AI-fy your Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard or Brightspace in under 3 minutes

EduGears AI LTI works with any LMS that supports LTI 1.3 Advantage, including Moodle (4.0+), Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace (D2L). Setup takes about 3 minutes. Optional plugins are available for Moodle and Canvas for enhanced integration.

Yes — we already have customers running EduGears AI on their own in-house LMS platforms. If your team has built an LMS with a standards-compliant LTI 1.3 Advantage implementation, EduGears AI connects to it exactly like any commercial LMS, with no plugin or custom code required. You register EduGears AI as an external tool using your platform's client ID, deployment ID, and public keyset, and deep linking, automatic grade passback (AGS), and names & roles (NRPS) all work over the standard LTI endpoints.

Yes — fully. EduGears AI detects Canvas Blueprint master and child courses automatically on LTI launch. Question banks, rubrics, quizzes, and other content authored in the master course propagate to every linked child section, and master instructors get per-section analytics across all child courses on the same content. Child-course instructors see master content as read-only so it can't be accidentally edited. This is rare in the LTI world — most tools treat each Canvas course in isolation.

Yes! EduGears AI LTI is free to get started — no instructor-seat limit, unlimited free learners, all 26 AI tools, and 200 AI credits to evaluate them, with no credit card. Paid plans are sized by instructor seats and include AI with no credit limits, subject to fair use.

On paid plans, no — AI is included with no credit limits and nothing to top up, subject to fair use. The free plan is the metered one: it comes with 200 AI credits, spent 1 credit per chat turn or AI-graded question, 3 per multi-step generation (lesson plan, slides, study guide, worksheet, or a question set of up to 5), and 10 per graded file or AI-generated image. If you'd rather run everything through your own AI account, Bring Your Own Key is free on every plan — connect your OpenAI / Claude / Gemini / DeepSeek / Sarvam key and you'll be billed at the provider's rate.

Most institutions complete the full setup in under 3 minutes. You register the tool in your LMS admin panel, configure the LTI keys, and you're ready to go. Instructors can then add AI tools to any course with just a few clicks.

No intrusive plugins or custom code are required. EduGears AI LTI uses the LTI 1.3 standard built into all major LMS platforms. Optional lightweight plugins are available for Moodle (marketplace.moodle.com/plugins/3620) and Canvas (EduAppCenter) for streamlined setup, but everything works through your LMS's existing external tool configuration.

Absolutely. We are FERPA and COPPA compliant. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We only receive the minimal information needed for authentication (name, email, course context) through LTI claims. We never store LMS credentials, and student content is never used to train AI models.

Yes. Through LTI Assignment and Grade Services (AGS), grades from AI-graded assessments are automatically posted back to your LMS gradebook. This works seamlessly with Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace.

Cog is the EduGears AI assistant surface — one chat reached from every page instead of separate AI Tutor and AI Assistant pages. Click Ask Cog in the corner and it already knows what you have open: a chip names the lesson, resource or question the conversation is about, and you can widen it to the module, the course, or anything at all. Instructors open on the AI Assistant and can toggle to the AI Tutor to see exactly what a learner would be told; learners get the tutor only. It will not surface quiz or answer-key material, so it is safe to leave on during assessment — and it is already switched on for every institution, on every plan including Free.

Yes. Every graded quiz can carry its own Opens, Due and Closes times, set in the quiz editor in your own time zone. Students can't start an attempt before it opens or after it closes — the Start button isn't even shown — while an attempt already under way can always be finished. A due date never blocks anyone: work submitted after it is badged "Submitted late" for the student and noted in the gradebook comment. If your LMS sends its own dates for the activity, those replace the settings here.

Yes — that is what a section panel is for. Pick the questions it covers and write the panel once: it takes no number, carries no marks, and never affects a score. It opens in full above the first question in the run, and every later question in that run shows a one-line control instead, so a student on question fourteen can re-read the passage without scrolling back. Quizzes imported from Moodle or Canvas bring their panels with them — Moodle calls them description items and Canvas calls them text-only questions — and exporting as a Moodle backup writes them back out the same way.

No. Files live in a Media Library and your lessons, questions and activities only point at them, so replacing the file updates every place it is used without editing or re-saving anything. Each file keeps a permanent link that renaming never moves, a version history you can roll back with Make current, and a Used in list — and the confirmation names every place a file is used before the swap happens. You never have to visit the Library to fill it: uploading inside an editor, a question, or an attachments activity puts the file there for you. Video and audio play inline and PDFs display in the page.

Your content belongs to you. All generated questions, slides, study guides, and other materials are saved to your course and persist across sessions. You retain full ownership and can export everything as PDF or QTI. We do not use your content to train AI models.

Yes! Teachers can share any AI-generated content directly with students through their LMS. For quizzes and worksheets, answers are automatically hidden from students so they can complete the activities without seeing the solutions. Teachers retain full control over when and how answers are revealed.
