INTRODUCING VOCAREUM ATLAS

Build real-world learning experiences in minutes, not months.

Use natural language prompts to create interactive experiences where learners move from guided scenarios into real tools, labs, decisions, and assessments.

From sales-call simulations and customer-support role-plays to healthcare scenarios, data science workflows, and cybersecurity incidents, Atlas is built for every kind of real-world practice.

SECURE DEPLOYMENT, BUILT IN

A chat model can draft a simulation — but then you’re hosting it, wiring up the LMS, and handing out API keys. Atlas publishes it straight to your course: hosting, rosters, and grade passback handled, with every model call routed through Vocareum’s AI Gateway — budget-capped, key-free, auditable.

Vocareum AI Gateway

Every model your courses need.
No API keys in the wild.

One gateway to OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and more. Learners and apps call models through Vocareum — admins decide which models, set the budgets, and see every request.

Providersconnected once
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic Claude
  • Google Gemini
  • Amazon Bedrock & Azure OpenAI
  • Open‑source & custom Llama, your deployments

Swap or add models without redesigning labs or courses.

Vocareum AI Gateway

Every request, four controls.

  • 01
    Keys — stay here

    Provider API keys live in the gateway — never in learner, instructor, or app environments.

  • 02
    Policy — which models

    Allow or restrict models per service with policies you define.

  • 03
    Budget — what it costs

    Rate limits and spend caps by user, course, or cohort. Keys expire on schedule.

  • 04
    Visibility — what happened

    Org-wide usage and spend in one dashboard, down to the request.

Raw provider keys never reach the user.
In the Lab

A learner opens a lab. The key is already there — scoped, budgeted, expiring.

One key, many models — pre-populated in the work area.

  • Agentic AI Labs & AI Notebook
  • Custom labs & applications
  • AI Assistants & Assistant Builder
  • Faculty & research groups

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

PLATFORM & CAPABILITIES

What is the difference between Vocareum and simulated learning environments?

The difference is what learners actually touch. Simulated environments imitate real tools with mock interfaces or pre-recorded screens, so the skills don’t fully transfer. Vocareum instead provides real, production-grade cloud environments, agentic AI workspaces, and IDEs (like VS Code and Jupyter). Learners execute actual code and live cloud commands in isolated, governed containers or cloud accounts — so what they learn applies directly to real-world engineering work. You can still build guided, scenario-based experiences on top of this infrastructure; the environment underneath is always the real thing, never a mock-up.

Vocareum ensures cost predictability through hard budget caps, policy guardrails, and automated resource teardowns. Administrators can set precise dollar limits per learner or per assignment. If a learner hits their cap or leaves a session idle, Vocareum automatically suspends the cloud resources (AWS, Azure, GCP) to prevent runaway billing.

Every learner on Vocareum receives a strictly isolated, per-learner container or dedicated cloud account. We use a governed execution layer that ensures strong data privacy, security, and performance consistency, even when scaling to tens of thousands of concurrent users.

AI & AGENTIC CAPABILITIES

The Vocareum AI Gateway allows institutions to provide learners with access to leading foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Amazon Bedrock) without exposing raw API keys. Administrators manage all model access, set usage budgets, and enforce security policies from a single centralized control plane.

Yes. Vocareum’s Agentic AI Labs are pre-configured to support real IDE-to-agent-to-cloud workflows. Learners can build, test, and deploy agentic workflows using tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Amazon Q directly within our browser-based developer workspaces.

Yes. Build with Claude Code or any tool you like, bring the app to Vocareum, and we deliver it to your learners at scale — authentication, resource management, and governed AI access included.

Vocareum’s AI Compass is a faculty-configurable, Socratic AI tutor. It is grounded strictly in the instructor’s course materials and rubrics. Instead of handing learners the answers, it provides contextual hints and adaptive guidance based on the learner’s actual code execution, ensuring academic integrity while scaling personalized support.

INTEGRATION & ECOSYSTEM

Vocareum integrates natively with all major LMS platforms via LTI 1.3 (and LTI 1.1). This includes plug-and-play integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace.

Yes. Vocareum supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0. For enterprise and EdTech partners, Vocareum provides a robust REST API that allows you to fully white-label the lab experience and embed it natively within your own proprietary platform or product interface.

Vocareum provides governed, direct-console access to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Databricks. We support both Vocareum-managed accounts and Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) architectures.

ASSESSMENT & VALIDATION

Yes. Vocareum supports advanced auto-grading through custom Bash scripts, API endpoints, and AI-assisted grading. The platform can automatically validate code output, check cloud infrastructure configurations (like verifying an AWS S3 bucket was created correctly), and sync the grades instantly back to the parent LMS.

Yes. Vocareum is engineered for global enterprise and academic compliance. The platform is GDPR compliant, FERPA compliant, and meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
