We're creating a community-first learning experience

Where the LMS feels like a digital filing cabinet, Aula feels like a great class with an engaged learning community

What does community-first learning feel like?

In contrast to the content-first learning experiences typically delivered via LMS (think downloadable PDFs and lots of slide decks), a community-first learning experience is as much about meaningful connection as it is about academic challenge.

THE PLATFORM

Deliver a truly engaging learning experience

Aula makes it easy for educators to create community-first learning experiences by combining easy-to-use technology with evidence-informed learning design.

TECHNOLOGY

Built for connection

Our technology is designed to feel like the platforms people use every day. This is why educators will tell you Aula is easy to use and improves engagement. Unlike the LMS, which buries connection 12 clicks deep, Aula was built to foster meaningful connection by ensuring that students are never more than 1 click away from their learning community.
