Quality is built in from the planning stage, not just checked afterwards.
One system connecting graduate skills, the program as a whole, each course and teaching in practice.

Quality monitoring

Monitoring teaching quality across every course in the institution, with a focus on skills and on AI integration

Quality monitoring gives academic leadership and heads of department a complete picture, instead of relying on a sample that is not representative.

Academic quality dashboard

A first-of-its-kind dashboard dedicated to course quality, with a focus on skills, active learning and AI in teaching

The dashboard does more than display data. It explains and justifies it, lets you ask questions and recommends how to improve, all in plain everyday language:

  • Active learningCourses in which most learning activities use active methods
  • Depth of learningCourses in which most outcomes reach higher-order thinking
  • Practice and feedbackMeasures the level of practice and feedback throughout the course
  • AI integrationCourses in which AI has a defined pedagogical role
  • SkillsCourses in which the skill is practiced, with a view by skill area
  • TrendChange over the years, by year, department, unit and course type
The CourseSophia dashboard: share of courses with mapped skills, with active learning in most activities, with higher-order outcomes, with practice and feedback, with AI in a defined role, and share of syllabi reviewed

Syllabus review

An in-depth review of every syllabus in the institution, whether you are a small college or an institution teaching thousands or tens of thousands of courses

An in-depth syllabus review is hard to sustain, whether an institution teaches a few hundred courses or thousands. Reviewers and teaching and learning centers manage to read only a small share of syllabi, and the rest are published without anyone reviewing them.

CourseSophia's agents read every syllabus in depth: the learning outcomes, the alignment between outcomes, activities and assessment, teaching methods, workload and the role of AI. They note what is in order and what needs correcting, and the reviewer at the institution makes the decision.

Skills

Skills-based learning across the entire academic program

Every institution can define the skills it gives its graduates. CourseSophia spreads them across every part of the program, from the graduate profile to the teaching in each course, and shows leadership how well they are being acquired across the institution.

The institution

Defines the graduate skills

The institution decides which skills its graduates will bring to the workplace and to society, according to its vision, fields and programs.

The AI agents

Translate them for every course

The agents translate the graduate skills into the skills students will acquire in each course, in line with the program.

The lecturer

Plans how they will be acquired

As part of course planning, the lecturer decides through which activities and assignments students will acquire the course skills.

The dashboard

Shows how well they are acquired

Skill acquisition across each program and institution-wide, by year, faculty and department.

The institution can show students, employers and any reviewing body which skills its graduates acquire, and where.

Why now?

Planning the academic program matters more than ever

Knowledge is available to everyone, AI is changing the role of higher education, and what graduates can do is becoming more important than what they know. To lead this change, an institution needs to see the whole learning cycle, from the program to the teaching that actually happens.

1

Knowledge is available; skills are decisive

When any information is a search away, the value of a degree is measured more and more by the skills graduates acquire. The program needs to define them, spread them across courses and show that they are acquired.

2

AI is changing the role of higher education

AI tools write, summarize and solve for the student. Institutions need to redefine their role in educating young people and decide, in every course, what role AI plays, so that it supports learning rather than replacing thinking.

3

Few tools see the whole learning cycle

Most tools handle one part: course management, syllabus writing or reporting. CourseSophia connects the program, the courses, the teaching and the dashboard in one system.

What the institution gains

Quality you can demonstrate

Clear, measurable indicators for teaching, learning and skill acquisition that can be presented to leadership, committees and any reviewing body.

Attracting students

A program with a defined, up-to-date graduate profile, grounded in the needs of employment and the field, is easier to present to applicants.

Saving time, with better results

The information comes from work lecturers do anyway: building the course and writing the syllabus. No extra forms and no annual survey.

The full picture

Program, courses and teaching in one system

The academic program defines what each course contributes to the graduate. Courses are built accordingly, and actual teaching comes back as a status view that lets the program be updated over time.

One cycle, from the program to actual teaching, and back.
Academic program

Planning and managing the entire academic program

The academic program defines what graduates need to know and be able to do when they complete the degree. CourseSophia helps draft the program, decide what each course contributes to it, and check on an ongoing basis whether the courses, together, actually get the graduate there.

Ethical judgment is taught at the introductory level only. No course takes it to mastery or assessment before graduation.

Introduced Reinforced Mastered Assessed

The four levels describe how far a course advances a graduate outcome. The example is for illustration only and is not based on institutional data.

Define

Drafting the program

Sophia proposes a draft of the program goals and graduate outcomes based on the institution's strategic documents. The program head edits and approves.

Assign

Dividing responsibility among courses

Each course is assigned the graduate outcomes it serves and to what level. The program sets what the course contributes and does not interfere with the course content itself.

Track and update

Comparing plan and practice

A coverage map compares what was assigned to each course with what the course states in its syllabus, and flags where a decision is needed.

GapA graduate outcome left incomplete

An outcome taught at the introductory level, with no course taking it to mastery or assessment.

OverlapThe same material twice

Two courses cover the same outcome at the same level.

DriftA course that has changed

The syllabus was updated, and the course no longer serves what was assigned to it.

SequenceA prerequisite that comes too late

A course assumes knowledge that is taught only in a later course.

OptionalStudent achievement data, off by default

When the institution turns it on, actual achievement can be compared with the plan, to decide whether the program itself needs to change.

How it works

A team of specialized agents, led by Sophia

Sophia is available in a side panel on every screen and routes each request to the right agent. Each agent draws on institutional knowledge and data in real time, checks the result, and shows where every answer came from.

Course planning with Sophia

Learning outcomes, knowledge and skill levels, units, sessions and learning activities. The result goes straight into Moodle and into the syllabus.

Syllabus review and publication

An in-depth review of every syllabus by the agents, and an approval workflow with each unit's reviewers and approvers.

Academic quality dashboard

Indicators for active learning, depth of learning and AI integration, with plain-language questions and recommendations, by year, faculty and department.

Hebrew and English

Sophia works in both languages, and the interface supports right-to-left writing.

Fitted to the institution

The institution's pedagogical model, syllabus template, organizational structure and tool catalog.

Demo site

Ten complete courses (currently in Hebrew) where you can work with Sophia and the dashboard. Access is given to staff of academic institutions, with approval from the Sophia-AI team. Request access or sign in

By role

The same information, the right view for each role

Lecturers see pedagogical terms. The teaching and learning center sees the codes and indicators it already knows. CourseSophia follows each institution's own division of academic responsibility.

Implementation

Guided implementation

An institutional system should not be complicated for the institution. Each institution is assigned a personal implementation guide from the Sophia-AI team, who works with its staff from the start until the system runs as part of routine work.

Stage one

Start with a limited scope

One department or one program, according to what matters to the institution now. There is no need to roll out the whole system on day one.

Stage two

Fitted to the institution

Together with the institution, the guide sets up the pedagogical model, the syllabus template and the organizational structure, and trains lecturers and staff.

Stage three

Expand at the institution's pace

Once the first stage is running, the system expands to more departments and programs. The guide continues to support the institution along the way.

Let's go through one of your programs together and plan where to start

In the conversation we look at one of your programs: which skills and graduate outcomes it defines, how the courses deliver them, and where it makes sense to begin.
