Engineered Specifically for Academic Institutions
Unlike generic SaaS chat widgets, AI Tutor Pro is deep-linked into Moodle's native database, auth, and course context structures.
Universal Model Freedom
You are never locked into one AI vendor. Connect to OpenAI (GPT-4o), Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, Anthropic Claude 3.5, DeepSeek V3/R1, or point to local self-hosted endpoints like Ollama and vLLM.
100% FERPA & GDPR Privacy
Protect student data sovereignty. When running with a local Ollama instance on your campus server, zero student queries or learning metrics leave your institutional firewall.
Real-Time Exam Lockdown
Preserve academic integrity automatically. The plugin checks mdl_quiz_attempts in real-time. If a student is taking an active exam, the tutor is automatically frozen until submission.
Dynamic Course & Calendar Grounding
The AI knows what course the student is currently viewing. It automatically pulls syllabus module titles, upcoming assignment deadlines for the next 14 days, and active forum discussions.
Interactive In-Chat Quiz Cards
Students don't just read passive text. The AI generates interactive multiple-choice practice cards with clickable options (A, B, C, D), real-time visual feedback, and step-by-step reasoning.
Teacher Course-Level Overrides
Professors can override the global AI persona per course. Choose between Socratic Guide, Strict Academic Professor, or Coding Mentor, and provide a custom 'Source of Truth' knowledge base.
Curriculum Bottleneck Analytics
Identify where students struggle before exams. The administrative analytics dashboard aggregates query topics across cohorts to highlight curriculum bottlenecks and high-friction concepts.
Voice Speech & Audio Accessibility
Meets WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements out-of-the-box. Built-in Web Speech API voice dictation for questions and one-click audio readout for dyslexic or visually impaired learners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, direct answers for academic technologists, LMS administrators, and instructional designers.
How does the Moodle AI Tutor integrate with my existing courses?
AI Tutor Pro installs as a standard native Moodle local plugin (local_ai_tutor). Once installed, administrators can enable a floating interactive study buddy widget that appears across enrolled course pages, or add the AI Tutor as a standard course block. It requires zero core file modifications and works seamlessly with standard themes like Boost, Classic, and Rudra.
How does the plugin ensure FERPA and GDPR student privacy compliance?
AI Tutor Pro natively supports local, self-hosted LLM endpoints including Ollama, vLLM, and LocalAI. When running on your institution's private server, student prompts, grades, and calendar data are processed 100% on-premises without ever transmitting a single byte to OpenAI, Google, or third-party cloud providers.
Can students use this AI to cheat on Moodle quizzes or exams?
No. AI Tutor Pro incorporates an automated Exam Lockdown Shield. The backend queries mdl_quiz_attempts in real-time. If a student is currently inside an active quiz attempt, the tutor automatically disables assistance until the attempt is submitted. Additionally, the default Socratic persona is instructed never to provide direct answers, instead offering conceptual hints and guided questions.
Which AI models and APIs are supported?
Administrators have complete freedom. You can connect Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet, DeepSeek V3/R1, Groq, Mistral, or self-hosted Ollama. You can also specify custom temperature, max token limits, and custom API base URLs.
Do I receive the unencrypted source code?
Yes. All Digital Tricksters enterprise software is shipped with 100% clean, unencrypted PHP, JavaScript, and CSS source code under a lifetime license with zero obfuscation or recurring licensing fees.
