Hey, I'm Victor

Instructional Design Consultant at FIU Online. I've spent 7+ years helping faculty build online courses and managing large course portfolios each semester. I built CourseKit because I got tired of doing manually what a tool could do in seconds.

CourseKit is an independent project built from my experience at FIU Online — it is not an official FIU product.

Why I Built CourseKit

Every semester at FIU, I manage dozens of online courses. That means checking hundreds of documents for missing alt text before accessibility deadlines, analyzing course structures for QM-aligned readiness signals, and formatting test banks for Canvas import, all by hand.

The existing tools were either too expensive, too clunky, or required uploading sensitive course materials to third-party servers. So I started building my own. Course Analyzer and Alt-Scan run in the browser. Question Bank Formatter keeps pasted text local and uses temporary server-side extraction only for uploaded PDF and DOCX files. File contents are not stored after processing.

These aren't theoretical tools. Every feature exists because I needed it at my desk, during a real semester, with a real deadline.

What Makes This Different

Real work

Built from actual ID workflows, not theory, not startup guesses.

Private by default

No accounts. Browser-first where possible. Uploaded Question Bank Formatter files are discarded after temporary parsing.

Free

Open to feedback and tool requests. Free for the ID community.

What I'm Exploring

These are ideas I may build next, not shipped features or a committed roadmap.

  • Canvas Live Scan: A direct Canvas workflow that would remove the export step if I can make it reliable and worth supporting
  • Course Diff: A way to compare two course versions and quickly spot what changed between semesters
  • Lighter faculty workflows: Smaller review and cleanup flows that are easier to use outside a full ID handoff
