Sunday evening is yours again.
The promise
In the time between two lessons.
Upload your own material — as a file, as text or as a link. Out comes a curriculum-anchored unit with learning text, quiz, exercises and interactive videos.
Most tools for schools administer. They file, they assign, they remind. What never comes out of them is Thursday’s worksheet. learn starts at the other end: you decide the shape, the machine does the work.
Three outputs
Material, learning path, lesson plan.
What comes out is decided going in. The three forms cover where preparation time actually goes.
Material
Learning text, quiz, exercises, video unit. The thing that ends up in a pupil’s hand or on the screen.
Learning path
A route with a diagnostic at the start, branches by level, staging posts and a closing task. The class works through it at its own pace.
Lesson plan
The shape of a lesson — phases, social forms, material per phase. Built from the kit or derived from an existing path.
Where the material comes from
The curriculum and open sources.
Search runs across the Austrian Eduthek, open educational resources and the official school-leaving exam papers — filtered by school type, year, subject and provider.
Eduthek, OERSI, PhET, Serlo, Wikimedia Commons and the official question pool — searchable in one field.
Anchored to a curriculum point rather than a keyword. The reference is printed on the sheet.
Official standardised exam papers with worked video solutions, searchable by subject, competence and format.
The curriculum
Official, verbatim, across all school types.
The 2023 curriculum for primary, lower secondary and academic secondary schools, plus the curricula for commercial, technical and vocational upper secondary schools. Years one to thirteen.
Not paraphrased but verbatim — and stating which curriculum applies. Where none is on file for a subject yet, it says so; “curriculum to follow” is a more honest label than a quietly plausible text. Schools running their own curriculum can add it.
One rule holds it together
The source stays the source.
Eduthek and the original providers remain the origin and the rights holders. learn builds around it: search, structure, exercises, quiz, guidance and the shell of the learning path.
That is not legal caution but the reason the result can be trusted. A system that rewrites other people’s material and presents it as its own takes away your ability to check where something came from — and that is exactly what you need when an exercise does not work in class.
Every piece of material therefore carries its licence and its original link, right into the app on the phone.
What else is in it
Nine things from the handbook.
The handbook is organised by role: part A for teachers, part B for pupils, part C for administrators. A selection:
Studio and kit
Assemble a lesson plan or a self-study path from parts instead of starting over each time.
Video units
A video, a topic or an upload becomes a lesson with questions in the right places.
Visualisations
Diagrams from text, over forty types, plus generated images — for the one picture that explains it.
Working together
A group board and simultaneous editing of the same material. With colleagues, not only with the class.
Quality check
A seal that comes before assignment to the class. Required, not offered.
AI chat and tools
Three modes and a set of quick helpers for the small jobs in between.
Hand it to the class
Assign, collect submissions — and export as a SCORM or LTI package for an existing learning platform.
Classes and co-teaching
Access by code, one class looked after by several teachers.
Account and privacy
Password, export, deletion — in one place and without asking us.
Next door
And in the classroom: school.
school is an application of its own for the school day — timetable, class register, marks, absences, assignments. Material from learn can be assigned to a class there with one tap.
Linking is a deliberate action, not a default: anyone who only needs learn uses only learn. And anyone who only needs school needs no learn account — the curriculum and open material are built into it anyway.
A boundary in the build
No machine assessment of pupils.
learn produces material. It does not assess people, does not forecast learner outcomes and does not build personality profiles.
Marks and submissions in the school are entered by the teacher — the app works out a class average and shows who still has something outstanding. That is administering what a human judged, not automated judgement. The difference is not linguistic: automated assessment of learners falls under particularly strict rules in Europe, and a tool that offers it on the side shifts that burden onto the school.
When the AI functions are used, the content entered goes to an AI provider. For pupils this runs over a European route. No tracking, no advertising, one technically necessary session cookie.
If you need machine-generated analytics about individuals, learn is the wrong tool. We would rather say so now than in your impact assessment.
Common questions
From the staff room.
Which curriculum is loaded?
The Austrian one, across all school types: the 2023 curriculum for primary, lower secondary and academic secondary schools plus the curricula for commercial, technical and vocational upper secondary schools — years one to thirteen. You can add your own.
Can you tell the material was machine-made?
If you put nothing in: yes. If you make your own material the starting point: considerably less. In the end it is material you review and change — and the quality check comes before assignment anyway.
Can we get this into our existing learning platform?
Yes. Units can be exported as SCORM or LTI packages and run in Moodle and comparable systems.
What happens to the data in the school?
In basic mode it stays on the device. What is exchanged with learn you exchange deliberately — linking is an action, not a default.
What does it cost to start?
Starting learn is free, with a monthly allowance for the AI functions. You sign in with a link by mail, without a password and without a credit card. The school is free in local mode.
Are we allowed to use this in class?
For a teacher preparing material: yes, that is your lesson preparation. It gets sensitive once learners work with the system themselves — which is what the separate European route is for.
