The problem

AI has made traditional assignments harder to trust

Quizzes, essays, case writeups, and group projects were built for a different classroom. Students can now use AI to produce polished work without showing how they think.

Professors need coursework that reveals real understanding: how students apply concepts, make decisions, use evidence, and explain their reasoning.

How it works

From topic to simulation in 3 steps

You stay in control of the topic, rubric, standards, and final grade.

Get started
1
Enter your topic or assignment

Start with a lesson topic, quiz, case, written task, project, or syllabus.

2
Preview and refine the simulation

Cartedo creates the scenario, tasks, rubric, resources, and feedback model. Review it, edit it, and experience it as a learner before publishing.

3
Assign and get insights

Students complete the simulation. Cartedo grades, gives feedback, and shows performance reports you can review.

Grading & feedback

Grade the thinking behind the answer

Cartedo shows whether students can apply concepts, use evidence, make decisions, respond to feedback, and defend their reasoning — not just submit a polished answer.

Every score includes a rubric, rationale, and instructor-reviewable feedback. You stay in control of the standards and final grade.

FAQ

You've likely got a few questions

Can students use AI while completing simulations?

Yes. Cartedo is designed for the AI era. Students can use tools, but they still need to apply concepts, make decisions, explain their reasoning, and defend their work in context.

What does Cartedo grade?

Cartedo grades how students apply concepts, use evidence, make decisions, respond to feedback, and explain their reasoning against your course-aligned rubric.

Can I review or override grades?

Yes. Every score includes a rubric and rationale you can review. You stay in control of your grading standards and final grade decisions.

Can I edit simulations?

Yes. Most simulations are ready to preview as generated, but you can customize as much as you want — scenarios, tasks, stakeholders, resources, rubrics, skills, chat duration, emails, avatars, and supporting content — without code or AI prompting.

Is Cartedo only for business courses?

No. Cartedo works best in courses where students need to apply concepts, make decisions, communicate clearly, and explain their thinking. It is especially useful in business, management, law, nursing, communication, finance, psychology, and other applied disciplines.

How long does it take to set up?

Most simulations take about 10–15 minutes to generate from a topic, assignment, quiz, case, project, or syllabus. You can preview the simulation, adjust it, and assign it when ready.

Who pays?

Cartedo works like courseware or a textbook. Students usually pay when you assign it, and department or institution payment options are available for larger rollouts.

How much does it cost?

The Course Simulation Pack is $65 / student / course / semester and includes up to 5 simulations, grading, feedback, your dashboard, and course insights.

Can I see a simulation for my course?

Yes. You can request a free simulation using your course topic, syllabus, or assignment. Preview it, test it with students, and assign Cartedo when you see the learning value.

Is student and course data secure?

Yes. Cartedo is built for higher-ed course use, with FERPA-aligned data practices, HECVAT documentation available, and regular VAPT security testing. For department or university rollouts, Cartedo can support your privacy, data, and security review process.

Does Cartedo use student work to train public AI models?

No. Cartedo does not use student submissions or course materials to train public AI models. Student work is used to deliver the assigned learning experience: grading, feedback, instructor review, and course insights.

Does Cartedo work with my LMS?

Yes. Cartedo connects with LMS platforms through LTI, so you can assign simulations inside your existing course workflow.

Is Cartedo accessible for students?

Cartedo’s learner platform is designed to support accessibility requirements, including WCAG 2.1 AA, with accessibility support through accessiBe.
