Ilm Nova AI runs entirely on your institution's hardware. No cloud. No per-student fees. Works offline on campus. Students join from any device — no installation needed.
Community colleges and vocational programs are underserved by platforms designed for large universities with unlimited IT budgets and reliable internet.
Blackboard and Canvas require constant internet connectivity. In labs, workshops, and rural campuses, unreliable internet disrupts learning every single day.
Enterprise LMS platforms charge per student, per year — pricing small vocational programs out of modern EdTech entirely. AI features cost extra on top.
Student academic records stored on external cloud servers create FERPA compliance risks. Institutions lose control of their most sensitive data.
Built specifically for STEM, engineering, and vocational programs. No modules to purchase separately.
Students ask questions in plain English. AI answers strictly from your uploaded lab manuals — not from the internet. Correct answers, every time.
Quizzes automatically adjust difficulty based on each student's real-time mastery level using Bayesian Knowledge Tracing — not just their last score.
Send questions to all students simultaneously during class. See responses in real time. Works on campus LAN — no internet needed.
Threaded peer discussion scoped to each department and semester — students only see conversations relevant to their own classes. Teachers pin, lock, and moderate. Built for accreditors like SACSCOC that require evidence of peer-to-peer learning.
Semester reports, SLO tracking, curriculum alignment, and compliance documentation generated automatically. Ready for accreditation reviewers.
Students earn verifiable certificates when they reach 80%+ mastery on a topic. Downloadable, shareable, and tied to your institution.
Assignment due dates sync automatically to Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar. Students subscribe once — updates appear forever.
All course materials, lab manuals, and resources organized by department and semester. Accessible from any device on or off campus.
Daily automatic backups to local folder, secondary drive, and USB. All student data stays on your PC — never on our servers.
Students use any browser on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop. No app installation required. Works via campus WiFi or internet.
Students, teachers, and department heads each get tools built for exactly what they need to do — not a generic dashboard everyone has to figure out for themselves.
Ask questions anytime in plain English. Answers come strictly from your institution's own lab manuals and course materials — never generic internet guesses.
Difficulty adjusts automatically to your real mastery level, not just your last score — so you're always challenged at the right level.
Scoped to your department and semester — see conversations relevant to your classes, not a campus-wide feed of noise.
Earn a downloadable, shareable certificate the moment you hit 80%+ mastery on a topic — real proof of skill, tied to your institution.
Track exactly where you stand across every course, on any device — phone, tablet, or laptop, no app install required.
Push questions to the whole class mid-lecture and watch responses land instantly — works over campus LAN, no internet required.
The AI proposes a grade and rationale; nothing posts until you confirm it. Cuts grading time without ever taking the decision out of your hands.
Draft a full lesson plan aligned to your curriculum in minutes, then edit to fit your own teaching style.
Flags where your course content doesn't yet line up with accreditation standards — before a reviewer finds it for you.
See exactly which topics the class is struggling with — by name, not just an average grade — so you know what to re-teach.
ABET/SACSCOC/TEVTA-ready compliance documentation and SLO tracking, built without anyone manually compiling a report — real institutions have saved 10+ hours per semester on this alone.
Weekly and semester reports with real engagement and ROI figures — ready to hand to a board, a funder, or an accreditor without extra prep.
Control exactly which classrooms and content each cohort sees — Mechanical Sem 3 doesn't accidentally see Manufacturing Sem 1's material.
All student data stays on your own hardware. No FERPA exposure from a third-party server, no recurring per-student fees that scale against you.
A fraction of Canvas or Blackboard's enterprise pricing — built specifically for institutions that were priced out of those platforms entirely.
No IT department. No implementation contract. No 90-day migration. Just download, install, and teach.
Run the Ilm Nova AI installer on any Windows PC in your institution. The server starts automatically.
Upload your course lab manual as a PDF. AI Professor learns from your content only — not from the internet.
Give students your institution's join code. They register from any browser — phone, tablet, or laptop.
AI Professor, adaptive quizzes, live classroom, and all reporting tools are immediately available.
No other EdTech platform combines all six of these in real time. Most use one or two.
Predicts each student's true mastery probability — not just their last quiz score.
Serves content at each student's exact learning edge — not too easy, not too hard.
Maps every question to cognitive levels from Remember through Create.
Schedules topic reviews at scientifically optimal intervals to prevent forgetting.
Certificates awarded at 80%+ — verifiable proof of achievement for students.
Strengthens memory through active recall — the most powerful study technique.
Designed for institutions that need real offline capability and zero per-student costs.

Ilm Nova AI was created by Faraz Baber, a software developer and researcher with a background in engineering education. After observing how small vocational colleges and community colleges struggled with expensive, cloud-dependent platforms that didn't fit their reality, he built Ilm Nova AI from the ground up.
The result is a platform that runs entirely on your own hardware, costs a fraction of enterprise alternatives, and is purpose-built for the way technical and vocational education actually works — with lab manuals, hands-on assessments, and students who learn best through structured, adaptive practice.
Not a general LMS adapted for technical programs — built specifically for engineering, automotive, manufacturing, and trade programs.
