Let's work through this problem together. What do you already know about the product rule in calculus?
Student
I think it's something like f times g prime plus g times f prime?
AI Tutor
Exactly right. Now let's apply that to f(x) = (x² + 3x)cos(x). What would u and v be here?

3Integrated modules: Course Authorship, AI Tutor, and AI Teaching Assistant
∞Faculty remain in control — AI drafts, faculty always decides
What we're building
Three interconnected tools. One integrated platform.
Each module solves a distinct pain point faculty face—and together they form a cohesive system that lives inside your LMS.
📐
Course Authorship
Upload reference materials and let AI propose a full course blueprint—syllabi, lessons, quizzes, slide decks. Faculty review and approve everything. Syncs directly to Brightspace.
🎙️
AI Tutor
Voice-based, multimodal tutoring embedded in the LMS. Grounded in each faculty member's course content, terminology, and pedagogy. Students access it with one click.
📊
AI Teaching Assistant
Automated grading against faculty-defined rubrics, early-alert identification of struggling students, communication drafting, and course analytics—all synced back to the LMS.
Challenges we've heard
Faculty time is finite. We're here to protect it.
We've spoken with faculty across the country and heard these pain points repeatedly.
01 Time-consuming LMS course setup and maintenance, especially at semester start
02 Rebuilding courses from scratch when adapting formats (16-week → 8-week or 5-week)
03 No starting point when creating entirely new courses without existing materials
04 Grading volume that limits time for individual student attention
05 Assessment integrity in the age of AI—especially for online and hybrid courses
06 Students using AI as a crutch rather than a genuine learning tool
07 Difficulty making online and asynchronous courses engaging and interactive
08 Outdated course materials when requirements and standards change yearly
09 Burden of drafting student communications—announcements, instructions, feedback
10 Limited time for professional development and curriculum innovation
We're building the solution with faculty, not for them.
Didactica is a design-partnership model. Faculty shape the product through ongoing collaboration. No cost, no commitment—just real input that drives what we build.

The Platform
Designed around how faculty actually work.
Three integrated modules that tackle course design, student support, and administrative burden—all inside your LMS, all with faculty in the driver's seat.
Module 01 — Course Authorship
AI-Assisted Course Design
Course creation is one of the most time-intensive tasks in teaching. Didactica accelerates it dramatically without removing faculty judgment. Upload your materials, get a full draft, then shape every element before anything goes live.
Upload textbooks, syllabi, or reference materials—AI proposes a complete course blueprint
Generates lesson plans, slide decks, quizzes, and assignments as a starting point
Ingest an existing Brightspace course and adapt it to a new format (e.g., 16-week → 8-week)
Faculty review and approve everything—AI drafts, faculty decides
Copyright-aware: references textbook content by citation rather than copying
Syncs directly and cleanly to Brightspace

Module 02 — AI Tutor
Personalized, Voice-Based, Course-Aligned
The AI Tutor isn't a generic chatbot—it's grounded in each faculty member's course content, vocabulary, and pedagogy. Students access it directly through Brightspace with a single click, no separate logins or apps required.
Voice-based interaction—students speak naturally, the tutor responds in kind
Aligned to your specific course materials, not generic subject knowledge
Vocabulary and concept practice tailored to where a student is in the syllabus
Verifies student comprehension of assigned readings before class
Supports certification exam preparation at varying skill levels
Guides students through complex assignments step-by-step without giving answers away
TUTOR SESSION
Didactica Tutor
Let's talk about what you read for today. The passage described three key functions of a learning organization. Can you recall the first one?
Student
I think it was something about sharing information across departments?
Didactica Tutor
Close—you're thinking of "knowledge transfer." The text called it "systematic information sharing." What do you think the difference is?
Student
Maybe systematic means it's structured, not just informal?
Didactica Tutor
Exactly. That's the key distinction. Now, what was the second function?
Module 03 — AI Teaching Assistant
More Time for What Matters
The AI Teaching Assistant handles the administrative weight of teaching—grading, early alerts, and communication drafting—so faculty can spend more time on the work that only they can do: mentoring, discussion, and deepening student relationships.
Automated grading using faculty-defined rubrics—AI grades, faculty approves
Faculty spot-check or review all grades before they're posted
Grading rationale synced to LMS—transparent, auditable, and explainable to students
Early identification of students who are falling behind, before it's too late
Communication drafting: announcements, directions, and individual feedback
Course performance analytics at the section level

Built for your institution
Security, accessibility, and compliance—by design.
Didactica is built to meet the standards community colleges and their students require.
🔐
Information Security
Building toward SOC 2 compliance. Will complete HECVAT for institutional review. Student data resides in the LMS; Didactica minimizes data retention.
♿
Accessibility (ADA)
Committed to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. Designed from the ground up for screen readers, keyboard navigation, and varied learning needs—not retrofitted after launch.
AI follows fair use guidelines and will not reproduce copyrighted content beyond what is legally permissible. References textbook content by citation number, not by copying text.
🛡️
Data Privacy (FERPA)
Full FERPA compliance. The LMS remains the system of record for all student data. Clear data governance and retention policies in place before any student-facing deployment.
The Team
