What you can review

Paste it, or drop in the file you already have.

Pedagrade reads the instructional design in your course's text: the objectives, content, activities, assessments, and the accessibility they describe. Whatever you build in, there's a way in.

These formats are for a full review. Check while you design takes pasted text: paste each lesson or section as you write it, or check a selection right inside Word or Google Docs.

Checking existing files for accessibility? Course files takes Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and course exports (.imscc or a .zip of files). The finished SCORM, xAPI, or cmi5 zip goes to Finished course or Playtest.

Paste
Any text
Design documents or storyboards, scripts, transcripts, and outlines, straight into the box.
.docx
Word
Body text, tables, and text boxes, the way design documents or storyboards are actually built.
.pptx
PowerPoint
Every slide's text plus the speaker notes.
.pdf
PDF
Exported courses and design documents or storyboards.
.zip
Finished course
A published SCORM, xAPI, or cmi5 zip. Upload it in the Review tab in Word or Google Docs, or at app.pedagrade.com/built. Pedagrade checks it for the LMS and for accessibility (alt text, captions, interactions a keyboard can’t use). Rise is read in full; for plan drift, Storyline needs its translation export.
.zip
Playtest
The same LMS zip, played by a test learner start to finish: every slide, the quiz, and what your LMS heard. Storyline, Rise, Captivate, iSpring, any SCORM, cmi5. At app.pedagrade.com/playtest. How it works
.xlf
Articulate export
Storyline and Rise translation files (XLIFF), the full course text.
.imscc
LMS course export
The whole course from Canvas (Settings, then Export Course Content), Brightspace (Import/Export/Copy Components, then Export as a package), or Populi (Course, then Settings, Common Cartridge). Every module in order: pages, assignments, discussions, quiz questions with their answers, and attached PDFs, Word files, and slides. Pedagrade shows what it read before the review.
.gift
Question bank
A quiz or exam bank exported from your LMS as GIFT or Aiken (Populi, Moodle): every question with its answer key, so a randomized bank is checked as a whole.
.txt .md
Text & Markdown
Plus JSON and XML for structured course exports.
Building in Articulate Storyline or Rise?

You don't need the .story file. Export the course text in a couple of clicks:

StorylineFile → Translation → Export, as Word or XLIFF
RiseExport the course's translation file (XLIFF)

Drop the file in and Pedagrade reviews the whole course. It reads the text, so it doesn't need your visuals, and Pedagrade never sends your course to any outside AI company.
