Three audiences, one project
Everyone enters through
his own door.
The platform adapts to the role you play in the project — without ever locking you into it. A partner can follow; a student can propose.
Students
Teachers
Partners
Students
Work for real, not just for the grade.
Join the team assigned to your project, communicate directly with the community partner, and keep a public record of what you have delivered. Each deliverable remains visible in the public gallery, long after the session ends—a true portfolio, not just a grade on a transcript. You choose your team, the partner chooses their project—the rest happens on the platform, with no lost emails.
Teams by project
A private team workspace, invisible to other groups.
Direct partner contact
Messaging and project forums shared with the community partner.
Courses and assessments
Assignments, quizzes, and submissions managed in the course's academic space.
Public gallery
Your completed deliverables, visible in the gallery without registration.
Teachers
Coordinate without lose track of the teams.
A single course can include multiple projects and partners — each team works within its own space, without seeing the work of other groups. A single course space is enough to supervise all teams and all partners at once, without juggling multiple tools. You stay in control of project approval and team assignment, from the start of the term to the final submission.
Invisible groups
Each project team works in the same course without seeing the others.
Approval workflow
Validate the submitted projects before they are assigned to a team.
Support for assistants
Delegate grading to the TAs, without losing sight of the big picture.
Import a lot
Add an entire cohort per CSV file — without a prior uOttawa account.
Partners
Submit a need, not a 40-page specifications document.
Describe your problem, track its progress at every step, and retrieve your deliverables — without ever having to open Moodle. Tracking remains simple from start to finish: submission, review, team assignment, and delivery of deliverables. No technical knowledge required — you track the project with clear steps and a single point of contact.
Submission form
Describe your project once, status visible in real time.
Directory and matching
Find students by field or institution — and vice versa.
Read access
Track your team's progress without ever having to open Moodle.
Recoverable deliverables
Documents and final reports uploaded to your project space.

Testimonials
Said by those
who spend their days there.
I came for a mandatory class. I stayed because our bridge model was actually used for the partner's renovation project.

Student, genius · 2e year
Six partners, six invisible teams, just one course to manage. I see everything, the partners see just what is necessary.

We submitted our requirement on a Tuesday. By Friday, a team of four students was already working on it — without us having to touch Moodle.
