Black Opal is an award-winning quantum education platform that enables learners to go from zero background to programming real quantum computers. Educational institutions all over the world have started adopting Black Opal as a turnkey solution to provide a learning framework for quantum computing concepts. Recently, 85% of students from The University of Hull, UK reported that Black Opal improved their overall learning outcomes!

Deploying Black Opal is now easier than ever with the launch of universal learning management system (LMS) support and enhancements to user management. No matter how you want to distribute Black Opal to learners, we have the complete quantum education solution for you.

Seamlessly connect to any major LMS platform

Black Opal now supports all major LMS standards, including SCORM, xAPI, LTI and cmi5. This means the platform is now compatible with all major LMS providers such as Canvas, Cornerstone, docebo, Absorb, Rippling LMS, and more.

No matter which LMS platform your organization uses, support for all industry standards means Black Opal can be easily offered alongside your organization’s other courses, using the learning management system you already have. For administrators, this means no new software to get approvals for, simple deployment, zero ongoing administration, and analytics that feed into your existing reporting functionality 😎.

The experience is just as seamless for learners. A single click signs users into Black Opal with their existing LMS credentials, providing instant access to the best-in-class interactive learning experience Black Opal is known for.

Deploy and manage users with ease

If you don’t want to connect to an LMS, you can still roll Black Opal out at scale using our Q-CTRL platform. Simply invite members via email or share an invite link that allows users to start learning quantum computing with a single click. 

We’ve also refreshed user management in Q-CTRL Accounts, which now supports searching and filtering member lists. Administrators can also trigger bulk actions, such as assigning or removing product access to multiple users simultaneously. 

Tailor your learning experience with custom exams and projects

Not only is Black Opal easy to deploy to hundreds of learners at once, but administrators can also customize the course experience to meet learners’ needs with projects and exams – putting your students’ knowledge to the test with real-world problems.

Projects and exams are already part of the syllabus rolled out by the Tamil Nadu Skills Development Corporation (TNSDC) in India, the first state in the world to roll out quantum computing education to all technical degree programs. Administrators were able to create custom exams and capstone projects to meet their curriculum requirements, with 83% of students passing the final exam in a cohort of over 2,600 students across 50 colleges. For TNSDC, projects and exams were critical additional learning activities that enabled them to customize Black Opal to their syllabus requirements.

Just as with the main coursework, projects and exams are also LMS compatible, providing simple access to these additional exercises with a single click. Results are automatically sent back to your learning management system for fast reporting.
