Turn existing readings and materials into AI-evaluated group or solo discussion modules with your own prompts and learning objectives.
Students talk through a case or question in small groups while instructors receive ranked insights, transcripts and per-student metrics.
An oral assessment mode asks students to answer out loud, surfacing reasoning rather than recall and resisting easy AI shortcuts.
A ready-made library of cases, simulations and community-authored modules that instructors can mix, match and deploy quickly.
Make student thinking visible with AI-supported discussion and writing
An inquiry-based discussion platform with built-in AI coaching that helps students ask better questions and write stronger responses.
Pedagogy-first writing feedback that gives students formative input in real time and automates routine grammar and structure evaluation for instructors.
Newer assignment types like Teach the AI let students demonstrate understanding by explaining concepts to a curious AI learner.
An originality tool that reduces false positives and encourages students to revise before submission rather than punishing them after.
