Questions

Before you start

Is the free plan really free?

Yes. One course and up to 25 students with no card. When you sell, a 5% platform fee comes out of each sale. Pro at $29 a month removes the fee and opens unlimited courses and students.

How do I get paid?

Connect your own Stripe account and money goes straight to you: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App Pay and payment plans. You can add your own PayPal app for PayPal and Venmo, and take cash, Zelle or a $cashtag with a seat held while you confirm.

Can I use my existing SCORM courses?

Yes. Pick SCORM package as the lesson type and upload the .zip. Versions 1.2 and 2004 both work, and status, score and resume data are saved for each student.

Does it work with a school's LMS?

Yes, through LTI 1.3. You give the school's LMS admin the URLs on the Connect your LMS page. Learners launch your course from their LMS, and their progress goes back to its gradebook.

Can I teach live?

Yes. Schedule classes on Google Meet (the link is made for you), Zoom (meetings made on your account, attendance pulled in), any other video link, or in a room with QR check-in at the door.

Do students get certificates?

On Pro and Business, certificates issue and email themselves when a student finishes the lessons, passes the quizzes and attends the classes you require. Each one has a verify code and QR, and can expire and renew.

Can I build a course by chatting with AI?

Yes. Connect PowerLMS to Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to make a course with lessons and a price, add lessons, schedule classes, enroll people or read the gradebook. New courses stay drafts until you publish.

Is it accessible?

Student and public pages are checked against WCAG 2.2 AA with axe. Course pages and the student app can be in English or Spanish.
