About

Built by an educator. For educators.

EduEthics.ai is a proprietary AI ethics and policy course platform serving colleges, universities, and community colleges across North America. It exists because most AI training in higher education right now is either corporate compliance repurposed for academia, or a one-hour video tacked onto a faculty development day. Neither works.

The problem we solve

Every college administrator I talk to is dealing with the same three pressures. Students are using generative AI for coursework faster than faculty can adapt. Faculty are split between those who see AI as existential and those who see it as a gimmick, with no institutional framework bridging them. Accreditors, boards of trustees, and state agencies are beginning to ask what the institution's AI policy actually is — and most institutions don't have one.

General-purpose AI literacy courses miss this. They teach what AI is. What higher education needs is training that addresses what AI does inside an academic context: to research, to assessment, to academic integrity, to the teacher-student relationship, to institutional governance. That's what EduEthics.ai teaches.

What makes this different

Three things separate this from the content flooding the market right now.

A live AI teaching assistant inside every module. Students don't just read about AI — they interact with a rate-limited, scope-constrained AI assistant that models responsible use. The assistant refuses to write their essay. It refuses to answer off-topic questions. It's transparent about its own limitations, including hallucinations. This is ethics training through direct experience, not abstraction.

Multi-tenant architecture with institutional branding. Each institution gets a branded course experience (logo, institution name, instructor videos, passing-score thresholds) without us hand-building a new product for them. One codebase, many schools, complete data isolation between institutions.

Built by someone who's actually run a college. The platform's pedagogy, assessment structure, and policy framing come from two decades of academic administration experience — not from a consultant who read three books about higher education.
