Mobile: Can I use Babeljar on a mobile device, such as a phone or a tablet?

Yes. Babeljar's design is completely "responsive", as they call it in technical terms. This means the content adapts to the size of the screen. However, if you use external content (e.g. scorm packages or lti content), then it really depends on the external provider.

Monthly fee: Why do I have to pay a monthly fee during the holidays when all my students are away?

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

Moodle: What’s the difference between Moodle and Babeljar?

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).

Moodle: Where are all the buttons, links, and menu options that I see in the Moodle documentation?

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.
