The product

One classroom, every tool. Live classes, coursework, grades and reports work together, so nothing is spread over five apps.

Run every class from one screen

Product tour

Explore the classroom. Board, polls, quizzes and replay in one room.

A board that keeps up with you

Strokes stay sharp at any zoom, and late joiners see the whole board the moment they arrive.

  • Room to keep going

    Pan and zoom without running out of space or erasing your notes.

  • Pens for chosen students

    Hand a pen to one student without opening the board to everyone.

  • PDFs and images on the board

    Drop in a worksheet and mark it up live with the class.

Between classes

The class keeps going after the call ends. Homework, reminders, news and recognition in the same place.

Homework in one place

Set work with a due date. Students hand it in online, you grade it in one place, and the marks go straight to the gradebook.

Learn more

A calendar with reminders

Plan the week's classes. Everyone invited gets a reminder 15 minutes before, in the app and by email. Sync it all to Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.

Learn more

A feed for every class

Post news and questions for the class. Students comment, and teachers can moderate what gets posted.

Learn more

Direct messages

Teachers, students and parents message each other inside ClassNest, with no phone numbers to swap.

Learn more

Certificates anyone can check

Issue certificates to students who reach the grade and attendance you set. Each one carries a code anyone can check, and you can revoke it later.

Learn more

Points and badges

Students earn points for coming to class, answering quizzes, voting, asking questions and handing work in on time.

No download: students open your classroom link or enter the room code in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) on an iPad, Mac, Windows PC, Chromebook or phone. If you allow guests they just type a name; otherwise they create a free account first.

Very. The board syncs lightweight vector strokes instead of streaming video, so it stays responsive on 3G and congested school Wi-Fi. If a student drops out, their board catches up instantly on reconnect.

Yes. Students draw only when you allow it, for everyone or one student at a time; hosts can mute anyone; and a waiting room means nobody enters before you admit them.

Attendance (with a CSV export), poll and word-cloud results, Q&A and quiz standings stay in your class history. If you recorded the class, the video is in your recordings library.

ClassNest is built for schools: connections are encrypted, meeting guests don't need an account, recordings are deleted when their retention period ends, and anyone can export or delete their account data from Settings. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Invite students to your workspace by email, then add them to courses. Automatic roster sync with Google Classroom or Canvas isn't available.
