Meet your AI Faculty
Dialogic · SAMWISE · BEATRICE
Included in AI Faculty courses. Available as upgrades elsewhere.
Dialogic
AI Lectures
Structured lecture delivery. In the AI Faculty tier, sessions are interruptible—students steer depth and pace without breaking the arc.
SAMWISE
AI Tutor
Answers questions, guides projects, and stays with each learner. Scoped per course; SAMWISE+ extends capacity institution-wide.
BEATRICE
AI Teaching Assistant
Grades assignments, delivers feedback, and tracks progress so faculty spend time on judgment—not volume.
Hands-on by default
Real Labs. Zero Setup.
GitHub repos per course, Codespaces environments, and assignments that run in the browser—on any device your students already use.
Repo-per-course
Versioned materials, reproducible builds, and a clean handoff to your IT org.
Codespaces
Pre-configured dev environments—no local installs, no lab scheduling bottlenecks.
Works everywhere
Chromebook to workstation: the lab experience stays consistent.
Measurable learning
Built for xAPI and Verifiable Credentials
Track every learning interaction, map competencies, and prepare for credential issuance—without bolting on another siloed “analytics suite.”
Extend when you need to
