Didactical

Didactical · makers of LORE

Every manual is a course waiting to be taught.

Didactical exists because the didactic method — one instructor, one lecture, one pace for everyone — does not work at scale. So we built LORE. It turns the manuals, guidance and procedures you already have into courses people listen to, answer, and get corrected on.

For training commands, universities and safety teams whose people learn on the move and are tested on the details.

How LORE works

From the document you have to a record of what your people know.

  1. 1

    Bring the document

    A manual, a guidance document, a standard operating procedure. PDF or text, up to 40 MB.

  2. 2

    LORE builds the course

    Lessons in order, with every question tied to an exact passage of the source it came from.

  3. 3

    Your instructors approve

    Nothing reaches a learner until your staff have read the draft and published it.

  4. 4

    Learners listen

    Each lesson as a podcast or a lecture, narrated by licensed voices, on iPhone or Android.

  5. 5

    They answer

    Short checks after each lesson, on the points the source says matter.

  6. 6

    LORE corrects

    Miss a question and a corrective lesson on that point plays next. Finishing earns a certificate anyone can verify.

Our first course build

OSHA 3404, Laboratory Safety Guidance

A 52-page federal guidance document, built into a complete course for a laboratory safety pilot.

Two ways to hear it

A conversation or a lecture. Same course, same facts.

Podcast · two voices

Talked through

Two hosts work through the material the way colleagues would: one explains, the other asks the question a new hire would ask. Made for the commute, the flight line and the drive between sites.

Lecture · one voice

Delivered straight

A single instructor takes the lesson in order at a steady pace. Made for review, for reference, and for people who want it plain.

Who it’s for

Built for training that has to hold up.

Department of War

Defense training

Schoolhouse and fleet training where classroom hours are the scarcest resource and the manual is the authority.

Higher education

Universities and labs

Laboratory and research safety training that students finish, with completion records your safety office can stand behind.

Industry

Safety and operations teams

OSHA-driven and site-specific programs for crews who are rarely at a desk, and supervisors who need to know who is ready.

Where LORE is today

What works now, and what we’re still building.

Training buyers get oversold constantly. Here is the line, drawn plainly.

Working now

  • Document to courseLessons, questions and corrective lessons from a manual
  • Podcast and lecture narrationLicensed professional voices, signed talent consent on file
  • Checks with course correctionA missed point brings a corrective lesson on that point
  • Instructor consoleCourses, sections, rosters, invitations and results
  • CertificatesCompletion certificates with public verification
  • Mobile appiPhone and Android, with offline listening

In development

  • Conversational examinerA spoken back-and-forth that checks understanding, not recall
  • Video and interactive formatsThe same course, beyond audio
  • Standards-traced course buildsAlignment to NAVEDTRA and DoDI 1322.26

Bring one manual. We’ll bring back a course.

A pilot starts with a single document and a small group of learners, and runs for a few weeks.
