Overview

The Corolair Moodle Plugin enables seamless integration of AI teaching assistants into Moodle courses, enhancing the learning experience for both trainers and learners. This plugin transforms course content into interactive, AI-powered assistants that support personalized learning.

Key Features

For Instructional Designers & Trainers:

• Create and customize AI teaching assistants directly from your Moodle courses

• Curate additional resources to improve assistant responses

• Monitor learner interactions, trending topics, and usage insights

• Adjust assistant behavior and update source materials as needed

For Learners:

• Access AI assistants embedded natively within Moodle courses

• Ask course-related questions and receive instant, AI-driven answers

• Self-assess understanding through an AI-generated question bank validated by trainers

• Pick up where they left off with a continuous chatbot experience and auto-evaluation mode

Accessing Corolair

• From the Moodle homepage: Trainers access the Corolair platform to manage existing assistants

• From each course: Trainers can create a new assistant with preloaded course resources

• For learners: Assistants are available within enabled courses, appearing as a side panel or chatbot

Installation Process

Installing the plugin automatically creates a Corolair account and generates an API key for your Moodle instance via an ad-hoc task. The account begins with a trial version, allowing one AI assistant and up to three content sources (more can be enabled later). After the trial period, Corolair becomes a paid solution. You can contact our sales team through the platform to explore a plan that fits your needs.

To grant access to Moodle users such as trainers or instructional designers, assign them the "Corolair Manager" system role (created during installation) or grant the relevant capability.

Important: For the plugin to function, your Moodle instance must be accessible over the internet. Instances that are not reachable externally (e.g., running on localhost, internal-only networks, or behind a firewall without public access) will prevent key features such as AI assistant creation and user authentication from working.

Troubleshooting API Key Issues

If you encounter an API Key issue when accessing Corolair from a course or the homepage, it may be due to a blocked ad-hoc task or a connectivity issue (e.g., an internal-only Moodle instance).

To help us investigate, visit the Corolair page via the Home or Course shortcut and report the issue. We’ll review your setup and manually assign an API key if needed—typically within one business day.
