Plato helps you understand your module content by answering questions in context. It can be used to explain difficult topics, summarise what was covered in a lecture, or help you work through a specific idea in more detail.
Start with your query
Type your question directly into the chat. For example, you might ask:
Can you explain the FIFO page replacement algorithm?Can you help explain exercise 1 from the week 1 lab?Summarise the key argument from this week's lecture in simple terms.
You will usually get the best result when your question is specific. It often helps to include the topic you are working on, the lecture or reading if relevant, and the kind of help you want such as an explanation, summary or example.
Follow-up questions
If you want a different level of detail, you can continue the conversation with a follow-up question. For example, you can ask Plato to explain something more simply, give an example from the module, or turn part of the topic into a practice question.
What to expect
Plato gives immediate support within your module context and course materials. You can keep the conversation going with more specific prompts, example requests, or a different explanation style.
