Tier Breakdown
Mode Distribution: Actual vs. Target
Feedback
Your conversation was heavily Oracle-dependent. You asked broad questions and accepted answers without verification. Try breaking problems into smaller steps and asking the AI to explain its reasoning before accepting its output.
Strengths
- • Good use of follow-up questions
- • Provided context about your task
Growth Areas
- • Verify AI claims before accepting
- • Challenge assumptions in responses
- • Try setting the problem yourself first
This is a sample result showing heavy Oracle usage. Your results will reflect your actual conversation patterns.

About the Researcher
Mark Keith, PhD
Professor of Information Systems, Brigham Young University
The AI Engagement Modes framework grew out of years of research into how students interact with technology. Over the past two years, that work has focused specifically on AI, resulting in a model that classifies every AI interaction into one of 8 modes across 3 tiers of intellectual agency, from passive consumption to active critical thinking.
Dr. Keith has taught advanced machine learning, data analytics, and AI courses at five universities. He has authored 6 textbooks on analytics, Python, and machine learning, and is currently writing 3 AI-focused books designed to teach these methods to all types of college students. His research spans information privacy, AI in education, and predictive modeling.
This tool is backed by ongoing research with real student data, validated survey instruments, and a growing ML prediction pipeline. It is not a toy demo. It is an active research instrument designed to help students, instructors, and researchers understand AI engagement at a deeper level.
