AI has collapsed the cost of authoring world-class courseware, ending the century-long settlement in which faculty taught and publishers packaged. Didactica is the platform for what comes next — where the professor who teaches the course is also the author of its materials, tutoring, and assessments.
For a century, the textbook was the unit of higher education. Faculty taught; publishers packaged. That settlement is ending.
Didactica gives faculty the tools to author the course itself — the lessons, the tutoring, the assessments — and to keep them current without waiting for the next edition.
Upload textbooks, syllabi, or notes, and Didactica drafts a course blueprint — lessons, slides, quizzes, assignments — that faculty review and refine. Adapt a 16-week course to 8 or 5 weeks in hours, with clean Canvas or Brightspace sync.
A voice-based, multimodal tutor grounded in your course content and pedagogy — not generic subject knowledge. Verifies reading comprehension, supports exam prep, and walks students through assignments without giving the answer away.
Drafts grades against faculty-defined rubrics with transparent rationale and one-click override. Surfaces students slipping behind. Helps draft announcements and feedback in the professor's voice. Final review always stays with faculty.
Adapt to new knowledge in the field without waiting for the next publisher edition.
Introduce concepts and reinforce learning through guided dialogue rather than passive content.
Assess against defined learning outcomes in a way that protects the integrity of college credentials.
Reach students at the right moment with the right message — in the professor's voice.
Reshape the same course for 16, 8, or 5 weeks — or for online, hybrid, and in-person modalities.
Draft grades against faculty-defined rubrics with full transparency and one-click override. Faculty always decide.
Between us, we have built and scaled education technology to over a million students, led the curriculum engineering behind some of the most rigorously designed K–12 math programs in the country, and shaped national policy on college affordability and access.
A mathematician turned education entrepreneur. Most recently co-founded OfferFit, an AI decisioning platform acquired in 2025 for $325 million. Earlier, co-founded Reasoning Mind, a nonprofit whose K–8 mathematics program reached more than one million students after its acquisition by Imagine Learning. Author of Instruction Modeling (Oxford University Press, 2020).
Most recently President & CEO of TICAS, the nation's leading nonpartisan voice on college affordability, and has testified before Congress twice on higher education policy. Previously a Senior Program Officer at the Joyce Foundation and Associate Vice Chancellor at the City Colleges of Chicago, where he ran an Adult Education division serving 35,000 students.
Most recently Supervisor of Learning Architecture at Imagine Learning. Previously led curriculum engineering at Reasoning Mind, where he was responsible for the instructional-design pipeline that translated elite teaching practice into interactive digital lessons. Gold medalist at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Most recently Senior Product Strategist at Curriculum Associates, where he shaped the roadmap for i-Ready Math, reaching more than 10 million students. Earlier, at Reasoning Mind, co-led development of Blueprint, the nonprofit's award-winning PreK–2 math program (CODIE finalist). Leads the design of Didactica's AI Tutor.
We are inviting college leaders and faculty into a no-cost pilot. Partners get early access to a system being built around their actual classrooms; in exchange, we ask for intensive feedback that shapes the product. Faculty stay in the driver's seat throughout.
