Teach with impact. Prepare every learner to own their future

What is LessonUp?

LessonUp is an online teaching platform where you can find, create, and teach interactive lessons both in-person and online, while gaining valuable insights into student learning.

The real magic takes place while you are teaching. This is where LessonUp supports you in connecting and engaging with your students! Having only one screen open eliminates the hassle of switching between platforms. Our interactive features cover all phases of a lesson: from activating prior knowledge, to explaining a new topic in different ways, to assessing students’ understanding. This data serves as readily accessible evidence, deepening your understanding of each student’s needs.

Make each student feel seen, heard, and understood

Some students speak up. Others hold back. As a teacher, one of your goals is to reach every student and keep them curious, engaged, and learning. LessonUp helps you do just that. With interactive features like quiz questions, open questions, mind maps, drag-and-drop tasks, spinners, hotspots, and more, you create space for every learner to contribute in their own way.

Each interaction is captured digitally, giving you insights into understanding and classroom dynamics without putting hesitant students on the spot. You’re not alone in this. If you’re unsure how to use any feature, check out our how-to videos.

Gain insights into student learning

A remarkable benefit of LessonUp is its automatic preservation of formative assessment data. These insights are securely stored within the platform, after each assignment (results are saved in both our free and paid versions) and in the student reports, which can be accessed with a Pro or School subscription. These detailed reports offer clear insights into the progress of all learners, and help you spot misconceptions early on. All data is securely stored in one GDPR-compliant environment, helping you monitor progress and support growth.

Add interactivity to your PowerPoints

Do you have a whole library of PowerPoint lessons? They are the perfect base to create more engaging, interactive lessons with our online teaching platform. While PowerPoint wasn't created for teachers, LessonUp is built 100% around teachers' needs. All you have to do is upload your existing PowerPoint presentation in a LessonUp lesson, and then add quizzes, mind maps, drag-and-drops questions, or videos with a few clicks.
