More about Aula

Aula is the Learning Experience Platform, we enable educators to make every learning experience truly engaging.

Traditional platforms like Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard end up being used like digital filing cabinets. Educators dump their PDFs and slides while students simply consume the content.

Aula is community first. Communication is front and center, content is secondary. Students and educators are always one click away from human interaction.

We mainly work with universities with a high proportion of first generation, mature and remote students.
