Orpheus: an AI-supported Content Management System for Education

Building a large course programme and corresponding extensive course catalogue with 24 project partners across 15 countries is a major undertaking. It requires significant efforts from many different parties and especially teaching staff simultaneously, and coordination of tasks.

Therefore, project partner Babafla have designed, developed and implemented an AI-supported tool ORPHEUS, that supports the production of course descriptions, and does the automatic generation of course catalogues. From the raw data, collected from all course providers, a list of individual courses with their description can been automatically generated by ORPHEUS, in a EU micro-credential compliant way. Large documents can be created, in just a few minutes.

The featured picture depicts Orpheus and Euridice in the, as painted by Italian painter from the Renaissance, Jacopo da Sellaio., 1475-1480.

ORPHEUS is a very innovative tool that significantly alleviates, simplifies and reduces the administrative burden for teaching staff. It is the central course management and microcredential platform developed for the EURIDICE project. Built to support collaboration across European partner
institutions, ORPHEUS provides a comprehensive solution for cataloguing, managing, and delivering educational courses that advance digital citizenship across Europe.
