Use case
CourseWise for individual educators
A modern, AI-native workspace for solo educators and small departments running pilots — author faster, with no infrastructure to manage.
Individual educators and tutors want the productivity of AI authoring without an enterprise LMS or an IT department. The CourseWise Educators tier is built for exactly that: spin up a few courses, generate drafts with your own API key or pooled credits, and teach.
The challenges
- No IT support
- Solo educators cannot run servers or manage a heavyweight LMS.
- Authoring takes time
- Building reading materials and quizzes by hand is slow.
- Enterprise overkill
- Full institutional platforms are too much tool — and too much cost — for one teacher.
How CourseWise helps
- Start in minutes
- A managed, opinionated setup — no infrastructure, no admin project.
- AI drafting built in
- Generate reading materials and quizzes, then refine in a markdown editor with live preview. Bring your own API key (BYOK) or use pooled credits with caps.
- Right-sized
- The Educators tier covers up to five courses with the core editor and gradebook — without enterprise complexity.
What you get
- Up to 5 courses (Educators tier)
- AI material & quiz generation (BYOK or pooled credits)
- Markdown editor with live preview
- Quizzes with auto-grading and a gradebook
- Nothing to host or maintain
