Highlights of School Teachers' Feedbacks

"It’s difficult to find a product that allows students to learn AI continuously at home. Empowered by Una, students can participate in the online lesson interactively and collaboratively. It is surprising that students can even test the coding result through a Raspberry Pi remotely. As a teacher, I appreciate that the lessons provide clear learning objectives and comprehensive design of assessments so that we can review what students have learned. Like!"

“Una lessons are also well-paced and offer different levels of difficulties for students with different coding abilities. This platform provides great freedom for students to demonstrate their creativity and programming ability on the Challenge page. All students’ works are collected onto the same platform, which becomes very convenient for teachers to manage and follow up on their work.”

“It is easy and convenient to upload my own teaching content onto Una. Una helps students to study in groups that cater to individual learning diversity.”

FAQ

If I already have my own micro:bit teaching materials, can I simply apply for the free basic plan?

Absolutely!

Are teacher accounts subject to fees?

As of May 2021, Una Virtual Classroom has waived fees for teacher accounts. When a customer subscribes for every set of 25 student accounts, they will be granted a complimentary teacher account with an equivalent subscription plan, intended for lesson preparation purposes.

Is there an option for a monthly subscription?

No, we prefer not to offer a monthly subscription option as we do not wish for schools to have to alter their established teaching schedules.

Can a single account be shared among multiple teachers or students?

No, each account is intended for individual use by one teacher or student. All users must register with an email and login via a third-party account or a one-time password.
