For Instructional Designers

Course QA used to take half a day. Compass does it in 45 seconds.

A full-course audit for Canvas — broken links, accessibility violations, missing alt text, inconsistent formatting — scanned, prioritized, and ready to fix. No admin approval. No institutional license. Just install and audit.

Free tier included · Pro unlocks all 8 CCS dimensions

Course Structure Viewer

Your entire Canvas course outline at a glance. Modules, items, sequencing rules, and publication status — all visible without clicking into each module individually.

Module Health Check

Broken links, unpublished items, missing content — flagged automatically. Stop discovering problems the day before a course goes live.

Course Standards Alignment

All 8 Compass Course Standards dimensions mapped against your course. See where you're aligned, where you have gaps, and what needs attention before your next review.

Cross-Course Consistency

Compare structure across multiple courses at once. Ensure consistent module naming, content organization, and navigation patterns across your course portfolio.

Gap Analysis Reports

Know exactly what's missing before launch day. Exportable reports you can share with stakeholders, subject matter experts, or your course review team.

AI Course Review

AI-assisted course review and copyediting powered by your own API key. Your content goes directly from your browser to your AI provider — BYOK, always.

Does this work on my Canvas? Can I install it without IT?

Yes, and yes. Compass is a Chrome extension you install directly from the Chrome Web Store — no LTI integration, no IT ticket, no administrator involvement required. If you have Designer or Teacher access to a course in Canvas, Compass can audit it.

Compass reads course structure you're already authorized to see. It doesn't modify courses, submit data on your behalf, or require any Canvas API credentials beyond your existing session. It works on any Canvas institution — yours included.

For AI course review (Pro feature), you bring your own API key. Your course content goes directly from your browser to your AI provider — Bridge & Harbor never processes it. Full security details →
