In their own words

British Sign

British Sign provides an online British Sign Language course alongside free reference and practice materials. Its introductory self-study course has ten sections and takes about 20 hours, combining video demonstrations with assessments. Learners can replay videos at half speed and retake end-of-section assessments for free; the pass mark is 85%. Course and assessment access lasts two years from the learner’s first login. Completion provides a CPD-certified certificate with a unique verification code, but the course is not a regulated BSL qualification and does not assess the learner’s own signing. Free resources include a dictionary with sign videos, a fingerspelling player, quizzes, games and printable learning materials. The course works in desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile browsers. Group enrolment gives each learner an individual login, progress record and certificate, while the purchaser manages enrolments through a dashboard. Individuals can pay by card; organisations can pay by invoice, bank transfer or purchase order. The introductory course is listed from £5, with no free trial.

Play With ASL

Play With ASL teaches American Sign Language vocabulary through interactive games for individual learners, families and classrooms. Its game modes include Memory Match, TILT! and Multiple Choice, and its vocabulary uses real ASL signs filmed by Deaf educators. The free plan includes Animals and Colors packs, all game modes, and access on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android; it requires no trial period or credit card. The Full Library plan costs $5 /month and includes current and future vocabulary packs. Teachers can access the full content library, classroom management, student progress tracking, assignment creation and LMS integration for free through Teach With ASL. School licenses cost $5 /student/month and include LTI 1.3 integration, automatic grade passback, roster sync and LMS single sign-on. The School Edition supports Canvas, Schoology, Brightspace, Moodle, Blackboard, Google Classroom and other LTI 1.3-compliant systems. The maker says student records and game responses are not sent to generative AI models. It also says production data is processed and stored in a single US region, with no additional regional deployments established.
