  • Learners need no account

Eight kinds of lesson

Everything a course is made of, and two things only FormRead has

Mix them freely inside modules. Each type has a handful of options, not a wall of settings.

  • Video

    Upload your own file, or link YouTube, Vimeo or an mp4.

  • Audio

    Lectures and podcasts that remember where the learner stopped.

  • Slides

    A PDF deck, or Google Slides, Canva and PowerPoint Online.

  • Reading

    Write it in the editor, or let the AI assistant draft it.

  • Files

    Worksheets, templates and code to download.

  • Embed

    Bring in an interactive page from another tool.

  • Test

    A real FormRead test: online or on paper, graded for you.

    Only in FormRead
  • Session

    In person, online or hybrid, with check-in and attendance.

1 Build

Describe the course. Watch it get built.

The AI assistant sits next to the editor. Give it a topic, a syllabus or a PDF and it plans the modules, writes the readings and creates the quizzes while you watch.

  • Start from a prompt, or attach your own notes and files. It stays faithful to your material.
  • Quizzes are real FormRead tests, ready to grade, not placeholders.
  • Every change appears live in the editor and can be undone.
  • Prefer to build by hand? Drop in videos, slides and files, and each one becomes a lesson.

2 Learn

A player nobody needs explained

Learners open a link and continue where they left off, on a phone or a laptop. No account to create and no app to install.

  • A progress ring, checkmarks and one Continue button.
  • Unlock lessons in order, or open each module on the date you choose.
  • Uploaded video and audio are marked done once 90% has been played.
  • An optional AI tutor answers from your course and never gives away test answers.

3 Meet

The room is part of the course

In-person, online and hybrid sessions are lessons with a date, a place and a check-in. Put a 6-digit code and a QR code on the projector, and learners check in from their phones.

  • Checking in completes the lesson, so progress shows who was really there.
  • In a course attached to a class, every check-in is also written to class attendance.
  • Attendance taken by roll call, kiosk or face scan completes the session too.
  • For online sessions, add your meeting link and learners join from the lesson.

4 Test

Real tests, on screen or on paper

A test lesson is a full FormRead test, not a quiz widget. Learners take it online, or you print it as a bubble sheet and scan the answers.

  • Graded automatically, with AI grading for written answers.
  • Optional AI proctoring that runs on the learner's device, for exams that count.
  • Require a pass before the course continues.
  • Each learner gets a personal invite, so every attempt lands on their record.

5 Certify

A certificate anyone can verify

When a learner finishes every lesson, the certificate is issued on its own, with a public link that proves it is real.

  • Anyone who opens the link sees the learner, the course and the date.
  • Learners can print it, save it as PDF or add it to LinkedIn.
  • Signed with your name. Turn certificates off for courses that don't need one.

One record per learner

Lessons, scores and attendance, side by side

Other tools leave you joining three exports in a spreadsheet. Here you open a learner and see every lesson, test score and check-in.

The Learners tab with each learner's progress, and one learner opened to show every lesson, test score and check-in
Progress
Lessons done, last activity, and the lesson where most people get stuck.
Test scores
The score of each test in the course, straight from the test results.
Attendance
Who checked in to each session, or was present or late in class attendance.

Two ways to fill a course

Open it to anyone, or hand it to your class

A public course page with what you will learn, the syllabus and an enroll form, on a laptop and a phone

A public course page

Share one link. The page shows what people will learn, the syllabus and free preview lessons. They enroll with their name and start right away, at their own pace.

A course for your class

Attach a class from Attendance and its roster becomes the learners. New students are picked up on their own, and session check-ins go straight to class attendance.

Training a team or a private group? Keep the course private, add people by email and each one gets a personal link.

Protected media

Your videos are for your learners

Uploads are private by default. Here is exactly what the player does, and what no web player can do.

  • Private files

    Videos, audio, slides and files are never handed out as public links.

  • Links that expire

    Each learner gets a personal link that stops working after a few minutes.

  • No download button

    No download, cast or picture-in-picture in the player.

  • A moving watermark

    The learner's name moves across the video, in full screen too.

To be clear: someone determined can still record their screen. The watermark shows whose copy it was.

Built for people who teach

Teachers and schools

Trainers and companies

Onboarding, compliance and workshops with a pass mark, a record of who attended and a certificate for the file.

Independent instructors

Publish a free course with its own page and a certificate people can share. No website to build first.

Frequently asked questions

Does Courses cost extra?

No. Courses is included in every FormRead plan, with no per-course or per-learner fee. Only AI work (the assistant that builds the course and the optional tutor for learners) uses AI credits. Uploaded media counts toward your plan's storage.

Do learners need a FormRead account?

No. Learners join with their name, and an email if they want to continue on another device. Each one gets a personal link. Students of an attached class are added for you.

Can the AI build a course from my own material?

Yes. Attach a PDF, a syllabus or your notes and the assistant builds modules, readings and quizzes from them, staying faithful to your material. You see each change in the editor and can undo it.

How does in-person check-in work?

On the day, open check-in for the session. FormRead shows a 6-digit code and a QR code to put on the projector. Learners enter the code or scan the QR from the lesson, and the lesson is marked complete. If the course is attached to a class, they are also marked present in class attendance.

Can a course test be taken on paper?

Yes. Tests in a course are FormRead tests, so the choice questions can be printed as a bubble answer sheet. Scan the sheets with FormRead and the answers come back as graded attempts.

How are my videos protected?

Uploaded videos, audio, slides and files are private. Each learner gets a personal link that expires after a few minutes, the player has no download button, and the learner's name moves across the video as a watermark. This stops casual copying. Like any web player, it cannot stop someone from recording their screen.

Can I charge for a course?

Not inside FormRead today. Enrollment is free: open to anyone with the link, or private for the learners and classes you choose.

Can I run a private course for my class or team?

Yes. Attach an Attendance class and its students become the learners, or add people by email and send each one a personal link. A private course is not open to anyone else.
