Features

Designed around the reality of a primary classroom

Rich enough for a full portfolio. Simple enough that a 6-year-old can use it without help.

A whole year, in one place

Photos, drawings, video, audio. The work piles up week after week. Parents see what their child did with nothing to file.

Students log in by themselves

No more forgotten passwords, no resets, no teacher helping 28 kids log in before 9 AM. You get back the time you used to lose to the login dance.

One portfolio, every medium

Photos, drawings, videos, audio. The student draws, narrates, snaps a picture of their notebook. Everything lands in the portfolio without switching apps.

One announcement, five emails saved

Photos, PDFs, audio in the same post. Parents reply or ask their question without opening another app. Real time saved every week.

Assign tasks, track returns at a glance

Give an activity to the whole class or to one student. See who handed in what at a glance, without leafing through 28 notebooks.

Your data stays in Canada

Student photos, drawings, parent communication: everything stays on Canadian servers, never in the US. Law 25 compliant from day one.

Compliance
Law 25, from day one
A real, named person is in charge of protecting your classroom's data. You can have everything deleted in under 30 days, no complicated form.
Hosting
Everything stays in Canada
Every photo, every piece of work, every email about your class stays here, in Toronto or Montreal. No US company has access to the content.
Privacy
Zero ads, ever
No ads. No trackers. Your data is never resold. The teacher pays the subscription, not an advertiser paying by reselling what they know about your students.

I migrated from Seesaw Plus in 20 minutes. Parents get a clearer weekly digest than what I was sending before, and I'm not paying $199 US per classroom per year anymore.

My students log in with the QR code taped to their iPad. No passwords to reset, which saves us half the Monday-morning frustration.

What sold me: my data stays in Canada. My principal asks fewer compliance questions, and we launched in September without the usual paperwork loop.

Frequently asked questions

What teachers and parents ask us

 

Is LinoClass compliant with Quebec's Law 25?
Yes. Student and parent data are hosted in Canada. Data collection is minimal, consent is explicit, a privacy officer (RRP) is named, and a data processing agreement is in place with our infrastructure provider. LinoClass is also PIPEDA (Canadian federal) and GDPR (European) compliant by default.
How much does LinoClass cost?
Two tiers. Free: try without a credit card, up to 10 students. Teacher Pro: CA$79 per year per teacher (about $6.58 per month). No multi-year commitments, no hidden fees.
My students are 6. How do they log in without passwords?
Each class gets a QR valid for the full school year. Students scan it from the home page and they're in. No passwords to remember, nothing to reset. For safety, QR codes only work between 6 AM and 6 PM on school days, and sessions expire after 8 hours of inactivity.
Do parents need to install an app?
No. Parents get a magic link by email that logs them in directly. No account, no app, no password. A weekly digest goes out every Friday.
Does it work on iPads and Chromebooks?
Yes. LinoClass is a progressive web app (PWA) that runs on any device with a modern browser. It can be added to the home screen to behave like a native app, with offline support for reading.
What happens to our data if I stop using LinoClass?
You can export the full portfolio as a PDF or downloadable archive at any time. On request, all data associated with your account is deleted within 30 days, including backup copies.
How long does setup take?
About 15 minutes for the first class. Account, student roster, print the class QR. Parents get their invitation automatically.
Is LinoClass bilingual?
Yes. Fully translated interface in Canadian French and Canadian English. Each parent, teacher, and student picks their language. Automated communications (digest, notifications) respect each user's preference.
