson notes
Essential material — the must-know facts, terms, or steps Echo should test (separate from broader lesson notes)
Any extra links or pasted document notes you provide
In Playground, resources the student adds for that week

Typical flow

Open your Module → Lab → Assign Echo pack (or use Student Lab / Playground for private practice).
Set lesson focus, essential material, links and notes, authority subject, year level, Practice or assessment, Allow Oracle, and an optional due date.
Publish to the Module Workroom for the class, or keep the pack private in Module Playground.
Students sit the MCQs. On a miss, they may see diagnostics, a short upskill paragraph, and one retry.
On a second miss, Echo underlines the answer span, offers one Socrates line, then asks a quick self-check — do you feel you have got it? Ready to move on? — without opening a long chat.

Socrates in Echo is deliberately brief: one guided line after a second miss, then the student moves on. Spark and Flux offer a fuller coaching conversation; Echo is meant to close a gap quickly and return to the pack.
