Example journey: AI prohibited

The same three-step sequence, sealed for a course that prohibits AI. Load it into Studio to see the student flow, or download the sealed file to post to your own course.

It is a sealed KNOBE, so it verifies like any other: check it with Lens.

Below is the file's readable description, exactly as it appears inside the sealed file. The file also carries a machine-readable payload and a hash that Studio reads; those are not shown here.
