Platform Features - PortACourse

💬

Prompt-Based Creation

Educators describe learning objectives, assessment criteria, and content structure using plain language. The platform interprets these prompts and generates complete SCORM modules with appropriate scaffolding, assessment items, and student interactions.

The prompt-based approach eliminates the need for XML editing, coding, or technical configuration. Educators focus on instructional design decisions while the platform handles technical implementation.

🔗

LMS Integration

Direct integration with Canvas, BrightSpace, Moodle, Blackboard, and other SCORM-compliant learning management systems. Modules export as standard SCORM packages (versions 1.2 and 2004) compatible with any LMS.

The platform handles SCORM manifest generation, asset packaging, and tracking configuration. Educators upload the exported package directly to their LMS without modification.

✅

Automated Grading

Assessment items within modules automatically grade student submissions and synchronize results with LMS gradebooks. Supports multiple question types including multiple choice, short answer, and interactive simulations.

Automated grading reduces time spent on routine assessment while providing immediate feedback to students. Educators review results and focus on higher-order feedback.

📦

SCORM Compliance

All generated modules comply with SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 standards, ensuring compatibility and tracking of student progress, scores, and completion status across LMS platforms.

The platform implements SCORM runtime API calls, data model requirements, and sequencing specifications. Modules track interactions, time spent, and learner responses according to SCORM standards.

🎯

Pedagogical Design

Module structures align with established instructional design principles including learning objectives, scaffolded instruction, formative assessment, and feedback mechanisms appropriate for K-12 and higher education contexts.

The platform guides educators through instructional design decisions including objective alignment, content sequencing, and assessment validity. Generated modules reflect sound pedagogical practices.

🧩

Rich Interactive Widgets

Go beyond simple text with a library of H5P-compatible interactive widgets. The AI automatically generates Interactive Videos, Timelines, Drag & Drop exercises, and Image Hotspots.

These active learning components increase student engagement and retention by requiring direct interaction with the material, not just passive reading.

📂

Flexible Content Sourcing

Provide the AI with the exact knowledge you want to share. You can upload specific documents (PDFs, lecture notes), provide URLs to web articles, or let the platform conduct autonomous research.

When the AI researches for you, it ensures academic integrity by fully citing and referencing all external sources directly within the module, giving students a clear path to further reading.

⚡

Accessible to All Educators

No coding, XML editing, or technical configuration required. Educators focus on learning design while the platform handles technical implementation, packaging, and LMS compatibility.

The platform removes technical barriers to SCORM module creation. Educators with no programming background can create modules that meet technical standards and institutional requirements.
