Fikira 26.7.3: A Complete Course Spine, From Scratch

26.7.3 is signed and notarized on both Mac and Windows. Starting from just a course title, Fikira now drafts the full course map first: weekly modules, measurable learning outcomes mapped to assessments and draft program outcomes, all routed through your review before anything is generated for students. The School/Administrator dashboard is now PIN-protected and scoped to your institution, and model setup checks free disk space as well as memory, explaining the tradeoff when a lighter model is used.

What changed in 26.7.3.
Fikira now treats assessments and rubrics as first-class course design data, not as loose text added at the end of a syllabus.

Syllabus Architect foundation

Teacher Studio now builds a course-design blueprint with course identity, signature problem, signature pedagogy, numbered ILOs, module sequence, assessment plan, rubric plan, and quality gaps.

Assessment and rubric mapping

Teachers can now review ILOs, assignment names, weights, due weeks, and assignment-to-ILO links before confirming the course map. The blueprint tracks outcome-to-assessment coverage.

ProSocial course evidence

The ProSocial AI Course Design Studio now reads the blueprint and confirmed map, showing ILO counts, mapped modules, assessment task counts, rubric plan counts, and quality status.

Word syllabus export

The editable Word syllabus now includes an assessment and rubric plan with aligned ILOs, product evidence, process evidence, authenticity requirements, AI-use boundaries, feedback cycles, and rubric criteria.

Android scaffold

Fikira now has a Capacitor Android scaffold with course-code join, learner home, microlessons, flashcards, quizzes, practice checks, short practice tests, study plan snippets, and a live mobile API.

Where Fikira is heading.
The next product work focuses on dedicated rubric editing, structured lesson-plan generation, accepted ProSocial redesigns, and stronger tests with real syllabus examples.

Rubric Editor

A fuller rubric editor should let teachers refine criteria and performance-level descriptors before sharing assignments with students.

Structured Lesson Plans

Lesson plans and training sessions should use the same blueprint foundation so they do not become generic one-off chat outputs.

Quality Tests

Fikira needs regression tests using the NCL 614 syllabus and a Learning Science and AI practitioner course prompt before the next major syllabus pass.
