SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

idstack helps instructional designers convert LMS course data into a structured, evidence-backed manifest. It solves the challenge of manual, error-prone mapping of course structure, objectives, and assessments across systems, and ensures consistent alignment with Bloom's taxonomy while surfacing quality flags for improvement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Import from IMS Common Cartridge files to capture course structure without re-entry.
  • Paste course documents or use Canvas API to cover diverse data sources and formats.
  • Automatically map modules to task analysis, pre-classify learning objectives with Bloom's taxonomy, and generate a manifest suitable for evidence-based review.
  • Produce quality flags and structured guidance to support downstream skills like course-quality-review, accessibility checks, and learning-objectives alignment.

Quick Start

Import a course via IMSCC, pasted documents, or Canvas API, and review the generated manifest.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert an LMS course export into a structured manifest?

To convert an LMS course export into a structured manifest, import your data via IMS Common Cartridge files, pasted documents, or Canvas API. The system automatically maps modules and generates an evidence-backed manifest with quality flags and Bloom's taxonomy classification.

What is Bloom's taxonomy classification for learning objectives?

Bloom's taxonomy classification for learning objectives is an automated pre-classification process that categorizes course goals during manifest generation, ensuring consistent alignment of instructional design data mapped from your LMS course structure.

Can I use Canvas API data to map course modules?

Yes, you can use Canvas API data to map course modules into a structured manifest. This data source captures course structure, objectives, and assessments, automatically generating quality flags for instructional design review.

Does IMS Common Cartridge import support task analysis mapping?

Yes, IMS Common Cartridge import supports task analysis mapping by capturing course structure without manual re-entry. It automatically maps modules to task analysis and generates preparation artifacts for downstream course-quality review.

What are quality flags in an instructional design manifest?

Quality flags in an instructional design manifest are automated markers that surface areas for course improvement. They are generated during the LMS data mapping process to support downstream accessibility checks and learning-objectives alignment.

What's the best way to review learning objectives alignment?

The best way to review learning objectives alignment is generating a structured manifest with Bloom's taxonomy classification and quality flags. Importing LMS course data produces preparation artifacts that explicitly support downstream alignment analysis.
