Atlas do Conhecimento
The student's personal, pseudonymous space to see their own journey. Progress along four dimensions, curated routes, stamps, a diary, a concept constellation and a motivational compass — no rankings, and k-anonymity throughout.
Project Description
The Atlas do Conhecimento (Knowledge Atlas) is the student’s personal space to see, revisit and celebrate their own learning journey across the CEDIS ecosystem. The metaphor is cartographic: the student is an explorer, knowledge is a continent with thematic regions, every deck read is a destination and every concept a star. The passport holds stamps, the diary holds memories, the compass suggests paths — but never dictates.
The Atlas is not a learning management system: it hosts no content, grades nothing, issues no certificates. It also has no ranking, no leaderboard, no public comparison between students. A student arrives from the Learning Passport through a secure handoff with a one-time code, and what they see there is theirs alone.
Project Objectives
- show pedagogical progress along four dimensions — exploration, practice, consolidation and reflection — without collapsing everything into a single score;
- reward milestones with stamps that never reset or expire, and offer optional expeditions with no penalty for giving up;
- give the student a transparent reading of their own motivation, with full control over collection;
- comply with the LGPD natively: unlinking erases the journey, and export is always available.
Resources and Features
Map (/mapa): routes become territories, decks become destinations, and rings around each destination show the 4D progress in that deck. Routes (/rotas): thematic paths curated by the teacher, with completion requirements. Stamps (/carimbos): twelve by default, with monotonic progress. Diary (/diario): a timeline of automatic entries and reflections the student writes. Constellation (/constelacao): an interactive graph of the concepts already touched, with relations coming from
Concept Studio
; each star’s colour tells whether the concept was mentioned, practised or consolidated. Compass (/bussola): an Octalysis motivational profile, explicit opt-in, switchable off at any time. Next steps (/proximos-passos): plain-language recommendations from five transparent heuristics — no machine learning, no black box. Settings: export all data as a readable ZIP and unlink from the Passport, with cascading deletion.
Teacher admin. Inside the
Deck Manager
, under /admin/atlas/*, the teacher edits routes, stamps and expeditions and consults the class dashboard. Every aggregate is k-anonymous (K = 5): no bucket with fewer than five students is ever shown as an absolute number.
How events arrive. Reading a slide, answering an activity or writing a reflection produces an event in Slides; an ingest service consumes it and the Atlas updates counters, stamps and signals. Typical latency: about thirty seconds.

Latest news about this product
CEDIS presents the CEDIS Ecosystem: six products, one journey from content to insight
Deck Manager, Slides, Concept Studio, Atlas do Conhecimento, Learning Passport and Learning Analytics now form an integrated family, with its own visual identity and privacy by design, to turn content into learning experiences.
CEDIS Learning Analytics: the whole ecosystem's data becomes pedagogical evidence — with privacy by design
The cross-cutting layer of the CEDIS Ecosystem gathers the signals from Slides, Atlas and Concept Studio into a pseudonymised, k-anonymous warehouse. Ingest and API are in production; the teacher dashboards are under construction.
CEDIS Learning Passport: a learner identity with no e-mail, no national ID, and under the student's control
Created from a twelve-word phrase, the Passport records a student's journey across the whole CEDIS Ecosystem without storing any personal data — and leaves the decision to share or erase with them.
Atlas do Conhecimento: the student sees their own journey, with no ranking and without revealing who they are
Map, routes, stamps, diary, concept constellation and motivational compass: the personal, pseudonymous space where each student follows their learning journey in the CEDIS Ecosystem.
CEDIS Concept Studio: concept maps, AI with human review, and questionnaires inside the class
The teacher's semantic studio organises a course's concepts into versioned maps, accepts AI suggestions only with human confirmation, and turns the map into practice questionnaires that reach students through Slides.
