Aurora EDU · For Faculty
Bring Decision Science and Responsible AI into the classroom
Aurora EDU is not an LMS replacement. It is a decision development layer that complements what you already teach by making student thinking visible through simulations, structured reflection, and longitudinal mindset measurement.
Built for entrepreneurship, leadership, strategy, management, innovation, and any course where decision-making under uncertainty matters.
Faculty-Safe Principle
Outcomes can be noisy. Thinking quality can be strengthened and assessed.
• AI used as a thinking partner, not an answer engine
• Reflection prompts engineered to expose reasoning
• Faculty authority preserved at every step
The shift: from content delivery to decision development
Most business programs are strong at distributing knowledge, but weak at measuring how students think when the information is incomplete, the trade-offs are real, and the outcome is unknown. That is exactly the environment your graduates will face.
Aurora EDU strengthens decision quality by placing students inside realistic simulations, then forcing them to explain their reasoning. This moves assessment beyond answers and into cognition: how decisions are formed, justified, and refined.
Simulation Pressure
Ambiguity, tension, and trade-offs surface what cases often hide.
Structured Reflection
Students articulate reasoning before outcomes are known, reducing outcome bias.
Longitudinal Measurement
Mindset and decision patterns can be tracked across a course or program.
How Aurora EDU fits your course
You keep your syllabus, your content, your grading standards, and your authority. Aurora EDU adds an experience layer and a measurement layer that makes learning defensible, visible, and actionable.
Baseline (ENVI™)
Students complete a mindset diagnostic to establish a starting cognitive posture.
Simulations
Students operate inside realistic business environments where decisions carry trade-offs.
Reflection & DRI™
Reflections convert experience into insight and feed the Decision Readiness Index™.
AI without cheating or faculty replacement
Many faculty want to integrate AI but do not have time to become AI experts, and they do not want tools that undermine learning. Aurora EDU is built around a single rule: AI supports thinking, not answers.
What AI is used for
- • Prompted reasoning scaffolds (not solutions)
- • Socratic questioning and counter-argument pressure
- • Decision decomposition and trade-off mapping
- • Reflection deepening and clarity enforcement
- • Modern business knowledge support in-context
What AI is NOT used for
- • Writing answers for students
- • “Auto-grading” subjective judgment
- • Replacing faculty interpretation
- • Handing out strategy templates as shortcuts
- • Creating performance illusions
AACSB alignment without becoming bureaucratic
Aurora EDU is designed so learning outcomes can be mapped and defended without turning your course into a reporting machine. The platform produces evidence of thinking development that supports Assurance of Learning.
Critical Thinking
Decision framing, assumptions, evidence evaluation, and trade-off discipline.
Ethical Reasoning
Values appear as tensions inside decisions, not as compliance checklists.
Communication
Students must explain logic clearly under constraints and uncertainty.
Reflective Learning
Experience is converted into insight with structured reflection architecture.
Where faculty use Aurora EDU
Aurora EDU fits inside almost any business discipline where decision-making and uncertainty are present. It is especially strong in entrepreneurship, leadership, management, innovation, and strategy.
Entrepreneurship
Opportunity recognition, risk logic, pivot decisions, founder judgment.
Leadership & Teams
Conflict, communication, emotional regulation, ethical tension.
Strategy
Competitive trade-offs, resource allocation, second-order effects.
Marketing
Positioning decisions, segmentation trade-offs, experimentation logic.
Operations
Constraints, bottlenecks, prioritization under limited capacity.
Capstone
Integration of decision quality across domains and roles.
Apply for Academic Access
Aurora EDU is academic-gated. Apply with your institutional email, verify eligibility, then create your account. Once approved, faculty can create courses, assign simulations and reflections, and review student work inside their own classes.
