The exchange
What you get
- Full instructor access, free for the pilot semester. The Sympos team sends you a pilot code; redeeming it activates your instructor account with free student seats.
- All of your enrolled students included. Students chat free under your pilot code.
- Direct support from the Sympos team. Help building your assignments, help understanding the tool, whatever the pilot needs.
- Your material stays yours. Uploads are visible only to you and your enrolled students, and model providers do not train on data sent through the platform.
What we ask in return
- Product feedback. What is working, what is annoying, what you would change. Critical feedback is the most useful kind.
- A testimonial to the dean's office. For Sympos to stay available at your institution beyond pilots, it has to move to institutional procurement. A short note from you to the dean's office is what makes that possible.
- Colleague referrals. Introduce us to one or two colleagues at your institution who might want to pilot it too.
The semester and the cost
What a pilot semester looks like
- Before term
- 10 to 20 minutes. Create your account, redeem the pilot code, create your class, and upload your materials. The class setup guide walks through every step.
- First week
- Build your first assignment (the AI can draft one from your materials), preview it as a student, and share the class join code with your students.
- During term
- Assign dialogue-based work at whatever cadence fits your course. Watch the class insights to see where students struggle before the next lecture.
- End of term
- We compare notes. You decide whether to continue, expand, or stop.
What it costs
Pilot: free.
Future semesters: through your institution.
How much of your time
- Class setup: 10 to 20 minutes.
