Questions from institutional partners.

Everything you need to know about bringing Thea to your institution. Don't see yours? Reach out and we'll walk you through it.

Academic Integrity & IP

Thea is purpose-built for practice and mastery, not for generating answers, essays, or completed assignments. It asks students questions rather than answering questions for them, which keeps academic integrity risk far below general-purpose AI chat tools.

Yes. Thea works alongside your existing LMS — Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, D2L, or others. Faculty embed a simple study kit link next to the relevant milestone; there's no migration and no parallel system for students to log into separately. Your course structure, assessments, and pedagogy stay exactly as they are.

Yes. Your intellectual property is fully protected. Materials you upload are never used to train AI models or shared with any other institution or user — only you and your students benefit from the content you provide.

Thea grounds all generated content in the specific materials you upload, which significantly reduces the risk of off-topic or inaccurate output. Because Thea asks students questions rather than generating open-ended prose, the surface area for hallucination is much narrower than with general-purpose AI tools. Faculty can review and edit study guides, and can flag any content that doesn't meet their standards.

Integration & Access

No. Thea works alongside your existing LMS — Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace, D2L, or others. Faculty embed a simple study kit link next to the relevant milestone; there's no migration and no parallel system for students to log into separately.

Students can currently log in using Google Classroom. Broader LMS integrations are under active consideration, and updates will be shared as development progresses. In the meantime, sharing a study kit link through your existing LMS takes only a moment.

Google-based SSO is currently supported, which works seamlessly for institutions using Google Workspace for Education. Broader SSO support is on our roadmap — reach out to discuss your institution's specific identity provider and we can share what's coming.

Data & Compliance

Uploaded materials are used exclusively to build study resources for your institution's students. Restricted materials, like prior assessments, are never exposed to students directly — only the practice questions Thea generates from them. Our practices are built around GDPR, FERPA, CCPA, HECVAT, and WCAG AA 2.1 requirements; full documentation is available on request.

Onboarding & Support

Yes. The Thea team supports faculty through onboarding, training, and initial study kit creation. Faculty upload materials they already have — slides, notes, syllabi, study guides — and Thea builds the study kit. Setup typically takes minutes per course, and we stay engaged through the semester to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Minimal. Faculty upload materials they already have — slides, notes, syllabi, study guides — and Thea builds the study kit. Setup typically takes minutes per course. The Thea team handles onboarding, training, and can assist with initial kit creation so faculty aren't starting from scratch.

A typical pilot runs about six months end to end: roughly four weeks of preparation, two weeks of orientation and launch, and twenty weeks of ongoing support through the semester.

Outcomes & Pricing

Yes. Exam-based, information-dense, high-volume, or high D/F/W courses tend to see the fastest and clearest impact. Thea has been used successfully across virtually every discipline, including low-enrollment courses. Reach out and we can share specific outcome data relevant to your institution's course mix.

Exam-based, information-dense, high-volume, or high D/F/W courses tend to see the fastest and clearest impact — but Thea has been used successfully across virtually every discipline, including low-enrollment courses.

No. Thea is designed to complement tutoring and supplemental instruction, extending access to more students and giving individual tutors a tool that makes their time more effective.

We work with institutions on pricing structures that fit your enrollment and goals — whether that's per student, per course, or a broader institutional agreement. An initial pilot is free. Reach out and we'll walk you through options for a longer paid pilot or institution-wide rollout.

An initial pilot is free. We'll work with you on the right scope and structure for a longer paid pilot or institution-wide rollout based on your enrollment and goals — reach out and we can walk through options.
