Clear in the Classroom
A practical guide to using Clear as an educational support tool that complements instruction without replacing it.
Clear is an AI-powered tool that helps students understand complex material by translating it into clear, adaptable explanations. It supports comprehension and independent learning—not as a replacement for teaching, but as a complement to it.
How Clear Supports Instruction
Clear is designed to work alongside educators, not around them. Here's how it fits into existing teaching workflows.
Reinforces Your Teaching
When students need a concept explained differently, Clear provides alternative framings that reinforce—rather than contradict—what you've taught.
Reduces Repetitive Clarification
Students can get additional explanations on their own time, freeing you to focus on deeper instruction and individual support.
Builds Student Confidence
Students can revisit explanations without embarrassment, building the confidence they need to engage more actively in class.
Encourages Independent Learning
Clear helps students develop self-directed learning habits, preparing them for academic success beyond your classroom.
Classroom Use Cases
Clear adapts to different educational contexts and student needs.
- Homework support that guides understanding without giving answers
- Alternative explanations that reinforce classroom instruction
- Support for students with learning differences or language processing needs
- Breaking down academic papers, lectures, and dense textbooks
- Supporting first-generation and returning students
- Encouraging independent study between classes and office hours
- Reducing cognitive overload with simplified explanations
- Self-paced comprehension without time pressure
- Repeated or reframed explanations for students who need them
Aligned with Universal Design for Learning
Clear's approach aligns with UDL principles, supporting multiple means of representation and engagement.
Multiple Representations
Concepts explained through different styles—step-by-step, story-based, visual, or plain language
Flexible Engagement
Students choose how they want to learn, building agency and self-regulation
Reduced Barriers
Accessible language and repetition without stigma removes obstacles to understanding
