The idea behind SimplyLearn
Make room
for learning.
A teacher’s slides. Their voice. A simple way to follow along and return to what matters.
Where it began
A class should fit the connection you have.
SimplyLearn began during remote schooling in India, when families shared phones and a day’s mobile data between children. A video class could use up the connection before the school day was over.
We keep the teaching material small: clear slide images and the teacher’s recorded voice. The explanation stays with the lesson, ready to revisit before the next class or an exam.
For teachers
Bring the lesson. We’ll keep it together.
- Create a classroom
Upload a PPTX, PDF, or up to 40 slide images.
- Share the student link
Students join in their browsers with their names.
- Start your microphone
Teach as you move through your slides. Each explanation is saved automatically.
End class to keep the slides and recordings for revision. Permanent deletion is a separate action.
For students
Follow the class. Learn at your pace.
Choose Listen live to hear your teacher. Their next slide change brings everyone along, while you can still skim privately.
Choose Replay this slide to listen again. Replay holds your place through teacher changes until you tap Back to live. Use class chat to ask a question.
How do I keep a lesson for later?
Choose Save for revision, then open Saved lessons in the same browser. Interrupted downloads can resume. Update the saved lesson after class and after the teacher’s pending audio has uploaded.
Will my saved lesson work without internet?
Yes, once it is fully saved. Bookmark the Saved lessons page, and keep this browser’s site data. Devices can clear browser storage, so a downloaded ZIP makes a useful backup.
What happens if my connection drops?
The classroom reconnects automatically. Completed teacher audio waits in their browser until it can upload. Students can replay saved explanations to catch up.
What should I know about audio?
Live audio has a few seconds of delay. Teachers need microphone permission and a secure connection. Keep the teacher’s screen awake and the recording tab open; phones may pause it in the background.
What happens to PowerPoint animations and fonts?
Slides become still images. Video, animations, hidden slides and speaker notes are excluded. A PDF with embedded fonts gives the closest match to the original presentation.
