3 university scenarios
Scenario 1: Total replacement (new private/modernizing)
Why Studeia: 60-85% lower TCO than Canvas/Blackboard enterprise, modern UX, real AI tutor, native B2B mobile, 1-2 month setup vs 6-12 months, native LGPD.
Scenario 2: Complement via LTI (large public university already on Canvas/Moodle)
Why Studeia as LTI tool: new specific courses (e.g., CS discipline with real AI tutor) without divesting main LMS, pilot department experiments before institutional decision, integrates with existing gradebook via AGS grade passback, student uses institutional SSO (Shibboleth).
Scenario 3: New EAD college
Why Studeia: complete platform (CMS + AI tutor + gradebook + LTI + mobile) without charging per module, B2B mobile essential, AI tutor reduces human tutoring cost.
Critical features for university
Professional gradebook
Weighted categories, per-category drop-lowest, multi-criteria rubrics with custom scales (1-5 or custom), integrity flags (ShieldAlert inline: tab switch, copy/paste, time anomalies), item visibility via isPublished, and CSV export with a category-weighted final grade. Automatic late penalty and scheduled date-based release are on the roadmap.
Quiz engine with psychometric analytics
12 question types, configuration (maxAttempts, timeLimit, shuffle, accessCode, lockdown, IP whitelist, question pooling, scoringPolicy), analytics (item difficulty, point-biserial discrimination, distractor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, score distribution). Reusable question bank + RAG ingestion.
LTI 1.3 tool provider
Studeia works as tool inside Canvas/Moodle/Blackboard. Student in Canvas clicks "Studeia Module" → OIDC authentication → Studeia renders in Canvas iframe → student completes activity → Studeia sends grade via AGS endpoint → grade appears in Canvas gradebook (Canvas remains source-of-truth).
Enterprise SSO
Enterprise plan. Setup 1-2 days. Allowed domains validation. SCIM 2.0 for automatic provisioning. Group → Course mapping for auto-enrollment.
Multi-tenancy isolated per faculty
Large universities can have Studeia as one tenant per faculty (Engineering, Medicine, EAD, etc) with isolated data, different white-label, local admin per faculty, Rector as global admin.
TCO compared — 5,000-student university / 3 years
| Item | Blackboard/Canvas Enterprise | Studeia Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| License | R$600k-1.875M | R$108k-288k |
| Setup + implementation | USD $25k-100k | R$0-30k |
| Staff training | USD $10k-50k | Included |
| Custom development | USD $50k-300k | Via public API |
| AI costs (5000 × R$4 × 36) | N/A | R$720k |
| TOTAL 3 years | R$1.5M-3.5M | R$828k-1.038M |
Studeia typically 30-60% cheaper.
Honest pending items
- Academic seals: Studeia doesn't have specific MEC seals yet (waiting 2026 H2). For federal public university: may be blocker.
- SCORM 2004: NOT supported. For legacy SCORM courses: need to recreate or keep old LMS.
- Brazilian academic systems (Banner, SISU, e-MEC): integration via public API is possible but requires custom development.
- Academic research: no dedicated module for research/papers/study group management. Focus is teaching.
- Digital libraries: don't integrate with Pearson, Cengage, etc.
