Introducing CourseKit: Free Tools Built for Working Instructional Designers
The launch story behind CourseKit: three practical tools for course pre-review, accessibility triage, and question-bank cleanup, built from real instructional design work.
The tools:
- →Alt-Scan: Upload PDFs, DOCX, and PPTX files. Get a per-image report of missing alt text, with page or slide location, decorative-image detection, and tagged-PDF checks. What used to take hours of manual checking takes seconds.
- →Question Bank Formatter: Paste or upload a messy question bank. Clean it up in-browser, then export for Respondus Standard Format or Akindi-ready upload. Supports multiple choice, true/false, matching, and more.
- →Course Analyzer: Upload a Canvas IMSCC export. Get a visual breakdown of course structure, workload distribution, accessibility checks, and QM-aligned readiness signals.
