For students

Aria, the personal tutor every student gets.

Aria is grounded in the student's own course material, with inline citations back to the lesson. She explains concepts, generates study packs, revision sheets and quizzes — including from the student's own notebooks.

Designed to guide learning.

Aria is designed to help students think through their work with questions, explanations and feedback against the assessment criteria. Your institution sets the expectations for appropriate AI use.

You've described what the marketing mix is — but the rubric asks you to apply it. Rubric · Criterion 2

Look at your paragraph on price: which pricing strategy is your case-study café actually using, and why might they have chosen it? Try answering that in two sentences, then we'll look at promotion.

Grounding

See the sources behind course-based answers.

Aria links to supporting course material when it uses that material in an answer. It distinguishes course-based responses from general explanations, so learners and tutors can check the source.

For staff

Ask your data. Get an answer, not a report request.

Type a plain-English question — get an instant answer with an auto-generated chart. Save the question, or act on the result: turn it into cases, or into an email to exactly those students. No report-writers, no SQL.

Early warning that explains itself.

See the attendance, assessment, engagement and wellbeing factors behind a learner-support indicator. The view identifies missing information and links to a support case, helping staff decide what to do next.

Privacy by design

Learners access their own study information, institutions choose their AI providers, and access controls keep institution data separate.

Review and permissions

Changes to shared AI teaching guidance require approval. Other features provide suggestions or act within staff permissions, depending on the task.

Hosting choice

Sensitive workloads can run on locally hosted models, in your own environment or region.

Bring your own assistant

Connect your own AI assistant.

Connect a compatible AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to approved information in Pallara. Ask questions about enrolments, attendance and finance without preparing a spreadsheet first.
