Assessment and course tooling for college teaching

The catalogue

What is built

35 modules in five groups. Everything is running today unless it is marked otherwise, and both Agoge Platform and Agoge CourseOps run all of it: the list is the capability, the two products are two ways to reach it.

Table 1

Graders

Nine of them. All accept a Brightspace submission ZIP and export a gradebook CSV.

ModuleWhat it does
SQL Rubric checks plus AI semantic analysis. Detects multiple valid forms of an answer, validates against the schema, and enforces a house style if the course has one.
Excel Formulas, named ranges, pivot tables, charts and formatting, with assertions that tell a calculated value from a typed-in one.
Essay Rubric-based assessment with configurable strictness and feedback per criterion rather than a single number.
Tableau TWB and TWBX files parsed for chart type, shelf fields, context filters, calculated fields and caption requirements.
Power BI Reads both the report layout and the data model, and validates DAX measures. Mac students have a documented way to submit.
Python Sandboxed test runs, structure analysis, a guard against blocked imports, and AI code review. Accepts .py files and notebooks.
R Tidyverse-aware, and grades without R installed on the server, so a missing runtime never stops a batch.
Statistics Numeric answers checked with tolerance, then method and interpretation scored separately. Works across R, Python, Excel and SPSS.
Access Table structure, queries, forms, reports and relationships, from ACCDB and MDB files.

Table 2

Assignment generators

Six. Each writes a rubric the matching grader can read.

ModuleWhat it does
SQL assignments Known schemas (Sakila, Northwind, Chinook) or your own, difficulty control, and multiple versions of the same assignment.
Excel assignments Task list, starter workbook and solution workbook, including Python-in-Excel tasks that return a chart into the grid.
Tableau assignments Skill profiles from beginner to advanced across 29 skills, with dataset management and Socratic instructor guides.
Power BI assignments Four assignment types across 28 skills, reusing datasets so a cohort sees the same data in three tools.
Statistics assignments Datasets built to have known coefficients and p-values, which is what lets the grader mark method as well as answer.
Quiz and exam questions Multiple choice, true/false, matching, fill-in-the-blank and essay prompts, exported in Brightspace quiz import format.

Table 3

Course content

Lecture material and walkthroughs, produced rather than recorded.

ModuleWhat it does
Tutorial engineNewest Turns a marked solution into a staged video that runs the work at every step. SQL and Excel Online today; Power BI and presentations next.
Lecture Studio Upload a slide deck and get a narrated video: a script is written, two voices read it with real pacing, and it is cut to a target length.
Presentation generator Topic to outline to a branded PowerPoint deck, with a fact-checking pass over the slides.
Image generation Illustrates slides automatically or builds a standalone image library. The provider is configurable, so the pipeline outlives any one model.

Table 4

Academic tools

The parts of teaching that are not marking.

ModuleWhat it does
AI oral exam The AI asks, listens and follows up, then returns a scored transcript against your rubric.
Peer evaluation Roster upload, teams, anonymous scoring, and reports that flag score spreads and disagreements worth a look.
Integrity analyzer Scores how easily an assignment could be completed by someone else, or by a chatbot, and hardens it on request.
Accessibility checker PowerPoint, PDF, Word and HTML scanned against WCAG 2.1 and Section 508, with a preview of each fix before it is applied.
Plagiarism detection Similarity across submissions within a cohort, reported alongside the grading run.
Course materials hub One course, term and section structure shared by every module, with a 30-day recycle bin.
Virtual teaching assistantIn progress Answers from your course materials only, and notices when you update them. Students get in with an access code.
Query ForgeIn progress A student SQL sandbox with a tutor attached, so practice happens somewhere the course can see it.

Table 5

Platform

Multi-tenant from the first line, not retrofitted.

ModuleWhat it does
Organizations Isolation per department, with its own logo, colours, usage analytics and quotas.
Model per function Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or Ollama running locally. An administrator chooses which model powers each function.
Keys three ways Provided by the organization, brought by the instructor, or billed through us. Service keys carry scopes and expiry.
REST API A documented API with interactive docs. Build your own front end, wire it into your LMS, or run it from CI.
Sign-inPartial Password, Microsoft Entra ID and Google today. SAML and generic OIDC have a configuration screen; the sign-in flow behind it is still landing.
Delegation and audit Consent-based delegation to teaching assistants with scoped permissions, and a per-user record of actions.
Analytics and search Grading trends, score distributions and storage use, plus search across every kind of content.
Export everything One ZIP of all your content. Nothing here is held hostage.
