How It Works
No setup fees. No onboarding calls. No waiting period. Create an account, build your course, and start teaching — all in the same afternoon.
Free to explore. Pay when you're ready to grow.
Sign up with your email and start exploring immediately. No credit card required. No trial timer counting down in the corner. You get access to the full platform right away — the course builder, gradebook, attendance tools, and credential system are all live from day one.
Free to explore — no credit card needed
Start with the end in mind. Define what your students should be able to do when they're done, then build backwards from there. Create the final assessment first, then break it into lessons structured around your exact schedule — once a week, twice a week, intensive bootcamp, whatever fits.
Once your course is live, everything works together. Enroll students, track attendance with rotating QR codes, run auto-graded quizzes, manually grade assignments with nuance (Missing, Excused, Late modifiers), and issue permanent credentials on completion. No copy-pasting between tools. No exporting spreadsheets. It's all one system.
Start with one course. Add more when you're ready. There's no cliff — UPCOT scales with you. Build a catalog, add TAs and co-instructors, create paid newsletter tiers to stay connected between courses, and let your credentials speak for themselves.

Common Questions
You can have your first lesson live within minutes of creating your account. A full multi-week course typically takes a few hours to build from scratch — or minutes if you're importing from Canvas.
None. The course builder is visual and drag-and-drop. If you can write an email and upload a file, you can build a course on UPCOT.
You can explore the platform for free — build your first lesson, add up to two elements, and test the gradebook, attendance, and credential system. Payment is required once you go beyond your first lesson and two elements, or when you're ready to make a course public, whichever comes first.
Yes. UPCOT supports IMS Common Cartridge imports from Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Sakai. Your content, quizzes, and course structure come with you in one click.
Backwards curriculum design — starting from the outcome and building backwards — is available to everyone. AI-powered lesson plan generation is available on Pro plans.
That's the whole idea. Explore for free, build a lesson, see how everything connects. There's no trial timer. You decide when you're ready to grow.
