Inspark Infiniscope Center for Education Through Exploration (ETX)

Argos Is No Longer Available

Here’s Where to Access Your Courses

Throughout 2025, Inspark, Infiniscope, and the Center for Education Through Exploration (ETX) have worked with institutions and instructors to transition all lessons, courses, users, and authoring projects from Argos to our updated instance of the Torus platform, called Proton.

If you arrived at this page after trying to visit app.argos.education, that’s because Argos has been retired, and all teaching, learning, and authoring now take place on Proton.

The new platform URL is: https://proton.oli.cmu.edu

Proton and Argos run on the same underlying platform (Torus). The move to Proton simply shifts your work to a newer, fully supported instance — your course setup, LMS integrations, content, and student experience all function the same way as before.

Where Should I Go Now?

If you use an LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle):

DO NOT sign in on the Proton website. Instead, you should:

  • Go to your LMS course.
  • Click the external tool labeled OLI Torus or Proton.
  • This launch creates your Proton account automatically (if needed) and takes you to your course.

If you do NOT use an LMS: Please contact support and we will help you access Proton or set up your course manually.

Do I Need a New Account?

How Do I Create Course Sections on Proton?

The course creation process is the same as it was on Argos. Check out our KB articles for specific instructions.
