How to Build a Data-Driven Resource in EnlightenAI

Turn assignment results into a targeted reteach in EnlightenAI, then refine it with the built-in chat assistant in the document workspace.

Written by Gautam Thapar

A data-driven resource turns your class's results into a ready-to-teach lesson. Instead of guessing what to reteach, EnlightenAI looks at where students actually struggled — by rubric criterion or by sentence-level error — drafts a targeted resource, and opens it in a workspace where you can refine it by chatting with an AI assistant.

At a glance: Open the graded assignment's Analytics → Data-driven resources → choose Rubric-based or Sentence-level reteach → refine the draft with the chat assistant → export or assign.


Step 1. Open Data-driven resources

On a graded assignment's Analytics page, your class trends show exactly where students struggled. Click Data-driven resources to turn that data into a targeted lesson — no blank page, no guessing what to reteach.

Step 2. Choose the kind of reteach

Pick how to target the gap. Rubric-based reteach builds a lesson around the rubric criterion the class scored lowest on (here, Reasoning). Sentence-level reteach targets the specific writing errors that showed up across submissions. EnlightenAI drafts a ready-to-use resource and opens it in the document workspace.

Step 3. Meet the resource workspace — document on the left, chat on the right

Your reteach opens in a two-panel workspace. On the left is the document EnlightenAI drafted from your class's results — a full mini-lesson you can read, click into, and edit directly. On the right is an AI chat assistant. The left side is the resource; the right side is where you shape it. Nothing is final — think of the draft as a starting point built from real data, not a finished handout.


Step 4. Refine the resource by chatting with the assistant

This is the part that saves you the most time. Instead of rewriting by hand, just tell the assistant what you want and it updates the document on the left. Try requests like:

  • "Make this a 20-minute mini-lesson."

  • "Add a quick warm-up and an exit ticket."

  • "Rewrite it for a 6th-grade reading level."

  • "Add three practice sentences for students to fix."

  • "Turn the examples into ones about our novel, The Outsiders."

Keep iterating until the resource is classroom-ready. You can also edit the document directly on the left at any time. When you're happy with it, use the Export menu to download it (Word or Google Docs) or copy it into an assignment for your students.
