Lecturer pilot
Pilot environmentCreate source-grounded assessments, and see how students reason.
Akanya helps lecturers build assessments from their own approved material, then makes student evidence, working, challenge responses and defended judgement visible for review. You remain the final academic authority throughout.
Access is by invitation. Current stage: product validation and controlled lecturer testing.
What you can test
Create an assessment session
Set the module, level, marks, duration and AI use policy for one assessment.
Work from your own material
Upload up to four approved files, then review the source passages before anything is generated.
Generate an editable draft
Akanya proposes a blueprint from approved material. Nothing becomes final until you approve it.
Customise the paper
Edit wording, marks, timing, rubric dimensions and evidence requirements.
Configure a challenge
Decide when a Socratic challenge appears, what grounds it and how students may respond.
Preview both views
Walk the student reasoning journey, then see what a lecturer would review.
What you may upload
- Lecture notes, slides and readings you have permission to use.
- A prior or fictional assessment you are comfortable testing with.
- Case material, data extracts or a CSV for numerical assessment.
PDF, DOCX, TXT and CSV are supported. Up to four files per session.
What not to upload
- Identifiable student information of any kind.
- Confidential examination material you are not authorised to share.
- Anything you could not show a colleague in a testing session.
This is a prototype environment for validation. Please do not use it for live student assessment.
Your material, deleted
Uploaded files are stored privately and scheduled for deletion. You can choose to delete them as soon as your session ends, or delete any file immediately.
You keep authority
Akanya proposes. It does not decide. No automated final marks, no misconduct decisions, no behavioural profiling.
