An AI LMS for New Zealand universities and ITPs — built for outcomes
Vacademy gives New Zealand universities and Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics one platform for undergrad, postgrad, short courses, and micro-credentials — with NZQF-aligned outcome tracking, branded learner apps, and AI-built courses.
What New Zealand universities and ITPs tell us is broken
Existing LMS tells you what was delivered, not whether NZQF outcomes were met.
Stackable credentials and short courses require fast course production and verifiable digital credentialing — most existing platforms lag.
ITP consolidation under Te Pūkenga makes unified, modern systems essential — not 10 different deployments.
Faculty want AI tools inside the LMS — not separate ChatGPT subscriptions with compliance concerns.
