How it works

From your notes to a class that plays.

Breni drafts. You stay the teacher.

Say what to teach

Write it how you would tell a colleague, and add a PDF, slides, a web page or a video if you have them.

Check every part

Breni drafts the parts and courses. You change the order, the goals and the words before anything goes live.

Share with your class

Make the path private and your class joins with a code. Learners follow it in the Breni app.

See what they find hard

Counts for each course and the ideas learners miss most. Never names.

A certificate at the end

Learners earn a certificate for every path they finish.
