Built by a school, for schools, Ulearn doesn't just help you run your school, it's a value and service upgrade for every administrator, teacher, student, and parent in your school. Your entire community covered under one subscription.

Everything's connected, so information flows naturally between admin, teacher, student and parent accounts — attendance, homework, grades, lesson plans, class history, student progress, communications — all in one tool, not scattered across many.

Teachers start online classes, prep lessons and reuse them for future classes, assign and grade work, and report progress and behavior straight back to parents. Students see classes, materials, assignments, grades, feedback, and class recordings, plus tools to keep practicing between classes — pronunciation, vocab, even AI-powered speaking practice. Parents keep track of their kids in real time — attendance, tuition, class schedule, announcements, teacher feedback, and dynamic report cards — No need to check in every other week.

Classes can run in-person, online, or simultaneously, and recordings get made available automatically to the right students, so kids can catch up, won’t fall behind, and reimbursing for missed classes goes down. Even billing's tied into enrollment and scheduling, so payments and discounts manage themselves.

The result: a stronger reputation, better education, more diligent students, happier parents, and a confident, efficient team that's not drowning in work.

Features

How Ulearn Works

Here, I'll take you through a complete tour of Ulearn, showing how all the features listed above are pieced together into one connected, feature-rich system that you can use to run your entire school, and that everyone else in your school can also log into and use for their own benefit. We'll start with how users see their class schedule, then move to how a teacher prepares a class, how students log in and see the homework assigned in that class, how they turn it in, how graders receive the homework and grade it, and how report cards are generated for every single student and land in the laps of parents. Along the way we'll cover everything in between, such as how attendance is tracked and how students join online classes. So if you are serious about taking Ulearn for a spin, please follow this walkthrough carefully.

  1. Class Schedule Organizer

    The Class Sessions page gives every user — owner, administrator, teacher, student, and parent — a high-level snapshot of their class schedule for any given day. It shows the most important information about each class, along with relevant user-specific details, such as which students need the most attention on that date for admins, and which homework assignments are outstanding for students. By default, the page displays the current date, but users can easily navigate between past and future dates, so any class on any date can be found with a few clicks and opened to view all of its details and contents. For admins in particular, this page is extremely useful for managing multiple classes at once without being overwhelmed.

    The owner and other administrators see all classes, while teachers and students only see the classes they are part of and have been granted access to. At a glance, administrators can see which classes still need updating, which classes are being held online, which students do not plan to attend, and who is behind on homework and grades. They can also update attendance, enter quiz grades, and mark homework as completed using quick-action dropdown panels, all without leaving the page. I'm sure you've experienced multiple things being thrown at you at once. This makes handling everything a lot less chaotic and makes you look like you've got it all together.

  2. Class Preparation

    Once a class is clicked into, its details are shown, and a teacher or administrator can start preparing the class, that is, making class material and information available to the students enrolled in it. All class-specific resources — the lesson plan, class comments, teacher-to-student comments, attachments, assigned homework, and quizzes — live in one space that students can easily find. This is also the page where students submit their homework in-app and access class recordings. What if, after class has been dismissed, the teacher realizes he's forgotten to provide a file, or wants to change the assignment?

    Imagine doing this the old-school way: contacting or emailing students individually for this one change. Instead, one upload or one edit serves everyone in the class, including parents connected to their children's accounts, so parents also know what's going on, all without anyone reaching out.

    Teachers can also prepare a class with no added work by simply pulling in a past lesson or past class recording from the school's curated repertoire of pre-prepped lessons. More on that later.

  3. Digital Communication Book + Student Agenda

    The same class details page, when viewed by a student, reflects what the teacher or administrator has prepared. For every class, students can log in and see the lesson or subject of the class, assigned homework, quiz and homework grades, comments the teacher left for the entire class and for that specific student, and class recordings for review or for making up a missed class. This page completely replaces physical communication books and personal academic agendas. But it is not only a portal to class material. It is an academic workspace where turning in recording homework, for instance, is actually a guided reading exercise with AI-assisted pronunciation, word definitions, and translation guidance. More details on this later.

    So, before class, students can get a brief of what to expect and download any preparation material they need. After class, they turn in homework, practice, and make up a missed class by watching its recording so they don't fall behind. Once work has been received and graded, grade updates are reflected here as well. The page then becomes a permanent record of the class to look back on.

Our Story

Ulearn begun from the challenges faced by Bethany Learning Center, our family-run buxiban in the Daan District of Taipei. Leading its development is Todd Sherrill, a former Apple software engineer with over 30 years of experience, who saw the need for a smarter, more efficient way for schools to manage learning and communication.

The earliest step toward Ulearn came when Andrew Sherrill, an English teacher at the school, created a Google Sheets tool that tracked homework, quiz grades, and attendance, then automatically compiled the data into detailed reports for parents. This simple tool improved transparency and accountability, but it also revealed the need for a more comprehensive solution.

Recognizing this, Todd committed himself full-time to building Ulearn. With Director Bethany Sherrill's (李秀梅) full support, and years of feedback from teachers, students, and parents, Ulearn was refined into a robust and reliable platform, carefully tailored to the needs of a modern school.

When COVID-19 disrupted education across Taiwan, Bethany Learning Center was already prepared. Ulearn’s features for schedules, homework, and communication made the shift to online learning seamless, requiring only the addition of virtual class functionality. Even after returning to in-person teaching, the school continued using hybrid features such as virtual attendance and recorded lessons, improving both efficiency and student engagement.

Today, Ulearn is a versatile, in-house-developed platform shaped by real classroom experience. Unlike outsourced systems, it was built from firsthand needs, combining Todd’s engineering expertise with the day-to-day realities of teaching. Now available as a multi-tenant web application, Ulearn offers schools the same level of transparency, accountability, and resilience that has transformed Bethany Learning Center.

Now available as a multi-tenant web application, Ulearn can offer the same level of support and success to your school as it has offered us.
