BIO 214Cell Signaling and Disease

Student Workspace

The answer stays inside the course.

Cites sources
Why does receptor desensitization matter in long-term treatment?
Receptor desensitization means the cell responds less after repeated exposure to a signal. In this course, Professor Rivera connects it to dosage planning: the same signal can produce a weaker effect over time, so treatment has to account for changing responsiveness.

  1. The AI only knows what the professor uploadsSyllabus, slides, and rubrics become the assistant's entire world, not the open internet.
  2. Every answer cites the courseStudents can click through to the exact slide or page, so trust never depends on vibes.
  3. Professors set rules the AI can't breakIntegrity mode, citation policy, and assessment boundaries are enforced on every reply.
The problem

Students are already using AI on your courses.

Right now that happens through generic chatbots: outside your policies, outside your visibility, and often wrong about your class. The real question is whether your institution has any say in how.

Ungoverned

Generic chatbots follow their own rules, not your syllabus, your honor code, or your assessment policy.

Invisible

Faculty get no signal about what students ask, where they struggle, or how AI is shaping their learning.

Unaccountable

Answers come from the open internet with no citations, confidently wrong about your course and impossible to check.

The stakes

The question is no longer whether students use AI on your courses. It's whether the institution can see it, shape it, and answer for it.

A generic chatbot

Answers from the open internet. No citation, no syllabus, no record the institution can review.

Inside EdPilot

Answers from the professor's own materials, cited to the page, inside the guardrails the course set.

CitedCourse-scopedReviewable
How it works

From syllabus to student support in an afternoon.

No IT project, no migration. A professor uploads materials, sets the rules, and shares a link. The course model does the rest.

01

Upload course materials

Syllabi, lectures, readings, rubrics, policies, and assignments become the source of truth.

02

Configure guardrails

Faculty choose citation rules, assessment boundaries, tone, and what the assistant can answer.

03

Students ask safely

The assistant gives grounded explanations, practice prompts, and hints without completing work.

04

Faculty see patterns

Confusion, misuse attempts, and concept gaps become visible before the next assessment.

Answers grounded in your course materials

Built for the institution

One campus decision. Three clear experiences.

The university owns the evaluation. Each role gets a focused experience inside the same governed academic boundary.

Administrators

A governed path for campus AI adoption.

Pilot course-grounded AI with privacy posture, rollout controls, and faculty ownership built into the experience.

Professors

Fewer repetitive questions, more useful signals.

Set the knowledge boundary, review source-backed answers, and see where students are struggling before office hours fill up.

Students

24/7 help that speaks the language of the class.

Get explanations, practice prompts, and citations from the actual syllabus, slides, readings, and rubrics.

Why EdPilot

Built for higher education, not generic chat.

Other AI tools are built for everyone. EdPilot is scoped to a course, governed by faculty, and designed for institutional review.

Compare EdPilot to the alternatives

Faculty-controlled

Instructors define what the AI knows, how it responds, and where it stops.

Integrity-first

Designed to guide students toward understanding instead of completing assessed work.

Insight-rich

Show where students are confused before confusion becomes an exam result.

Featured product

AI Teaching Assistant

A teaching assistant that answers student questions at 2am using your materials, your terminology, and your standards.

  • Cites your readings instead of random internet sources.
  • Flags misconceptions before they reach the exam.
  • Follows the guardrails and knowledge boundary you set.
  • Separates fast pilots from responsible institutional rollout.
Explore Curriculum Intelligence
Integrations

Meets your campus where it already works.

EdPilot runs in the browser and connects to the tools your courses already live in, starting with Canvas.

Canvas LMS

Sync courses, rosters, assignments, and due dates directly from Canvas, so the assistant knows what's due and when.

Live

Works with or without an LMS

Fully browser-based. No installation, no plugin approval, no migration. Professors share a link and students are in.

Live

LTI 1.3 embedding

Deeper embedding inside Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard through the LTI standard is on the roadmap.

Planned
Security & privacy

Prepared for the questions buyers actually ask.

EdPilot makes the academic, privacy, and implementation posture visible before a pilot turns into a procurement surprise.

FERPA & student data

Handling built around institution-bound course and student data. Student records never train public models.

Data boundaries

Course materials, interactions, and deployments are scoped by institution and course, encrypted in transit and at rest.

Compliance status

SOC 2 Type II audit in progress. Procurement-ready notes cover data handling, LMS status, retention, and rollout.

WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility

Interaction patterns and content flows are designed and reviewed against WCAG 2.2 AA.

Faculty ownership

Course control stays with the instructor instead of moving into a generic AI layer.

Integrity controls

Assessment and homework requests can be routed toward hints, practice, or refusal states.

Questions

What people ask before they pilot.

How is EdPilot different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers from the open internet and follows its own rules. EdPilot answers only from the materials a professor uploads, cites those sources, and follows the guardrails the professor sets, including refusing to complete graded work. See the full comparison.
Do professors control what the AI can and can't do?
Yes. Instructors set the knowledge boundary (course materials only, or course-plus-context), the citation policy, how the assistant handles assessment questions, and its tone. The AI works for the professor, not around them.
How long does setup take?
Registering a university takes about two minutes, and professors can be teaching with EdPilot the same week. There is no IT integration project. Upload materials, set the rules, and share the class link.
What does it cost to try?
Universities can evaluate EdPilot in real courses before committing to a broader rollout. Institutional pricing scales with campus size, so a focused pilot never carries enterprise pricing. See pricing.
How is student data handled?
Course materials and student interactions are scoped to your institution and course, and student records are never used to train public models. Read the answers we prepare for IT, legal, and procurement.
