What Nova 5 is, plainly
Nova 5 is instructional design to the power of AI: the world's most powerful language, video, voice and vision models, plus the best of learning science, reinforced by live learner feedback, grounded in the education standards of your market.
The result is a fifth level of eLearning: contextual, emergent, culturally competent, live, tracked formative learning, delivered at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.
Nova sits above the frontier by design. We specialise the world's best models for learning rather than training our own, so every time the frontier moves, Nova moves with it, and it learns from delivery too: live learner feedback retargets competency gaps and sharpens what engages. The capability iterates, 5 now, 6 and 7 to come, and everything you build on it gets better without re-platforming.
Trust decides everything in education, and it is earned in delivery. Nova is built by Supahuman, experts in applied AI for education, trusted by the sector, and engineered to its compliance standards: NZQA and ASQA expectations, copyright, and data management.
The world's best models can hold a conversation. Nova 5 knows how to turn that into practice that teaches.
Real behaviours of the engine, not a roadmap
Everything below runs in production with education and training providers across Australia and New Zealand. The proof is not a roadmap or a benchmark: it is real, specific, and live enough to open in another tab.
Role plays where an AI persona plays the counterpart by voice, in character, against clear session objectives, with feedback the learner can ask for in the moment.
A personal AI coach one tap away on every activity: voice and chat, formative, guiding rather than grading, always patient.
Simulations, sim games and branching scenarios that respond to what the learner does, with consequences that compound and a debrief that traces outcomes back to the theory.
Narrated video, whiteboard lessons, chaptered lectures and audio explainers in the provider's chosen voice, with transcripts for accessibility. Voices matched to the market.
Reads source material like an instructional designer: identifies the concepts worth turning into practice, with a rationale and a priority for each.
Contextualisation as a first-class act: describe the client or cohort in plain language and every activity is re-set into their world, live in minutes, while the proven learning design underneath stays intact.
Maps every experience to the underlying outcomes and competencies. Coverage is evidence, not assertion.
Revisions in plain language, no authoring tools. Ask for the change in a sentence and Nova rebuilds it.
Mock assessment feedback: a learner uploads a test or mock assessment and structured formative feedback lands in their inbox within minutes, criterion by criterion. Formative only, and the assessor still makes every competency decision.
Runs anywhere from a single link: no accounts, nothing to install to get started. On a phone it installs as an app in two taps. SCORM and LTI 1.3 for organisations that live in an LMS.
Every space opens with a narrated welcome generated for that provider: their name, their tone, their voice, refreshed automatically as the content grows.
Companion guidance for the people around the learner, matched to context: parents and whānau for a school-age learner, workplace mentors and employers for an apprentice.
Cultural competency engineered into generation: a per-country cultural baseline, the organisation's own cultural profile, and their Acknowledgement of Country honoured verbatim.
How is this different from asking a chatbot to make a course?
A frontier model is optimised to be broadly helpful. It can write a lesson and set a quiz. It is not, on its own, an instructional designer, and it does not deliver a live, multimodal experience. Nova is the engineering that closes both gaps.
Analyses source material the way a learning designer would: what is worth turning into practice, why, and in what order.
A judgement call wants a role play. A risky procedure wants a simulation. An explanation wants narrated video. Twenty types, never a default quiz.
The AI plays the counterpart by voice and coaches in the moment. The difference between a generated asset and a delivered experience.
Practice with feedback, judgement-free, built to grow capability rather than grade it. Progress is a skyline that rises, never a mark.
A coherent path from learn to practise to apply, flexing for mixed ability, language and literacy, industry context, and the people around the learner.
Pitched against real education standards, mapped to competency, AI-reviewed before it ships, with a human at the design gates.
Why it is worth doing: formative practice, deliberate practice and situated, experiential learning are among the most evidence-backed drivers of real capability. They were also the least scalable, because high fidelity meant high cost. Nova makes the most effective kind of learning the most scalable kind.
The twenty activity types
Every activity Nova can build, what each one is for, and what it costs in credits. Nova chooses the type for the concept; you can always override it. Organised into the learn it, try it, show it arc.
Credits are the build cost per activity. Voice role play and coach usage carry fair-use minutes on every plan.
