Licensing and access control
Keep each institution inside a defined access period, user cap, and stage scope.
Walter Method Learning
MOAD is being built as a licensed platform, not a downloadable course pack.
This app is the first foundation for the MOAD SaaS. It is designed to keep the framework centrally owned while allowing institutions to launch students through Moodle, secure links, or later LTI 1.3.
What this foundation is meant to prove
Stage and activity engine
Deliver the four-stage pathway through structured sections, activities, rules, and unlock conditions.
Automated feedback
Use rule-based responses first, then add AI only after the core platform is stable.
Institution reporting
Show engagement, completion, drop-off, repeated attempts, and exportable management views.
Core platform principles
- Walter Method Learning owns and controls the framework centrally.
- Institutions receive licensed access, not a permanent content handover.
- Moodle acts as an access point, while MOAD remains the delivery and reporting environment.
- Automation reduces labour in onboarding, progression, feedback, and reporting.
The four MOAD stages
Stage 1
Epistemic Orientation
Students learn what academic work is designed to cultivate and evaluate.
Orientation to academic tasks, feedback, reading, writing, assessment, and judgment.
Stage 2
Analytical Control
Students learn to govern arguments structurally.
Argument construction, evidence evaluation, conceptual clarity, and movement beyond description.
Stage 3
Synthetic and Disciplinary Thinking
Students learn to engage disciplinary conversations and frame problems.
Synthesis, source conversation, problem framing, and knowledge-structure awareness.
Stage 4
Independent Epistemic Judgment
Students develop claim ownership, methodological responsibility, and boundary awareness.
Independent contribution, academic positioning, and responsible judgment.
Current implementation sequence
Phase 1: foundation, roles, tenancy, dashboard shells
Phase 2: activity engine for checkbox, MCQ, and short text
Phase 3: progression, gating, and stage completion logic
Phase 4: institution reporting, export, and licence enforcement
Phase 5: secure launch links first, then LTI 1.3
