Zoom alternative for training academies

A training academy often teaches in Zoom and keeps the course, the roster, and the certificate somewhere else. knewr is a Zoom alternative for that work: the live class runs inside the academy account, with unlimited attendees and attendance recorded for the session.

Overview

The class, the course, and the certificate stay together

A Zoom alternative for a training academy is a place to teach live without sending the cohort to a separate meeting tool. The class, the learners, and the lesson stay on one account.

knewr runs that class itself. There is no dependency on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. A session can include a Teacher, a Co-Teacher, and an AI Copilot Teacher. The room includes screen share, a highlighter and annotation, participant controls, Zen Mode, and breaks. Live chat can suggest replies for the teacher. Attendance and presence are recorded automatically. In the same class, the academy can run a test that knewr generates and scores.

The rest of the academy stays attached. Courses can be created with AI assistance from material the academy already has. Learners can use a branded app on iOS and Android. When a learner finishes, knewr can issue an automated certificate. That certificate is an academy credential. It is not a license, and knewr does not decide whether anyone meets an outside requirement.
