Frequently Asked Questions

Gamelytics is a learning and assessment ecosystem designed for the AI era. It includes LearnBuddy (personalized learning), decision-making games, and QuizBuddy video exams, all built to make authentic understanding impossible to outsource.
2. What is LearnBuddy?
LearnBuddy is an AI-powered learning studio where students generate explanations, examples, case studies, problems, quizzes, and short-answer questions on demand. It adapts to each learner’s pace, giving them exactly what they need at the moment they need it.
3. How does LearnBuddy improve learning?
Instead of relying on rigid textbooks or passive videos, students interact with dynamic content, test themselves, and explore concepts non-linearly. This creates deeper understanding and better recall while reducing dependence on AI shortcuts.
4. What are Gamelytics decision-making games?
These are interactive simulations where students make real-time decisions under uncertainty. Their learning is captured through the choices they make, not through essays or written reports AI could generate for them.

8. Do instructors need technical skills?
Not at all. Instructors choose a topic, and Gamelytics builds the game, learning module, or video exam. All tools run in the browser and work with any LMS.

Instructors provide the topic; students choose the subtopics they want. LearnBuddy dynamically generates explanations, examples, problem sets, case studies, and quizzes — all unique to each learner.
10. How are LearnBuddy, QuizBuddy, and Games delivered?
Each product is delivered as a standalone HTML file or hosted link. Instructors simply upload it to Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Google Classroom, or any LMS that accepts file uploads.
11. How do instructors grade QuizBuddy video exams?
Students submit videos or transcripts through the LMS. Instructors grade based on reasoning, clarity, structure, and communication. LearnBuddy can also generate rubrics to support grading.
12. How are games graded?
Games produce a trail of decisions, metrics, and performance patterns. Instructors grade based on judgment, logic, data interpretation, and scenario responses — not on written text.
13. Does Gamelytics store any student data?
No. All apps run directly in the browser. Gamelytics does not store, collect, or transmit student data of any kind.
14. Is Gamelytics FERPA-compliant?
Yes. Since nothing is stored or transmitted, institutional privacy requirements are inherently satisfied.
15. How secure are student video recordings?
Recordings never touch Gamelytics servers. They are saved locally and submitted through the institution’s LMS or cloud folder chosen by the instructor.
16. How much do these tools cost?
Pricing is simple and flexible. Instructors can purchase individual games or exams, while departments and schools can bundle LearnBuddy, QuizBuddy, and games at discounted rates.

Yes. Prompts, scenarios, constraints, examples, difficulty levels, branding, and time limits can all be customized for any course or program.
18. How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. You share your topic and assessment requirements. Gamelytics creates the application, tests it, and sends you a ready-to-use HTML file. You upload it to your LMS or share it with students, and the assessment is ready to go.
