Your LMS is built for delivery.
Not for design.

Your curriculum team spends weeks building courses manually inside your LMS — copying objectives into spreadsheets, pasting quiz questions one at a time, hoping the syllabus matches the actual course structure. There's no design layer. No alignment verification. No structured workflow. is that missing layer.

🎯

Objectives-First Design

Start with learning targets, not lesson plans. Every course begins with standards-aligned objectives at specified cognitive demand levels — the foundation of backwards design.

📐

Structured Units

Units carry enduring understandings and essential questions. Lessons, assessments, assignments, and materials all live in a coherent structure — not scattered across disconnected Canvas modules.

✏️

Rich Lesson Authoring

Full content editor with linked objectives, activities, materials, and sibling assessments. Every lesson connects to what students should know, what they'll do, and how they'll be measured.

🤖

AI Assessment Generation

Generate criterion-referenced questions tied to specific objectives, cognitive demand levels, and source materials. Seven question types. Grade-appropriate. Editable and regenerable.

📋

Auto-Composed Syllabus

Syllabus sections generate automatically from your course data — objectives, grade breakdown, overview. Add instructor sections with drag-to-reorder. Push directly to Canvas.

🗺️

Course Map & Audit Trail

Print-ready alignment view showing every lesson, objective, standard, activity, and assessment in one place. Verify that your course teaches what it claims to teach.

From objectives to your LMS
in four steps

enforces the instructional design process that great courses require — then delivers the result directly to your LMS.

1

Define Targets

Set course objectives with DOK levels. Align to CCSS, NGSS, TEKS, or custom standards.

2

Structure Content

Build units with lessons, activities, and materials. Assign objectives to scope each unit.

3

Generate Assessments

AI creates questions from your objectives and materials. Review, refine, and approve.

4

Deliver to Your LMS

Push to Canvas as native content, or export a Common Cartridge package for Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, or Schoology.

Assessments that are pedagogically intentional

This isn't "generate questions from a PDF." Every question is tied to a specific objective at a specific cognitive demand level, grounded in actual course materials, and appropriate for the grade level and classification.

  • Seven question types: MC, True/False, Multiple Answer, Matching, Ordering, Categorization, Essay
  • DOK-leveled generation — a DOK 1 question tests recall, a DOK 3 requires analysis
  • Source-grounded in your course materials, not generic AI knowledge
  • Inline editing and targeted regeneration: "harder," "fix distractors," or custom feedback
  • Exports as Canvas New Quizzes with full question content — not placeholders
Generated Assessment
Multiple ChoiceDOK 34 pts

Build once. Deliver anywhere.

Canvas users get the deepest integration — real Canvas objects created via API as if your team built them by hand. Everyone else gets a full Common Cartridge (.imscc) export that imports natively into Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Schoology.

We built an entire AP English course in three days and delivered it to our LMS with full quizzes, outcomes, and a syllabus. It would have taken our team three weeks doing it manually.
