Demo look: AcademyLearning platform for Joomla
Klass
A complete learning platform that runs inside your Joomla site. One package covers course delivery, assessment, selling, staff training, schools, learning standards and reporting.

Who Klass is for
Klass serves people selling courses, organisations training their staff and schools from the same install. It ships with six demonstration setups, one for each way it is used.
Companies training staff
Departments and teams, seat packs, required training by role or team, reminders, escalation to line managers, recertification and compliance reports.
Demo look: EnterpriseSchools
Academic years and terms, classes, subjects, timetables, registers, continuous assessment and examination scores, report cards and guardian access.
Demo look: CampusHealthcare providers
Mandatory training kept current, certificates that expire, training by role, practical sessions and compliance by ward.
Demo look: CareCharities and community programmes
Volunteer training everyone must pass, group workshops with attendance, and free courses with badges.
Demo look: CivicUniversities and departments
Modules with semester groups, live lectures with attendance, essays marked against rubrics by teaching assistants, registration by approval and peer review.
Demo look: PrestigeIndependent instructors are served across all of these. They can apply to teach on a Klass site, build courses in the studio, work with a course team and receive a share of what their courses earn.
Everything in one package
No separate shop, quiz or certificate extensions to assemble.

- Catalogue with search, filters and a language filter, and course pages with the curriculum, instructor and free preview lessons.
- Open enrolment, enrolment by approval, fixed-term access, and cohorts with seats and a closing date.

- A learner area with a resume card, stats, current courses, deadlines in a calendar and a private calendar feed.
- Lessons unlock in order, by date, after enrolment or after prerequisites. Notes are saved with the video time.
- Video watching tracked for self-hosted files, HLS, YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny Stream, Mux and Cloudflare Stream.

Questions about Klass
Can I install Teragen extensions on client sites?
Yes. Every Teragen extension is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later, so there is no limit on the number of sites.

No. The download key in your Teragen account is only used by Joomla to fetch updates. The extensions work fully without it.
What does the support renewal cover?
After the first year, $50 every six months renews support and access to updates. If you stop renewing, the version you have installed keeps working.

Payment is taken through Flutterwave's hosted checkout. Prices are in US dollars.
