Learnova · Interactive learning platform · Aotearoa New Zealand

Learn the theory.
Practice on real news.
Prove it on paper.

Learnova is a suite of three connected learning experiences for university courses — an interactive economics drama, a live news forecasting game, and a free CV studio — built so each one feeds the next.

Free for lecturers during pilot · One university Google sign-in across all Learnova products

48 story endings 199 economics concepts weekly real-news cycle 400 original CV templates 45 s live class leaderboard

One loop, not three tools

What each part produces, the next part uses.

This is not a concept diagram: the three products share a real data pipeline. Every finished chapter, every forecast and every CV is a learning-evidence event that can flow back to teaching.

01LEARN

Learnova Casebook

决策案卷 · interactive drama

Make economics decisions inside an immersive, multi-ending story. Every scene carries a theory panel anchored to course topics — authored by hand, with no AI at runtime.

02PRACTICE

Learnova Signals

信号 · news forecasting game

Passengers talk about this week's real finance news. Students make probability forecasts with virtual points, scored on calibration — measuring judgement, not luck — while a live class leaderboard refreshes every 45 seconds.

CV Studio

简历工作室 · free for everyone

From guided questions to an exportable CV, entirely in the browser — export is free, always. Where classroom learning becomes a first proper CV.

Lecturer tools: assigning students and content by cohort works in real time today; a dashboard folding all three products into one evidence stream is in design.

For universities

Built to sit inside a course, not beside it.

Business and economics ship first — but the engine is discipline-agnostic: the same narrative + theory-panel + forecasting structure can carry any subject's content. And one promise holds throughout: zero added workload for teaching staff, and a rebuilt line of sight between teacher and student.

The teacher promise · zero added workload

A five-minute weekly summary — instead of another dashboard

Learnova does not hand teaching staff yet another dashboard to patrol. Once a week it writes you a short brief that answers the three questions that actually change a class — read it in five minutes, walk into the next lecture already prepared.

Who is quietly falling behind? Which concept did the class collectively misread? What deserves ten minutes of the next lecture?

Course-anchored

Every scene carries a course anchor; chapters map to your syllabus — no need to change how you already teach.

Evidence out

Participation, decision paths and forecast-calibration records export cleanly, as evidence for formative assessment.

Grouped by programme

Marketing, accounting and international business cohorts each meet a storyline edition written for their programme. Grouping runs on email addresses — paste a class list and it takes effect live, with content licensed per cohort. No LMS integration project, no IT ticket, no waiting.

Second Opinion — pilot

Students choose to share an AI exchange plus their own question; classmates discuss it anonymously while you guide under your real name. For the first time, you can see how your students actually learn with AI — and step in lightly, exactly where help is needed. One click exports a university-format AI-use disclosure appendix. Safe-harbour promise: never used for integrity investigations or AI detection.

Discipline-ready

Whatever discipline the engine reads, that's the course it becomes — psychology, history and environmental science are on the design horizon.

Privacy by architecture

Minimal collection; at runtime student data has zero contact with any AI model; cohort- and institution-level isolation is enforced with database row-level security; a hosting path to New Zealand data centres is on the roadmap.

Data commitments

Four lines we hold, written for every institution.

01

Education-only use. Learning data serves teaching and assessment — nothing else.

02

No selling data, no ads. No targeted advertising, no data monetisation, ever.

03

Isolated, and deleted on exit. Institutional data is isolated per cohort and per institution (database row-level security); when an agreement ends, it is deleted on the agreed schedule.

04

No student data to AI at runtime. Stories are human-authored; news is processed by a back-office pipeline — at runtime, student data has zero contact with any AI model.

Learnova is in pilot preparation (July 2026). Numbers on this page are product facts, not usage claims. See the Privacy policy and AI transparency note.
