The situation
A school or college teaching online usually has structure to preserve: a course sequence that builds on itself, prerequisites that should be completed in order, and exams that need to be consistent across sections. Staff want this on the institution's own domain rather than a generic third-party page, and IT staff often ask about integration and access control before anything else.
What a school or college needs
Courses need to be able to chain into a roadmap, with one course gating the next so a student cannot skip ahead of what they have not finished, and a way to see progress across the whole path, not just one course at a time. Exams need reusable question banks, timed attempts and auto-grading so staff are not hand-marking every objective question. Classrooms need recordings and materials in one place, and the institution wants its own logo and domain rather than a shared, unbranded page. Administrators are usually also asking, early on, whether the platform supports single sign-on and whether there is an API to connect to existing systems.
How Classory fits
Classory's learning paths chain courses together, gate prerequisites, and track progress across the whole path rather than course by course. The exam engine covers reusable question banks, timed attempts with shuffled questions, auto-grading of objective questions and per-question analytics, alongside skill tests. Live classrooms include recordings, threaded discussion and inline materials, and classrooms support multiple teachers. Every workspace gets its own branded subdomain, or a fully custom domain, with the institution's own logo, colours and branded login screen. Clay, the built-in AI assistant, answers routine student questions and can generate practice questions from a bank, and CodeLoop gives a technical course a proper in-browser coding IDE with autograded problems, useful for a computer science elective or a coding club.
Progress within a learning path is visible per student across every course in the sequence, so staff can see at a glance where a student has stalled rather than checking each course separately. Gamification (streaks, brain games and leaderboards) is available for programmes where a school wants to encourage steady participation rather than relying on grades alone.
What to check first
Classory does not yet offer single sign-on (SAML or OIDC), so an institution whose IT policy requires SSO for any tool touching student accounts should confirm that is acceptable before committing. There is also no public API or webhooks yet for connecting to a student information system or other campus software, and exam proctoring is not yet a built-in add-on, so a fully invigilated online exam is not something to plan around today. There are no native iOS or Android apps yet; students use the web app in a browser. See /trust/ for the current, complete list of what is not yet supported.
How to start
Set up a branded workspace at /onboarding, no code required, and connect a custom domain when you are ready. See /pricing/ for current plans; email support is available at hello@classory.app, with priority email support on the Pro and Academy plans.
Frequently asked questions
Can we run our own domain instead of a Classory subdomain?
Yes. Every workspace can connect a fully custom domain in addition to its default branded subdomain, with SSL handled for you.
Does Classory support single sign-on for staff and student logins?
Not yet. SSO is on the not-yet list; see /trust/ for the current status.
Can a course require students to finish an earlier one first?
Yes, through learning paths, which chain courses together, gate prerequisites, and track progress across the whole sequence.
Is there a way to run coding assignments for a computer science course?
Yes, through CodeLoop, an in-browser coding IDE with autograded problems and projects. Start at /onboarding or see /pricing/ for plan details.
