Education·TruCampus
Every answer,grounded in the course.
TruCampus ties every session to a real course. Sign-in is the institution you already run, every answer is checked against the materials, and every citation points back to a page a teacher wrote.
01·The problem
Students hunt. Teachers repeat. Chatbots still guess.
What does it know?
Most AI
The open web, with a university skin on the chat box.
With TruCampus
This week's notes, readings and the syllabus.
Where are the files?
Most AI
Another tab. Another login. Another hunt before class.
With TruCampus
Library, documents and dates beside the conversation.
Who owns the answer?
Most AI
The model. If it's wrong, nobody can say why.
With TruCampus
The named course, the page, the teacher who wrote it.
02·The solution
The missing course layer
Put the materials in the conversation.
TruCampus sits between the student and the systems they already have. Identity comes from the institution, answers are written from the course, and every citation is a page a person can open.

Week 4 is examinable because the lab depends on it. The notes flag it as a midterm theme.

Questions
What people ask.
What is TruCampus?
A course-aware companion for students and teachers. Chat, library, documents, calendar and zones, grounded in institutional materials, not the open web.
How are answers grounded?
Each session is bound to a course. TruCampus reads the syllabus, notes, readings and calendar you give it, and writes from those. Citations point at the page, so a wrong answer is traceable.
Does it replace the LMS?
No. It sits beside the systems you already run. The LMS still stores the course. TruCampus is how a student finds the right page at the moment they need it.
How do teachers stay in control?
Authorship stays with the syllabus. Materials you publish are in scope. Materials you don't, aren't. When a document changes, the answers change with it.
How do people sign in?
Sign-in runs through the campus identity you already operate: SAML or OIDC, including Microsoft Entra, Okta, and most university IdPs. When someone leaves the institution, their TruCampus access leaves with the account.
