Admin Sessions Admin Only

The Sessions page is the audit trail for every conversation. Use it to review student interactions, troubleshoot pipeline issues, copy transcripts to share with faculty, and inspect generated images.

Layout

The page is split into a left list and a right detail pane:

Left: sessions list with quick filters (date range, user, mode, status).
Right: detail pane that scrolls independently — conversation accordion, model calls, tool calls, generated images, summary.

Faculty, Student and Consumer

Every session in the list, and the header of the session you have open, shows a pill saying which experience it ran in: Faculty, Student or Consumer. It is the user's type when the session started, so you don't need to look the user up on the Users page. A session started by a support user shows Faculty, the experience they get.

Unknown Sessions from before May 1, 2026 show Unknown. The mode was not recorded then, and the page shows Unknown rather than guess.

Patient interviews (RP)

A violet RP pill, beside the mode in the list and in the header, means the session includes a standardized-patient role-play: the student asked the tutor to play a patient and interviewed her as the doctor. In the conversation, an RP marker shows where each role-play started (with the patient's reason for the visit), where the student came back to it after losing their browser, and where it ended and why: the student asked to stop, closed the encounter, or clicked End Session. The tutor's replies between the start and the end are the patient speaking.

Conversation Accordion

Each request/response pair is one accordion entry. Expand to see:

The full user message and Dr. Olivia's reply.
Inline thumbnails of any images generated for that turn (click to enlarge).
A Copy button that puts a markdown-formatted version of the entire conversation onto your clipboard — ideal for pasting into a ticket, email, or faculty review.

Quiz Activity

Every time the quiz opens, a quiz note appears in the conversation at the moment it happened. That includes a student pressing the Quiz button, which leaves no message behind. Each note shows:

How it started — Quiz button or Offered by the tutor.
What it covered and how far the student got — topics, questions answered, and the score once every question is answered.
How long the student waited — how long planning took, and how long until the first question appeared.
How it ended — a separate Quiz closed note at the time the student closed it, saying whether it was closed from the results, mid-quiz, or while still loading. A note that says no close recorded means the student never closed it: the session ended with the quiz still open.

Notes for quizzes that were closed while still loading are marked in orange, and quizzes that failed to generate in red. Click View questions on a note to open the quiz in a side panel. It shows every question as written: the stem, each answer choice and why it is right or wrong, the correct answer, the explanation and teaching point, the classification, and which answer the student picked and when.

Older quizzes Quizzes from before opening and closing were recorded still appear, marked Quiz generated, with their questions and answers. They have no wait times or close time.

System Prompts System Admin

A System Admin can see exactly what Dr. Olivia was given before she wrote a reply. Right-click one of her responses in the conversation and choose View system prompts. A window opens with every system prompt sent with that request, in the order it was sent. Each prompt has its own section: click a section to open or close it, or use Expand all and Collapse all. Each section is named after the part of the prompt it holds, for example Master system prompt, Memory index, Course materials or Tool usage guidance, and shows its size.

Switch on Full request to see everything that was sent, not just the system prompts. This adds the earlier conversation and the student's question, in order. The page remembers the switch until you close the browser tab, so you don't have to turn it on for every response.

Large screens only The option appears only in a browser window larger than 1366×900. On a smaller window, a tablet or a phone, right-clicking shows the browser's normal menu. If you have text selected, you also get the normal menu, so you can still copy.

Older responses Prompts recorded before October 12, 2026 don't name their parts. For those responses the window shows every message in the order it was sent, without names, and says so. A response with no recorded prompt shows a short note instead.

System Admin is a step above Admin. It is granted to individual admins, because these prompts include the student's profile, memory and uploaded documents. Each time a prompt is opened, the view is recorded in the admin audit log.

Tool / Model Logs

Below the conversation, every tool invocation (Canvas, PubMed, Materials, Image Generation, …) is listed with timing, status, and the raw arguments. This is the first place to look when a session went sideways — you'll see exactly which tool failed and what it was passed.

Filtering

Date range — today, last 7 days, custom.
User — search by Canvas DimId or email.
Mode — Avatar (video / audio) vs. Text Chatbot.
Status — Open, Closed, Errored.
Has Images — quick filter to find sessions where the image generator ran.

Continued Sessions

When a student re-opens a closed session (via "Continue" on the Selection page), it does not create a new row — the session continues. The accordion will show all turns from both halves of the conversation, including the gap when it was closed.

Long sessions The right detail pane is independently scrollable so even very long conversations stay usable — the accordion never gets clipped by a max-height.

Act-As Sessions

Sessions started while an admin was impersonating a student appear with the impersonated student's identity, but a small badge marks the session as Act-As and links back to the real admin. The post-session email for these sessions is redirected to the real admin's address (see Act-As guide).
