Unrestricted AI Is disrupting
student learning
General-purpose AI like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude gives students instant answers, but it can also bypass the intellectual work that leads to real understanding. It rarely reflects the specific objectives, methods, and materials of a course, leaving faculty with little control over the guidance students receive. And studies are increasingly showing that student learning is suffering as a result.
Numina offers a different way forward!
Aligned with
Teaching Objectives
Numina’s adaptive learning platform helps faculty shape the learning experience, extend support beyond class, and see where students need help.
Set the course direction
Faculty define the course materials, learning objectives, instructional guidance, and assistant behavior all within their learning management system—keeping the student experience aligned with the way they want the course taught.
Extend teaching beyond class
Numina uses instructor course materials and learning objectives to guide students with short lessons, questions, close readings, explanations, practice, and feedback—giving students more support without requiring faculty to be available for every question.
Created to Support the
Entire Learning Journey
Numina supports students at key moments throughout the course.
01
Before class
Students engage in their LMS with course readings, structured lessons, short videos, and podcasts to clarify key ideas and prepare for discussion, with scaffolded support when they struggle—helping them arrive better prepared and ready to participate.
03
Before assessment
Students set their own practice routines using multiple-choice, short-answer, long-answer, matching, and flashcard activities—helping them test their understanding, identify gaps, and focus their preparation before graded work.

“Integrating ScholarMind into Canvas via LTI required minimal configuration, and authentication handoff worked without issues. Both the frontend and backend interfaces are clean and intuitive, reducing the learning curve for instructors and students. AI multimedia rendering support allows rich content to be built directly into the course design workflow. Overall, it’s a well-architected solution with strong potential to scale across broader use cases.”

“I used Numina with my MYP 5 Language & Literature class. Students noticed straight away that it prompts rather than answers, and several told me the guidance pushed them to develop their earlier thinking. They stayed with the work and made meaningful progress.”
