LearnCube is virtual classroom software for live online tutoring and language education. Its browser-based classroom delivers audio and video through WebRTC without downloads, with multi-tab whiteboards, a cloud content library and teacher-specific features. The whiteboard supports drawing, typing, annotation, uploaded content and multiple boards. The Online School manages student and teacher accounts, administration, credits, scheduling, calendars, virtual classes, reminders, materials, reporting and white-label branding. Payments can be processed through PayPal or Stripe without LearnCube charging commission or transaction fees. Classes can be added to Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or an ICS file, but the feed is read-only. A REST API can connect the classroom to an existing platform or LMS. LearnCube runs in the cloud on AWS and deploys data centers in the European Union. It offers a free plan and a 14-day trial; paid pricing is listed from $14/user/mo (annual). It supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows, as well as API access.
