CourseWise for K-12 schools
One FERPA- and COPPA-aware platform for the whole school — teachers author, students learn, admins govern — with AI authoring kept under adult control.
K-12 schools handle the education records of minors and rarely have spare IT capacity. CourseWise is a managed, FERPA-first platform that unifies course operations and keeps AI authoring governed by admins — so teachers get modern tools without the school taking on extra compliance or operations risk.
The challenges
- Records of minors
- Student data for under-18s (and under-13s) needs careful, defensible handling — FERPA and COPPA, not a marketing CRM in disguise.
- Tool sprawl
- Teachers juggle separate apps for materials, quizzes, attendance, and grades — double entry and four logins.
- Thin IT staff
- Most schools cannot run and maintain self-hosted LMS infrastructure.
- AI anxiety
- Schools want the upside of AI authoring without exposing students to ungoverned model output.
How CourseWise helps
- FERPA- & COPPA-first
- School-official mode, a signed DPA on request, an audit-ready event log, and deletion on request. See the FERPA and COPPA pages.
- One tool, one model
- Modules, materials, quizzes, assignments, attendance, discussions, and gradebook share a single data model — no double entry.
- Fully managed
- CourseWise is hosted SaaS; there is no server for the school to run or patch.
- Governed AI
- Admins own providers, models, cost ceilings, and prompt templates; every generation is audited and students never see raw, unrevised output.
What you get
- Signed DPA, FERPA-aligned record handling, deletion on request
- COPPA-aware handling for younger students
- Unified teacher / student / admin views
- Admin-governed AI material & quiz generation
- Audit log of admin actions and AI generations
- No infrastructure to run or maintain
K-12 schools: FAQ
Is CourseWise FERPA compliant?
CourseWise is built FERPA-first: it operates as a school official under §99.31, signs a DPA on request, keeps an audit log, and processes deletion requests. See the FERPA page for details.
How does CourseWise handle students under 13 (COPPA)?
Younger students are covered under the school-consent model with the same FERPA-first handling; see the COPPA page and reach out for your district’s specifics.
Do students see raw AI output?
No. AI authoring is an admin- and teacher-governed drafting tool; students see reviewed material, not unrevised model output.
