Live classes

Teach on the board. The class keeps itself, page by page.

A whiteboard inside the live class, made for the pen on an interactive panel and just as happy with a mouse. What you draw reaches every student as you draw it, lands in the recording, and is kept beside it as notes for the same evening. Students watch the board; only you can draw on it.

  • ·Pen, highlighter, shapes and text
  • ·Pages, and a grid when you want one
  • ·A curtain to reveal a proof line by line
  • ·A quick poll: yes/no, A–D, “got it / lost me”
  • ·Students tap to point at what they mean
  • ·In the browser and in Institra Desktop

    One tap and you are drawing

    “On the board” next to the class opens the room with the board up and nothing else on screen. Focus keeps it that way for the whole lecture.

  • ✓

    Say it, and the board draws it

    Tap the microphone, say “binary search tree with seven nodes” or “a circle with its equation”, and it appears as shapes and text you can edit, so you tidy instead of draw. Type it if you would rather. A lapel or wireless microphone hears you best.

  • ✓

    Your slides under your pen

    Put a PDF of your deck on the board. Each slide becomes its own page, locked underneath, so you annotate over it and the slide stays put.

  • ✓

    Notes the same evening

    Every page is kept beside the recording. As the video plays, the page you were on is highlighted; click a page to jump to it. One PDF of all pages, or any page on its own, to download.

  • ✓

    Pick up where last week stopped

    Open an earlier class’s pages onto today’s board and keep drawing. Last week’s notes stay exactly as they were.

  • ✓

    Nothing to install on the panel

    It runs in the browser on the PC that drives your panel, or in Institra Desktop. The panel keeps its own software for everything else; there is nothing to integrate.

The desktop client

When the exam really matters, the browser isn’t enough.

Institra Desktop opens the exam in one fullscreen window with no tabs and no address bar, runs the camera inside it, and reports to the professor exactly what it managed to enforce on that machine — a reading, not a claim. Windows, macOS and Ubuntu differ in what an operating system will allow, and it says which one it is on.

  • ✓ One window, one exam — every other link, pop-up and download is refused
  • ✓ Refuses to start with a second display, inside a virtual machine, or beside an open browser
  • ✓ Camera proctoring runs inside the locked window — no live camera, no questions
  • ✓ Exams can require it — a normal browser is politely turned away, and the server checks the client on every request

Wellbeing

A quiet check-in today. A real human when it matters.

Not therapy, not surveillance — a lower doorstep. Students say how the day feels in two minutes; the ones having a hard week get one-tap access to the people whose job it is to help. And it isn’t only for students: staff get the same space, with an even stricter deal.

The wall between the halves is the product.

Proctoring data never touches wellbeing records. Professors never see a check-in. Enforced in the database, not the UI.

One platform, four seats

Everyone on campus gets their own front door — and only their own.

Everything a real course runs on.

Every one of these is something you can try in the demo — not a claim you have to take on trust.

Coding exams that grade themselves

Students write and run real code in the browser — Python, JavaScript, Java, C and C++. Every submission runs against your test cases and scores itself.

Maths and LaTeX, natively

Write $\int_0^1 x^2\,dx$ in any question, option or rubric. It renders as real maths on the student’s screen.

Live classes for the whole cohort

Built to hold 300+ in one room, inside the course it belongs to. Raise a hand, unmute the one you want, share a screen or open the board, and record the session if you need it.

Proctoring that watches the room

Face and phone detection, ambient-light flagging, fullscreen and keyboard lockdown — with nothing for students to install. The secure client takes over when a browser isn’t enough.

AI grades to your rubric — you sign it off

It scores each essay, code submission and written answer against every rubric criterion and shows the reasoning behind it. You adjust and approve.

Questions drafted from your notes

Give it a topic or paste your notes and get a ready-to-edit set of multiple-choice and true/false questions, tagged and graded by difficulty.

Nothing else does both halves.

Quiz tools examine. LMSes organise. Proctoring bolts on. Counselling apps sit outside your campus. Institra is the only place learning and wellbeing — marks and minds — run together.

Honest answers

Is the wellbeing space a mental-health screening tool?▾

No. It never scores or flags a student on its own. There is one optional self-check; the result belongs to the student and reaches the counselling team only if they send it. Everything else is a check-in and a route to a human.

Can professors see a student’s check-ins?▾

No. No professor-facing role has any access path to wellbeing data in the database — the wall is structural, not a setting.

Does proctoring data ever reach counsellors?▾

Never. Exam violations, recordings and flags live entirely apart from wellbeing records, and nothing joins them.

What does proctoring actually do?▾

Camera-based face, phone and head-pose monitoring, plus a native lockdown desktop client for high-stakes exams. It logs and flags; apart from the auto-submit thresholds you set, humans decide.

Does it work with the interactive panels we already have?▾

Yes, in the sense that matters: Institra runs in a browser or in Institra Desktop on the PC that drives the panel, and the board takes the panel’s pen like any drawing app. Nothing is integrated with the panel’s own software and nothing needs to be. We run a trial class on your panel before you decide anything.

What does it cost?▾

Professors: free. Institute pilots, including wellbeing: free. Institute-wide pricing after a pilot is a conversation.

What if our campus doesn’t have counsellors?▾

Not today — requests go to your own counselling team, and the console fits a single visiting counsellor as readily as a full cell. A counsellor network for campuses that have none is what we’re building next. Until then, wellbeing stays off until you turn it on.

See it on your own campus’s terms.

A working demo on demo data, your counselling team in the room, and every hard question welcome.
