SignSchool
SignSchool is a free platform for learning American Sign Language (ASL), available on the web, iOS, and Android. Its modular curriculum combines video lessons, quick lectures, interactive exercises, and reviews. The dictionary supports searches by English equivalent, topic, or handshape; learners can save favorites and revisit signs by topic or handshape. A Signing Game also uses the dictionary. The education offering is designed to help schools make ASL instruction interactive in classrooms, with custom lesson creation through SignStudio and more than 5,000 stock videos. SignSchool describes an LMS integration process involving an install, access code, and lesson building, but does not name specific LMS products. Webcam practice alongside an instructor is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. The privacy policy says practice video is not recorded and is visible only to the user. SignSchool also says it uses measures to protect personal and account information. The free plan is listed at free, with no paid pricing published on the pages reviewed.
