Babeljar

There's no limit to the number of courses. With regard to the course materials we have a 'fair use' policy: if you consume outrageous amounts of bandwidth and disk storage for your courses, we'll contact you to discuss alternative options (it's generally a better idea to offer multimedia content such as videos through YouTube or Vimeo anyway, even if you display the videos inside Babeljar).

Because we're storing your courses. For that we still have to pay our own expenses even if there are currently no students.

Babeljar is based on Moodle, the world's largest learning management system. The difference between a plain vanilla Moodle installation and Babeljar is that Babeljar is especially adapted to the needs of language schools, language institutes, language teachers, and language trainers.

Technically speaking, Babeljar has a number of additional plugins to help you out with tasks such as the intake process, course evaluations, motivating students, and recruiting new students. We've also made it possible to have your students record audio and video (to facilitate pronunciation exercises, for instance).

We have made Babeljar far easier to use than Moodle, to accommodate new users. If you need full access to all features, just send us an email and we'll grant you admin user permissions. This will allow you to configure Babeljar to your heart's content.

No, it does not. Babeljar constantly keeps track of students' progress so you need to have an internet connection at all times if you're using Babeljar.

Babeljar comes with a Paypal payment option. Please send us an email if you want to activate the Paypal payment option. If you need to support other online payment solutions, such as Multisafepay (Connect only), please contact us.

In that case you get the entire code base of your Babeljar installation: database, files and source code. Internet consultancies will be able to get you up and running again in no time at all, because Babeljar is based on standard technology (the biggest learning management system in the world, Moodle).

But don't worry, we will never shut down Babeljar!

No. You decide who gets to see what in your version of Babeljar. Access is controlled through a username and password.

Yes. There are reports showing you exactly how much each student spent on each activity. In addition you have the option to use traditional grades. Some learning activities, such as quizzes or tests, can automatically assign grades.
