What your academy can do now.
Every capability we ship, in plain terms — what it lets you do, and where it lives. The fastest way to try any of these is to ask your connected Claude: it can hand you a one-click link straight into the page.
-
Find any staff member or student — search, filter, and open the record
Your Staff and Students pages now land on the directory itself, with search and filters across the top and every row a link into the full record. Filter staff by location, role, and status; search students by child, household, or guardian; and add a household or enroll a student without leaving the page.
- Staff opens on the directory, not a create form — the "start a staff file" form is tucked away until you need it. Search by name or email, and filter by location, role, and status (Active, On leave, Former).
- Every staff row opens that person's full file — employment, role and location, credentials, clearances, training, documents, reviews.
- Students search by child, household, or guardian, and each name opens the student record. Add a household or enroll a student from the buttons at the top.
- On a multi-location academy, Location shows in the staff table and scopes the student roster.
-
Acknowledge a policy or take a course from your work list
The work list your staff open at sign-in now carries everything assigned to them in one place — training, policies to acknowledge, and courses to take — as a single list with what it is, when it is due, and the action to take. A policy opens to read and acknowledge; a course opens to take and submit.
- One unified list — Assignment, Type, Due, Status, Action — instead of separate cards; training, policy, credential, document and review work all sit together, sorted by what is most urgent.
- A policy row opens the policy to read, with a single check to affirm it was read and understood — recorded against that staff member.
- A course row opens the course to take — read the lesson, answer the knowledge check, and submit for grading.
-
Pick your location once, and it holds across every page
If your academy runs more than one location, the location selector now sits at the top-right of the header on every page your staff work from, and your choice holds as you move between Campus, Staff, Students, Classrooms and Tours — pick a campus once and the whole surface stays scoped to it until you switch back to all locations.
- One selector, top-right in the header, the way a region control sits — always in view, on every page that can be scoped to a location.
- Your choice carries across pages, so you are not re-picking the campus each time you move between Staff, Students and Classrooms.
- It appears only where it does something, and only for a leader in a multi-location academy; a single-location academy sees no chrome.
-
Take attendance on the classroom seat map
Take each room's daily attendance right on its seat map — the children shown in their seats, a tap on a child cycles present, absent, then late. A running count of who is present, absent, and marked updates as you go, and any child not on the chart is listed underneath so everyone gets marked.
- Open a room and its seat map is already there — the children laid out in a default seating plan, no setup required. Rearrange it to match how the room really sits from the seating chart whenever you like.
- Tap a child to mark them present, tap again for absent, again for late — the same tap wherever you are, on a phone in the room or at the front desk.
- A room with no seat chart still lists its full roster, so attendance always works.
- The live summary shows present, absent, late, and how many of the room are marked, so you can see at a glance who is still to check in.
- Reach it from your dashboard — a "Take attendance" quick action, and each room under "Classrooms today" links straight to its own attendance.
-
See each room's staffing and ratio on your dashboard
Your leadership dashboard now breaks the day down by room: how many children and how many staff are in each, and that room's adult-to-child ratio, with any room that is over ratio called out. School Today also shows how many classrooms are open and how many have a staffing issue right now.
- A "Classrooms today" list for a director — each room's children, staff on, and ratio, with an over-ratio room flagged.
- For a head of school, the same per-room staffing and ratio sit alongside the executive enrollment breakdown.
- School Today gains two counts — classrooms open (rooms with staff) and staffing issues (staffed rooms over ratio) — so a leader sees where to look first.
- A room with nobody scheduled reads "no staff scheduled" rather than an alarming empty ratio.
-
Manage a training from your dashboard — due dates, reminders, certificates
Open a training straight from your leadership dashboard and run it from one place: set or change its due date, send a reminder to just the staff who still owe it, and see who has earned the certificate — without leaving the dashboard.
- Set a due date on a training and it shows for everyone assigned; change it and the change carries to their lists.
- Send a reminder to only the people who have not finished — nobody already done is nudged.
- See who holds the resulting certificate at a glance, beside completion.
-
Switch between your locations from the top of the dashboard
If your academy runs more than one location, your leadership dashboard now carries a location switcher at the top right of the header. Pick a location and the whole dashboard — enrollment, staffing, attendance, what needs attention — reloads for just that site.
- The switcher sits in the dashboard header, the way a region control does, instead of a row of tabs — so it stays out of the way and scales to as many locations as you run.
- Choosing a location reloads the dashboard scoped to it; your numbers are always for one site at a time, never a blurred total.
- A single-location academy sees no switcher, and nothing changes.
-
A social media manager for your academy — compose, schedule, and post
Your academy's social posting is now a board your staff work from: compose a post, choose which channels to deploy it to, and schedule it or post it now, with everything moving through a pipeline from draft to posted. You set up your channels, connected accounts, and a standing marketing brief once from the console.
- A compose-schedule-post board on Campus — write a post, pick the channels, and schedule it or send it now.
- Set your channels and connect your accounts once in the console, with a standing marketing brief every draft is grounded in.
- Who can set up channels versus who can compose and post is controlled by role.
-
Sign in with a passkey — and a sign-in screen that leads home
Add a passkey to your account and sign in on your academy's screen with your face, fingerprint, or device PIN — no password, no waiting for an email. And your academy's logo on the sign-in card now takes a visitor back to your homepage.
- Set up a passkey from Account & settings → Security; from then on "Sign in with a passkey" appears on your academy's sign-in screen.
- It works wherever you sign in — your academy screen, the console, and the pocket app.
- The logo on your sign-in card now links back to your public homepage, the way a site logo normally does.
-
Leadership dashboards you can act on
Your dashboards now make outstanding work unmistakable: a clearer "Needs your attention" list, a staff-training summary that separates on-track from overdue, an Upcoming list of what a leader actually follows up on, and a recent-activity feed that records training assignments.
- "Needs your attention" leads with a specific status (Overdue, Due soon) and a Due column, with color used sparingly.
- Staff training opens with a summary line — percent current, in progress, and overdue — above the per-training detail, and overdue training shows the moment a deadline passes.
- Upcoming gathers training deadlines, credential expirations, new-hire start dates, and staff meetings, soonest first.
- Assigning a training now appears in Recent activity, so a leader can see who was assigned what.
- School Today reads as one compact operating line — who is present, staff on, and the current ratio.
-
Leadership dashboards that read at a glance
Your CEO and Education Director dashboards open with the numbers a leader actually needs — a compliance health read, training completion, and what needs attention — with classroom enrollment shown against capacity and a recent-activity feed of real school activity.
- A Compliance card that reads as organizational health: your policy-acknowledgment rate once you track policies, with credentials expiring soon called out (credentials stay available in the compliance area).
- An Education Director now opens on their own at-a-glance KPI row — what needs attention, training completion, compliance, and today's staffing.
- Enrollment by classroom shows current against capacity with a utilization bar; set a room's capacity to see it fill in.
- Recent activity shows real school moments — who started or finished a training, acknowledged a policy, or had a credential recorded — and stays out of the way when there is nothing to show.
- A tidier top of page: the duplicated attention card is now a one-line summary above the detailed list.
-
A more polished header and hero on your website
Your public site header keeps its menu on a single clean row, with Apply and Sign in paired in a ribbon at the top-right in your academy's own colors. Your hero now carries one consistent headline style across every slide, with a word in each picked out in your third brand color.
- The menu reads as one clean row, and each item stays on a single line whatever font you have chosen.
- Apply and Sign in are paired in a header ribbon — Apply as a filled button, Sign in outlined in your third brand color; on a smaller screen the menu collapses to one button while both stay in view.
- Every hero slide now shares one uppercase headline style in your display font, so the slides read as a set rather than each looking different.
- One word in each hero headline is picked out in your third brand color, and the intro label above it sits on a soft white background with a matching accent so it reads over any photo.
- Buttons and the hero's intro label are squared for a crisper look.
-
Put your real family reviews on your website
Feature genuine, consented family testimonials on your site. Add your families' own words to the reviews block, mark each one consented, and bring it online — only consented reviews are ever shown.
- Every block on a page now shows whether it is live or still a draft, so nothing you have added stays hidden without you knowing.
- Bring a single block online on its own, or publish the whole page to bring all of its blocks live at once.
- Reviews stay trustworthy — a testimonial appears only when it is marked consented.
-
Sign in with a password, if you prefer
Your team can now sign in with an email and password on your academy sign-in page, in addition to the emailed magic link. The link still works exactly as before — a password is simply an option for anyone who would rather not wait for an email.
- Email and password signs you in directly; leave the password blank to get a sign-in link by email.
- Set up staff with a password so they can sign in without chasing a one-time link.
- Passkeys (Face ID / fingerprint) and magic links keep working alongside it.
-
Leadership dashboards — each role signs in to what they need to run the school
A leadership member now lands on a dashboard built for their role instead of a shared page: an operational view for a director — what needs attention across staff, and the trainings they oversee — and an executive command center for a head of school, with an organization snapshot (enrollment, admissions, training, credentials and tuition health) and the handful of exceptions that need a leader.
- Each leadership role lands on its own view at sign-in — no hunting for the right page.
- A "Needs your attention" list: who owes training or has a clearance expiring, most urgent first.
- For a head of school, an organization snapshot plus an "executive attention" summary of what is off-track.
- What each person sees follows the access they hold, not a fixed page.
-
Set a third brand color, and choose your academy's fonts
Your Brand page now takes three colors — primary, secondary and tertiary — all checked for readability, and lets you set your typefaces: pick a display and body font from the library (Montserrat included), or upload your own licensed font and have it served on your site.
- A third brand color, contrast-corrected like the first two; two-color academies are unchanged.
- Choose your fonts from a vetted library, or upload your own (with a license confirmation).
- Set it on the Brand page or just tell your Claude; your public site and staff screens follow.
-
A cleaner console — grouped, collapsible navigation
The console side menu is now organized into collapsible sections you can open and close, with the section you are in opened for you, so every page is easy to reach without a long scroll. On a phone it opens as one tidy menu.
- Sections collapse and expand; the one you are working in opens automatically.
- Collapse the whole sidebar to a slim icon rail when you want more room.
- The same menu on desktop and phone, with breadcrumbs showing where you are.
-
Add your own images to your website
You can now upload photos and banners to your site yourself and use them in any block — a hero image, a classroom photo, a promotional banner. Upload from the new Website images page, or just ask your Claude, then drop the image into a page.
- Upload from Growth → Website images, or hand a file to your Claude to place for you.
- JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or SVG, up to 2 MB; each image is kept for your academy only.
- Once uploaded, use it in any website block that takes a picture.
-
A light theme for training — and re-theme a published deck without rebuilding it
Training can now render on a light background: pick the new Light theme so staff read dark text on white in a bright room. And you no longer have to rebuild a deck to change its look — revise a published deck, choose a different theme, and publish again. Your narration is kept.
- A new Light theme with high-contrast text for the training player.
- Change a published deck's theme in place: Revise → pick the theme → Publish.
- Re-theming never re-records or drops your narration audio.
-
Directors and school leaders land on their own dashboard
When an Education Director, CEO or Admin signs in, they now open a leadership dashboard instead of the individual learner view — your published trainings with how many staff are assigned and how many have finished, and a Review action to open any training and read it through.
- The first screen a leader sees is their trainings and staff completion, not their own to-do list.
- Open any published training with Review to page through its slides, checkpoints and exam.
- A review never counts as an assignment: it does not touch their own training list, their completion percentage, or earn a certification.
- Works on a laptop or a phone, so a leader can pull a training up in the room or in front of an inspector.
-
Make the training text bigger
A learner who finds the slide text too small can now enlarge it in the training player. The A- and A+ controls step the reading size up or down, and the size you pick stays set for the rest of that sitting.
- A- / A+ on the player, reachable by keyboard as well as by mouse.
- The size you choose carries across slides for the rest of the session.
- At the largest size, a content-dense slide scrolls so no line is cut off.
- Nothing about the training changes — only how large it reads.
-
Your website footer shows social logos, not just words
The social links in your public site footer now appear as the recognizable platform logos — Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and TikTok — so a family spots them at a glance instead of reading a column of words.
- Each link records which platform it is, so the right logo shows no matter what the link is labeled.
- Add a TikTok link and it appears with the TikTok logo alongside the others.
- A link to a platform we do not have a mark for still shows, with a generic globe.
-
Take a narrated training at the speed you read
Every narrated training now carries a speed control on its audio bar — 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x or 1.5x. The speed you pick stays picked for the rest of that sitting, so a fifty-slide training does not drop back to normal on every slide.
- Four speeds on the narration bar, reachable by keyboard as well as by mouse.
- Your choice carries across slides for the rest of the session.
- Narration still starts on its own when a learner arrives on a slide, exactly as before.
-
Correct what a slide says out loud, after it is published
When a slide's wording changes, its narration can change with it. Ask your Claude to correct a slide's script and it will save the correction and — if you say so — re-record that one slide in the voice the rest of your deck already uses.
- One slide is re-recorded, not the whole deck.
- The old recording comes off the slide the moment the script changes, so a learner is never told something the slide no longer says.
- Re-recording runs on your own AI key, so we ask before spending it rather than deciding for you.
- Nobody part-way through is interrupted or moved, and completions already earned stand.
-
The training portal is built for the person taking the training
Your staff no longer see the account-setup notices meant for you while they are in a module. Checkpoint answers are large, tappable rows that respond as they are touched, the way back to the slides stays in view, and where a training is narrated the spoken script can be read underneath it.
- The player runs on the learner's own shell — no owner-only setup banners over their academy's header.
- Answers respond the moment they are touched, with a running count of how many are answered.
- The spoken script is readable under the player wherever a slide is narrated.
-
A learner finishes and holds the certificate
Finishing a training now ends on the credential it earned — your mark, their name, the credential, the dates, the score against the pass mark, and the code anyone can verify it with. They download their own PDF without asking an administrator for it.
- The certificate appears on the completion screen rather than being something to request.
- Download the PDF from the certificate itself.
- It is the same document your console issues, with the same verification code.
-
Ready-made roles: an IT person who cannot see the money
Your Roles page now offers two roles you can create in one click. IT Administrator covers keys, Claude connections and your own AI provider keys — with no access to tuition, invoices, payments or your 1EDU bill. Bookkeeper is its opposite: the money, with no ability to mint a key.
- Each card shows what the role can do and what it deliberately cannot, before you create it.
- What you create is an ordinary role of yours afterwards — rename it or change what it reaches whenever you like.
- Your Claude can create one too; just ask for a ready-made role.
- Everyone in a role you define still stands on the standard staff footing, which includes filing incident reports.
-
A seating chart for every room, with the children's faces on it
See your room laid out as it really is — every seat, every child, their photo on the seat they sit in. Drag a child from the side onto a seat, drag one child onto another to swap them, and fill the empty seats in one go.
- Big enough to actually read: the whole chart fits your screen, with each child's photo and name on their seat.
- Three lists down the side that always add up — who has no seat yet, who is waiting for a space in the room, and who is only in today.
- Drag to seat, drag one child onto another to swap them, click a seat twice to free it up.
- Keep a standing plan for the room and a separate picture of today, so a one-off change never overwrites how the room normally sits.
- Add a photo to a child on your roster once and it appears everywhere you need to recognize them — a supply teacher can tell who is who on their first morning.
- Photos and names never leave 1EDU. The seating platform only ever knows that "somebody" is in seat B3, never who.
-
Your school's whole website now lives here
Not a profile page — the actual website, at your own address. Pages you choose, built from the same blocks throughout, with your inquiry and application forms coming straight to you and your search-engine settings per page.
- Served at your own address — yourschool.1edu.app, or your own domain once it points here.
- A menu that follows your pages: group them, order them, and leave a page out of the menu without taking it down.
- Forms that reach you — inquiries, tour requests, applications and employment interest all arrive in 1EDU rather than an inbox nobody watches.
- Per-page titles and descriptions for search engines and shared links, so a page you care about is not summarized by whatever Google finds first.
- A pre-launch password holds the whole site behind one screen while you build it: real address, real content, invisible to families and to Google until you are ready.
-
Your website is now something you can just ask for
Your school's website is built from pages, and each page from blocks — a hero, a grid of values, a quote, a form. All of it can now be read and changed by asking your Claude, so adding a page no longer means asking us to do it.
- Ask for what you want: "add a page for our summer program", "put the tuition table above the FAQ", "take the staff page down until we have new photos".
- A new page starts as a draft that only your school can see. It goes public when you say so, and you can take it down again without losing the work.
- Your Claude can list the blocks available and exactly what each one needs, so it builds pages from the real library rather than guessing.
- A block written in the wrong shape is refused with the reason, instead of quietly appearing as an empty band on your site.
- Testimonials must say whether the family consented, and an unconsented quote never appears — nobody can add praise to your site that a family did not give you.
- Building the website is its own permission: you can let the person who runs your site do exactly that, without also handing them your domain settings, tuition or staff files.
-
Your colors are yours to set — and there are more than two of them
Set your academy's colors yourself on the Brand page, without asking anyone. Two colors are still all you have to give: everything else is worked out from them and checked for readability. But if your school already has a design system, the rest of the palette is now yours to say.
- Give two colors and get a complete, legible interface — that has not changed, and is still all most schools need.
- A school arriving with its own design system can now set the neutrals, the dark grounds and the washes as well, instead of accepting ours.
- Every color is checked against a readability floor before it is used, so a pale brand color never becomes text nobody can read.
- Set it on the Brand page, or just tell your Claude — both write the same thing.
-
The sign-in screen is your school's, down to the wording
Your staff no longer sign in to a page that says 1EDU. It wears your logo and your colors, says which academy it is for, and the two lines of copy on it are yours to write.
- Your mark and your colors, with the academy named — someone who works at two schools can tell which one they are signing in to.
- Two lines you control: a subtitle under the academy name, and a note under the button.
- That note answers the question families actually arrive with. By default it says plainly that parents and guardians do not need an account — because entering an address that is not a staff member returns the same neutral answer either way, and nothing ever arrives.
- Replace it with whatever suits you: an office number, opening hours, or who to call.
-
Give a role what it needs without making someone an administrator
A role can now carry named areas of responsibility of its own. Your IT person can rotate an API key without also holding tuition, payroll, staff files and the power to remove colleagues — which, until now, was the only way to give them that one thing.
- Compose a role once from named responsibilities — the staff directory, credentials, the calendar, API keys, the website — and it applies to everyone in that role, including every future hire.
- It only ever adds. Composing a role can never quietly take something away from the people already in it.
- You can only hand out what you hold yourself, so nobody can grant themselves upward.
- Naming your roles and deciding what they can reach are separate permissions on purpose: keeping the org chart tidy is a different job from deciding who can see the money.
-
You can now say how far a role reaches — not every job needs to see everything
When you name a role, you can say whether it belongs to the day-to-day running of the school or whether that person just does their own work and what you hand them. Until now every role your academy named got the same reach as a lead teacher, whatever you called it.
- Pick it when you add a role, or change it later on the "Your roles" page — or just tell your Claude "our summer youth staff should not be seeing incident reports".
- The day-to-day reach covers the room, school materials, training, credentials and incident reports — because the person in the room is the one who writes the report.
- The narrower reach is for seasonal help, contractors, volunteers and anyone who should not be reading about children.
- Changing it changes it for everyone already in that role, and the page tells you who moved — you never have to go and update them one by one.
- Anyone whose access you set individually on their own record is left exactly as they are; a change to your org chart never quietly undoes a decision you made about one person.
- Administrator access is still given to a PERSON, deliberately and one at a time. It is not something a role can carry.
-
The person setting your academy up is no longer counted as one of your staff
Whoever gets an academy running on 1EDU — a consultant, a founder, someone from our side — is now recorded as PROVISIONING it rather than working there. They keep the access they need to finish the job, but they hold no role on your org chart, so nothing you require of your staff is aimed at them by mistake.
- Your roster now says "provisioning this academy" where a job title would be, instead of showing them as a head of school who does not work for you.
- Requirement sets, trainings and clearances written for a role no longer reach them — they are not in the role.
- Giving a provisioner an actual job is refused with a question rather than done quietly: have they finished, or are they joining you properly?
- When the academy is ready to run itself, record the handover — ask your Claude "who is provisioning us?" and then "hand the academy over to Dana". It puts on the record who took it on and when.
- A handover is a permanent record, not a status that can drift: who handed over, to whom, on what date, in whose words.
-
Your staff can finally see why they have a training, and when it is due
The page a staff member opens at /me is now a proper list of their work: what is outstanding, what they are part-way through, what they have finished, and the certifications they hold — as a table with the things a working adult actually needs, including the reason it landed on them and the date it is due.
- Every row says WHY: "because you work in the Infant Room", "because you are a Teacher", or the requirement set that names it. Your rooms have different requirements, and now the person standing in the room can see which of theirs applies.
- You can put a due date on a module when you assign it — ask your Claude: "assign the safe sleep module to the Infant Room, due the 30th." Anything past its date is flagged in red, counted at the top of their page, and sorted to the front.
- When a training is dated by two rules at once — a deadline you set and a standing requirement for their role — they see the earlier one, and the page names the rule that set it.
- A module they cannot open yet now says what would open it, instead of just showing a padlock.
- Each row shows what the training actually involves — how many slides, how many checkpoints, whether there is a final exam — so someone can tell a five-minute read from a proper sitting. We do not print a minute estimate, because we do not have one and a wrong one gets planned around.
- Built for a phone: the same list reads as cards on a handset, so it works standing in a classroom.
- Ask your Claude "what does Dana still owe?" and you get exactly what Dana sees — same rows, same reasons, same dates.
-
Know when someone left the exam
For a training whose certificate gates something real, you can now ask that the assessment be taken in the training window. If a learner switches to another tab or another app while a checkpoint or the final exam is open, they get a short notice when they come back, and it is counted beside their score on your results view.
- Off unless you ask for it, per training: right for a graded exam, noise on a reference deck. Ask your Claude — "record it if someone leaves the infant room final exam."
- The learner is told before they answer anything, and the notice on their return is matter-of-fact — it says the assessment is meant to be taken here, not that they have done something wrong.
- On your Learners table it reads plainly: "Left 6 times · about 4 minutes away in total", beside the score rather than folded into it.
- It is a signal to ask about, not proof. A phone beside the laptop leaves no trace, and a learner whose browser told us nothing shows as "Not reported" — an unknown, never a clean record.
- Optionally offer full screen when an assessment opens. It is an offer: staff can decline it, and leaving full screen is not counted against anyone.
- Nothing about this stops a learner or changes a score. Passing, certificates and completion are exactly as they were.
-
Set up the roles your academy actually runs on
Before you assign anyone a role, say what roles your academy has. Keep the 1EDU ones that fit, write your own for the rest — CEO, IT Tech, Education Director, Summer Youth — and give each one a description of what it is responsible for. Your chooser then shows your academy, not a generic list.
- Your own roles sit alongside ours; you decide which of ours you actually use.
- A role you no longer need can be retired — and if anyone still holds it, we tell you exactly who before anything changes. Nobody is ever moved for you.
- Ask your Claude to set the whole set up in one go: "our roles are CEO, Education Director, Teacher, Assistant Teacher, IT Tech, Admin and Summer Youth."
- Naming a role does not grant anything on its own — what a person can see and do is still set on them, deliberately.
-
Look back through a training — and decide whether a test is open-book
Staff can page back through material they have already covered, and reopen a training they finished to look something up weeks later. What they cannot do is jump ahead: a module is only complete when the steps are actually done.
- Finished a training and need to check a detail? Open it and read back through the slides — it does not affect your completion or your score.
- Failed a checkpoint? The button that tells you to review the material now takes you to it.
- While a checkpoint or final exam is open, the slides are closed by default — the exam is testing what someone retained.
- If a particular training should be open-book, turn that on for that module: "let staff check the slides during the safe sleep quiz."
- Nothing can be skipped. No setting lets a learner reach the end without doing the work in between.
-
Narration plays as the learner arrives on each slide
On a narrated module the audio starts by itself and stops when they move on, so nobody has to press play on every slide of a seventy-minute course. The player is small enough to leave the slide the room it needs.
- Turn autoplay off per module if a training is meant to be read rather than listened to.
- A learner who prefers to read can mute for the rest of their session.
- Some browsers refuse to start audio until someone clicks — when that happens the play button is shown clearly rather than the audio just not arriving.
-
Your staff training portal looks like your academy
The logo and colors on your academy profile now carry through to the screens your staff actually see — the sign-in page, their training list, the module player and their certificate — so training reads as yours rather than as generic software.
- Set your logo and colors once on your academy profile; every staff-facing screen follows.
- Colors are adjusted where they need to be so text stays readable — a pale brand color will not make a training unreadable, and we tell you when we have adjusted one.
- No logo yet? Your academy's initials stand in, so the portal is never unbranded.
-
Anything your Claude makes for you now lands in your academy
When you ask your Claude to design, draft or diagram something, it hands the file straight to 1EDU and attaches it to what it is about — a change request, a document, a room, your academy. It stays yours, in your academy's own storage, instead of living inside one conversation.
- Ask for a mockup of a screen you want changed and it arrives attached to your request, so our team can open the design you had in mind instead of asking you for access to it.
- Works for anything: a draft policy, a workflow diagram, a spreadsheet export, a screenshot of something that went wrong.
- Your files keep their original name and are never overwritten — a second version sits beside the first, not on top of it.
- Everything handed over stays private to your academy. Nothing becomes a public web page, and nothing is published anywhere outside 1EDU.
- Already have a file sitting on an old website or someone else's drive? Your Claude can pull it into your academy's own storage in one step.
-
Decide what every role must complete — and name your own roles
Write down, once, what a person in a given role has to finish — trainings, documents to read, acknowledgements to sign, credentials to hold — and everyone who joins that role receives it automatically. You define the sets; the platform applies them.
- Build a set per role: "every infant room teacher completes safe sleep, reads the handbook, and signs the acknowledgment." New hires in that role get the whole set the moment they are set up.
- Name the roles your academy actually uses. If you have a lead teacher, a floater, or a bus driver, add them — you are no longer limited to a fixed list.
- Preview before you commit: see exactly what a new person in a role would receive, and apply a set to the people already on your roster.
- Ask your Claude to build one for you — "set up what every new infant room teacher has to complete" — or work through the Requirements page yourself.
-
Assign training by room, not just by job title
Your rooms are now part of the platform. Set up your Infant, Toddler, Pre-School and After School rooms, put staff in the rooms they work in, and assign training to a room so only the people in it receive it.
- Staff can belong to more than one room — a floater covers three, and gets what all three require.
- Assign a course or a module to a room by the name you actually say: "Infant Room".
- Add someone to a room and they pick up that room's required training automatically, without you re-running anything.
- Rooms carry your own vocabulary — age bands like "Mixed Age 3-5" and labels like "Floater" are yours to write, not a fixed menu.
-
New staff can ask for access; you approve in one click
Share one link with a new hire and they start their own account. The request lands in an approval queue, and approving it sets them up completely — sign-in link, onboarding, and everything their role requires.
- No passwords, ever — approving sends them a sign-in link, the same passwordless way everyone else gets in.
- During an onboarding week, several people can request at once and you approve them as you get to it, instead of keying in each one.
- A role someone claims for themselves is only ever a suggestion — you decide what access they actually get.
- Ask your Claude "who is waiting for access?" and approve from there if you would rather not open the console.
-
Know the moment someone finishes a training
Training completion can now come to you instead of you going to look for it. Choose who should be told when a staff member finishes — a director, a room lead, or a specific address — and the message arrives with their name, the training, their score and the date.
- Set it once for the whole academy, or per training when a particular course needs a particular person told.
- Built for the moment it matters: when a training is the gate before someone takes their first solo shift, you hear about it rather than checking a dashboard.
- Tell your Claude "email me whenever anyone finishes the infant room training" and it is configured.
- Notifications go out as your academy, from your own sending address when you have connected one.
-
Fix a slide or a quiz answer yourself
Correct a typo, reword a slide, change an answer option or adjust a passing score directly in the Learning console — no AI session needed for routine upkeep of a module you already published.
- Reword a slide or a question and nobody mid-training is disturbed — they carry on exactly where they were.
- Add or remove a slide and anyone who already passed that section is brought back to re-read it, so nobody misses new material.
- Raising a passing score never un-passes anyone who already cleared the old one.
- Building a new module is still a conversation with your Claude — this is for the small corrections that come up as your policies change.
-
Read your uploaded documents in the page, and host your own logo
Uploaded files — posters, handbooks, schedules — now open and render inside 1EDU instead of downloading, and your academy logo can be uploaded or imported rather than linked from somewhere else.
- Click a document and read it where you are; download it when you actually want the file.
- An uploaded file is kept exactly as you gave it to us, and comes back byte for byte.
- Upload a PNG or SVG logo — or import the one you already have hosted elsewhere, so your academy page and your certificates stop depending on somebody else's server.
-
Take your own assigned training from your dashboard
Directors and administrators are staff too, and are routinely assigned the same training as everyone else. Your assigned modules now appear on your dashboard with a button that opens them.
- Start or continue a module straight from the overview — no separate sign-in, no hunting for a link in your inbox.
- Hand any staff member a working link to a module they are assigned: ask your Claude to "send Dana her infant room training link" and it goes out ready to open on any device, with no login.
-
Post to LinkedIn — from your academy, your assistant, or your Claude
Share your academy's story on LinkedIn without leaving 1EDU. Connect your LinkedIn once (you approve it on LinkedIn's own site, in your browser), then draft posts and stage them on a pipeline board — drafts, scheduled, published. Drafts never publish anything; putting a post live is always a clear, confirmed step.
- A pipeline board on the Social console: drag a draft to Scheduled and pick the date and time, or drag it to Published to post right now — each move asks you to confirm before anything goes public.
- Describe the post and let the platform draft it for you, in your academy's voice — then edit before you save.
- Your dashboard assistant drafts posts on request ("draft a LinkedIn post about our open house") — every draft waits for your approval, and nothing publishes until you stage it.
- Fully driven by your Claude too — once your Claude is connected to your academy (Console → Connect Claude), just ask: "draft a LinkedIn post about our book fair and schedule it for Friday at 9am." It can check what's connected, draft the copy, edit wording or timing, schedule or post now, and confirm delivery.
- Posts publish as the LinkedIn profile you connect, and scheduled posts go out automatically at their time.
-
Run your academy on your own web address
Point a subdomain you own — like academy.yourschool.com — straight at your 1EDU academy, so families visit your address and see your academy, with your logo and colors. You add one DNS record; we handle the secure certificate.
- A self-serve page shows the exact DNS record to add and checks when it's pointing to us.
- Your academy keeps working at its 1EDU address the whole time — no risk in setting it up.
- One button hands it back to us to finish the secure setup, usually within a business day.
-
Create printed children's books — by talking to Claude
Make print-ready picture books with your academy: add your illustrations and words, lay out the pages, and get an Amazon-KDP PDF plus a polished online reader — and a Library section on your public page that shows every book you've published. The whole thing is driven through your Claude: see all your books by category, open one, build it, and edit any page, just by asking.
- A real picture-book reader and a print-ready KDP PDF (with a share QR and ISBN barcode) — professionally typeset, not a rough draft.
- Every book you publish appears in a Library on your public academy page, ready to read.
- Fully driven by your Claude: "show me my books" lists them by category, then open one, build it, or edit a single page — its words, its illustration, its layout, its order.
- Nothing is ever lost — every image and line of text is inventoried and kept, whether or not it lands on a page.
-
Your academy's documents, through your Claude
Ask your Claude what enrollment and consent documents your academy uses — enrollment agreement, media consent, field-trip permission, emergency contact, handbook acknowledgment — and it can define new document types for you on the spot. The document lifecycle runs on the platform; your academy's definitions stay yours.
- Ask "what enrollment documents does my academy have?" and your Claude answers from your live catalog.
- Define a new kind of document (and its section structure) just by describing it to your Claude.
- Completed and signed copies are kept privately for your academy — never mixed with anyone else's.
-
Your student roster, in one place
Every family and enrolled student now has a home in your console — grouped by room or grade, with guardian contacts and statuses. Add a family, enroll a student, or withdraw one right from the page; the heavier work stays a conversation with your Claude.
- See your whole community grouped by room, with headcounts at a glance.
- Add a family, enroll a student, or withdraw one right from the page.
- Guardian contacts sit with each family, ready when you need them.
-
Publish policies and track who's read them
Your governing documents — safeguarding, code of conduct, acceptable-use — publish here, assign to the staff who must read them, and show who has acknowledged versus who still owes. An opt-in weekly reminder nudges only the stragglers.
- Publish a policy and assign it to everyone or a specific role.
- Track acknowledgment — who has read it, who hasn't — at a glance.
- Turn on a weekly reminder that nudges only the people who still owe.
-
Your team sees only what their role allows
Your console is now organized into labeled sections — People, Team, Program, Operations, Money, Governance — and each teammate sees only the ones their role permits. A single Settings page gathers your team, their roles, your AI connection, and the tokens that connect Claude.
- The console is grouped into labeled sections; each role sees only its own.
- Manage your team, their roles, and access from one Settings page.
- Your AI key and Connect-Claude tokens live there too — never shown after saving.
-
Families can pay tuition online
Your invoices can now carry a secure pay-online link. Connect your school's own payment account once, and every bill you send gives the family a card-payment button — the money lands in your account, and the invoice marks itself paid.
- One-time setup: connect your school's payment account from the Payments page.
- Each invoice you send can include a pay-now link — no more chasing checks.
- Payments are per-school: your funds settle to your account, not ours.
-
See your whole academy at a glance
The Command Center pulls enrollment, tuition, staffing, compliance, and giving into one state-of-the-academy view — and turns that same picture into a board-ready PDF you can hand to your board or funders.
- One dashboard across every module — no spreadsheet stitching.
- Generate a polished board packet PDF in a click, current as of today.
- Ask your Claude for "the state of the academy" and it reads it straight to you.
-
Run your grant pipeline — and draft with AI
Track every grant from prospect to awarded, with the reporting deadlines that come after. Your Claude can draft a full application against a live, PII-free snapshot of your academy's real numbers — so the narrative is grounded in fact, not guesswork.
- A grant pipeline that carries its own compliance calendar once awarded.
- AI grant-writing pulls from a factual evidence pack, never invented figures.
- Donor campaigns and year-end giving statements live here too.
-
Certificates, recognition, and success stories
Earned certifications now print as branded, verifiable certificate PDFs with a public check page. Alongside them, you can celebrate your team's milestones and capture the academy's wins as published success stories — ready for grants, accreditation, and your public page.
- Every earned certification can render a printable, verifiable certificate.
- A recognition wall surfaces staff milestones and lets you give kudos by hand.
- Success stories double as grant evidence and accreditation self-study.
-
Schedule rooms, and check the calendar for conflicts
Book rooms and events on a shared academy calendar that catches double-bookings before they happen — ask for any week's agenda, or check a room and time window for a conflict, right from your Claude or the calendar page.
- Conflict detection is automatic — a clashing booking is refused with the reason.
- A week-at-a-glance agenda across every room.
- Rooms are defined once and reused across bookings.
-
Daily attendance and adult-to-child ratios
Take daily attendance in a couple of clicks, and check your adult-to-child ratio for right now or any moment in the day — the compliance number licensing asks for, computed from your shifts and attendance instead of a clipboard.
- Attendance is idempotent per student per day — mark it twice, no duplicates.
- A ratio check reads your staff shifts against present children, live.
- Daily roll-up counts are one question away for your Claude.
-
Staff files, clearances, and hiring
Keep each staff member's HR file — credentials, clearances, reviews — in one place, with a radar that flags clearances before they expire. And run open roles through a hiring pipeline from applicant to hired, with a warm acknowledgment as they move.
- Assemble a staff member's whole file in one view.
- Expiring-clearance radar tells you what lapses next, before it does.
- A hiring pipeline moves candidates stage by stage and reads the funnel.
-
Plan curriculum against your accreditation standards
Build units and courses, map each to the accreditation standards it covers, and read a coverage gap report that shows exactly which standards still have no evidence behind them — the homework done before the accreditation visit, not during it.
- Map standards onto a unit or course with your Claude in one step.
- A coverage report names the gaps — the standards nothing yet teaches.
- Every revision is kept, so "what did we teach that year" always has an answer.
-
A public academy page and a staff handbook
You can compose your policies into a versioned staff handbook — a branded PDF with per-person acknowledgment tracking.
- Assemble policies into a handbook, publish it as a PDF, and track who has acknowledged it.
- Set it up on its own page, or by talking to your Claude.
-
Certifications: define credentials your trainings earn
Define a certification — its name, issuer, how long it lasts, and what it takes to earn it (complete this training, hold that credential, get an approval). When someone meets every requirement, it is awarded automatically and appears on their profile.
- Requirements can chain: one certification can require another.
- Certifications can gate access — require a credential before someone can start a training.
- Just tell your Claude: "Create a certification that requires the Infant Room training."
-
Programs: multi-part trainings, in order
Bundle trainings into an ordered program — staff work through the modules one by one ("Module 2 of 5"), each unlocking when the one before is complete, with overall progress at a glance.
- Order is enforced automatically; no one skips ahead.
- Your staff see their programs, progress, and what is next in their portal.
-
Scenario slides + voice narration
Slides can now pose a scenario — a real situation with answer choices and instant feedback — so learners apply the material, not just read it. And any slide can carry spoken narration, generated from your approved script on your own OpenAI account, one module at a time.
- Scenarios are practice, not tests — feedback on the spot, nothing graded.
- Narration is selective: approve the script, generate the audio, preview it, then attach.
-
Share with exactly the right people
Beyond private, link-only, and public, a presentation can now be restricted: only invited email addresses get in — with a one-time code, or a personal invite link you can revoke anytime.
- Invite specific people by email; revoke one person without touching the rest.
- Revoked or expired access simply stops working — immediately.
-
Turn a slide deck into an interactive training
Take any presentation and deliver it as a guided, step-by-step training: staff move through the slides, pass short checkpoint quizzes to advance, and finish with a final quiz — with per-person progress and scores you can review.
- Add checkpoint quizzes after any section; a required checkpoint must be passed to continue.
- Learners see exactly where they are ("Step 4 of 12") and pick up where they left off.
- Assign to a person, a role, or everyone; review who completed it and how they scored.
-
Bring your own AI keys
Connect your own Anthropic and OpenAI accounts so the AI features run on your credentials. Your Claude does the authoring and building inside your academy.
- Anthropic key powers the in-app AI features.
- OpenAI key will power per-module audio narration for your trainings.
- Keys are encrypted at rest and never shown again after you save them.
-
Share a presentation with a secure link
Publish any deck as a live web link you control — keep it private, share by link only, or make it public — with an optional expiry, and lock it down again anytime.
- Private, link-only, or public — your choice per deck.
- Revoke or rotate the link to instantly cut off access.
- Locked or expired links simply stop working — nothing leaks.
-
Roles and permissions for your team
Provision staff with a role — administrator, leadership, staff, or contributor — and each person only sees and does what their role allows.
- You (the owner) have full administrator access to everything.
- Access is enforced across the console and your Claude connection.
-
Request features from the 1EDU team
Need something new? Ask your Claude to file a change request. We triage it, work it, and let you know the outcome — right inside the platform.
- Draft, refine, and submit a request in your own words.
- You are notified when it is reviewed and resolved.
-
Set up your academy — once
Define who your academy is — name, mission, values, the basics — and everything else builds on it. Just tell your Claude "set up my academy."
- A single, set-and-forget identity for your institution.
- Set it by talking to your Claude, or on the Academy page.
-
Run your academy by talking to Claude
Connect your own Claude to your academy over a secure link. Anything the platform can do, your Claude can do — build presentations and trainings, manage your team, draft communications, and more.
- One connection, scoped to your academy only.
- Your Claude becomes the workbench; the console is where it all shows up.
