R

Refund: Can I get a refund if I cancel?

Sorry, no. We ourselves need to pay for the technical infrastructure upfront, that's why.

S

Subscription plan: How do I change my subscription plan?

If you plan on adding more students than your current subscription plan allows, just send us an email and we'll upgrade your subscription plan.

T

Target users: Is Babeljar for everyone?

Why, yes, of course! Seriously though, we've seen 3rd graders (eight year olds) and older using similar systems. Trainers and teachers sometimes need a little more instruction, depending on whether they are allowed to edit courses or not.

U

Usage: How can I use Babeljar as a language school or teacher?

Babeljar is an LMS (learning management system). As such, you can use Babeljar to support the organization of learning (class enrollment, planning, intake, evaluation) as well as learning itself through educational activities.


Babeljar can be used to mix 'traditional' language learning with e-learning (this is also called 'blended learning'). You can also offer 'pure' e-learning courses where you never get to see the student (except maybe through a webcam).


Yet another option is to use Babeljar for 'flipping the classroom' which "is a form of blended learning in which students learn content online by watching video lectures, usually at home, and homework is done in class with teachers and students discussing and solving questions” according to Wikipedia.

User limit: What happens if I have more students than my subscription plan allows?

Nothing, at first. We are not going to bill you if this happens accidentally, or during a short period of time when you're adding new students before removing the 'old' ones. We do keep track however and we'll invite you to change your subscription plan if you're consistently over your limit.

W

Web address: Can I use my own web address (domain name) in Babeljar?

Yes. This involves linking your domain to the webserver (computer on the Internet) where your version of Babeljar resides. Just ask us and we'll take care of it.
