From Zero to Integrated in 4 Steps

A typical integration takes one to two days for an IT admin.

1

Connect your LMS

Add OpenEduCat as an LTI tool provider in Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard, or use the REST API for custom LMS platforms. Course data, student rosters, and assignment details sync automatically.

2

Authenticate your AI model

Enter your API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, or configure a locally-hosted model like Llama. OpenEduCat stores your key encrypted and uses it only for direct model calls. No data passes through OpenEduCat servers.

3

Map data fields

Configure which LMS data feeds into AI context, course syllabus, assignment details, student performance history, or all of the above. Set field mappings once; they apply across all AI tools.

4

Go live

Enable AI tools for specific user groups, teachers, students, or admins. Tools appear in the OpenEduCat interface and optionally inside the LMS via LTI launch. The first AI interaction takes under 30 seconds to load.

Bring Your Own Model

No Lock-In on the AI Layer

OpenEduCat does not bundle a single AI model. You bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, or deploy an open-source model like Llama 3 or Mistral on your own servers. When a better model ships, you switch. No renegotiating contracts with OpenEduCat.

Cost control

You pay the AI provider directly at their rates. No OpenEduCat markup on AI compute.

Model choice

Switch from GPT-4o to Claude 3.5 to Gemini as the landscape evolves, no re-integration required.

Data privacy

Direct API calls mean your institution's data goes only to the AI provider you have approved.

On-premise option

Run Llama 3 or Mistral locally, zero data leaves your campus network.

Integration FAQs

Common questions from IT admins about connecting OpenEduCat AI to existing systems.

For Moodle and Canvas, the LTI 1.3 integration takes under 30 minutes for an IT admin familiar with the LMS. You register OpenEduCat as an external tool, enter the consumer key and secret, and the tool appears for all courses. For Blackboard and Google Classroom, the REST API setup requires generating API credentials in the external system and entering them in the OpenEduCat integration dashboard. Most institutions complete the full LMS integration in under two hours.
