From student struggle to mastery — in minutes.

1011, what is the leftmost bit worth?LMS Bridge registers as a standard LTI 1.3 tool. Your admin needs four URLs from your instance.
In your LMS admin (Blackboard / Brightspace / Canvas / Moodle) add a new LTI 1.3 / Advantage tool using the URLs above, and enable AGS + NRPS + Deep Linking.
The LMS gives you an Issuer, Client ID, Deployment ID, and its auth/token/JWKS URLs. Enter them in your admin console (the LMS (LTI) tab) to complete registration — Canvas and Moodle do this in one click via Dynamic Registration.
Instructors add LMS Bridge to a module via Deep Linking and launch — single sign-on does the rest.
Prefer to self-host? Bring it up with Docker and point it at your own AI key — the full runbook is in the repo (docs/INSTALL_LTI.md, docs/DEPLOY_RAILWAY.md). No student data leaves your environment.
No. Mastery indicators are a private learning aid. Grades are set solely by the instructor through official assessments; any LMS gradebook write-back is a non-graded column.
The opposite. The tutor is pedagogically constrained: it diagnoses and guides with Socratic questions and never provides graded answers.
LMS Bridge is FERPA-aware with role-based access. For full governance, run the AI on your own approved infrastructure (e.g. your Azure OpenAI tenant) via bring-your-own-key — or self-host the whole thing so nothing leaves your boundary.
Bring your own key: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Azure OpenAI work out of the box, chosen per institution or course. A local/self-hosted model behind an OpenAI-compatible endpoint works too — so you can run entirely on-premise with no third-party API.
Only what your own provider charges for the tokens you use — there's no per-student LMS Bridge fee. A small, fast model keeps it low, and you can set a hard spend cap in your provider's console. The non-AI features cost nothing to run.
Yes. Instructors control course content, concepts, and which assessments feed the engine; tutoring is grounded in the instructor's own materials, and prompt templates are course-configurable.
Yes — that's the point: personalized, concept-level help at a scale where individual feedback is otherwise impossible. Roster and grades sync automatically via LTI Advantage (NRPS/AGS).
Yes. LMS Bridge ingests rubric-level results from the LMS gradebook and uses that criterion-by-concept signal (alongside multiple-choice answers) to target remediation.

Sage is a standalone mini-LMS with LMS Bridge built in. An instructor creates a course, adds multiple-choice quizzes, and shares a join code — no IT, no LMS admin. When a student misses a concept, the platform automatically builds them a guided practice session. A simple course platform where adaptive remediation just works, out of the box.
Join educators using LMS Bridge to turn struggle into mastery.
