ArcAuthor: AI-Assisted Learning Platform
Most courseware still treats learning as sitting through content. ArcAuthor is an AI-assisted teaching platform I am building so authors design hands-on activities, instructors assign them, and learners submit real work with coaching rather than grades. It is under classroom testing and has not been released.
Learning by doing, not by sitting through courses
ArcAuthor is an AI-powered learning platform I am designing and building so people learn by completing real work. Authors design hands-on activities, instructors assign them to classes, and learners submit work and get coaching as they go — without turning progress into a grade.
The product idea is paths over courses, mastery over credentials, and action over passive consumption. Learning is a path of increasing capability, not a sequence of lectures.
Who it is for
- Authors who design and publish learning activities
- Instructors who assign activities, follow progress, and mentor
- Learners who complete assigned work, retry, and ask for help when stuck
- Organizations that run classes
A person can wear more than one hat — for example, learner in one class and instructor in another.
A typical loop
- An author builds an activity and publishes it.
- An instructor adopts it and assigns it to a class.
- Learners complete the activity — alone or with teammates — and submit.
- The platform checks the work and coaches the learner.
- Instructors see progress and can step in.
How it differs from a typical LMS or AI Policing Tool
- The unit of work is a hands-on activity you do, not a syllabus you watch.
- Feedback is coaching, not a grade or a credential.
- Published activities can be adopted into a class rather than rebuilt from scratch.
- Individual and team work can live in the same class.
Current status
ArcAuthor is under testing and is not released. There is no public site yet.
Discuss an Industry or Research Problem
I collaborate with asset-intensive organizations, research teams, and technical founders on problems involving maintenance, fleets, reliability, asset lifecycle, operational modeling, and system architecture.
If your organization has data, analytical models, or technical capability but still lacks a usable decision system, I would be interested in understanding the problem. Schedule a 20-minute introductory conversation to discuss the problem, its current constraints, and whether there is a useful basis for collaboration.
