Editor Nodes

Here are details on just some of kinds of nodes that can be inserted into a lesson, including PDFs and images among other options. The content of these nodes will be embedded into the lesson and understood by the TA.

PDF

Click the PDF option to upload a PDF. It will be embedded directly into the lesson. Note that there is a size limit on the total size of the entire lesson, so you cannot upload multiple 50MB PDFs into the same lesson, for instance. The size of all content in the lesson should roughly be under 50MB.

Images

Clicking the image button lets you insert an image into the lesson. A description of the image will be embedded into the knowledge base (it will be generated by an LLM).

Equations

Clicking the equation option allows you to use LaTeX to insert an equation into the lesson.
