Hold class where the course already lives.

Kaptur is Folio's live classroom. The session is scheduled on the course, the roster is the guest list, and the attendance, recording and transcript all land back on the session by themselves.

Folio course page with class-session scheduling, attendance, roster and recording controls for an enrolled course.
A real course with modules, lessons, assignments and enrolled students: the LMS half, running on the same account.

Scheduled on the course, not in an invite

A session belongs to the course, so it lands on every enrolled student’s calendar with a reminder the day before. Nobody hunts through email for a link.

The roster is the guest list

Enrolment, role and the session window are re-checked when the room issues a token. A forwarded link gets a stranger precisely nowhere, and the same rule decides who may watch the recording later.

Attendance nobody has to take

Presence comes from the room’s own join and leave events, server-side. It is a record, not a show of hands, and it is waiting on the session when the class ends.

The lecture writes itself up

A recorded class is transcribed automatically, in the language it was taught in. The transcript becomes study notes for everyone, a quiz you can draft in a click, and a search across the whole term.

How it works

01

Schedule it

Add a session to the course with a topic and a duration. It appears on the course page and syncs to student calendars.

02

They join from the course

One button on the page the class is already looking at. It opens in the browser, or in the Kaptur app on a phone or tablet.

03

Folio checks the roster

The room asks Folio who this is before letting them in, every single time, against the live database rather than a cached list.

04

It writes itself down

Attendance, the recording and the transcript all arrive on the session without anyone doing anything. Study notes and a draft quiz are one click from there.

Office hours as a standing room, open whenever you are
Only the instructor can end the room or mute the class
Server-attested attendance per session, plus the check-in code when you want a deliberate roll call

Recordings kept 90 days, deleted automatically, and deletable sooner by the instructor
Automatic transcription in the language the class was taught in, across Arabic, Hebrew and English
Study notes, a draft comprehension quiz, and search across every lecture in the course
Recordings and transcripts travel with your institution’s data export

Questions, answered

Do students need to install anything?

No. Class sessions and office hours open in the browser on a laptop or desktop. The Kaptur app is there for phones and tablets, and it opens the same session link.

Can someone join with a link they were forwarded?

No. The link only carries an identity; enrolment, role and the session window are re-checked against the live database at the moment the room hands out a token. A student removed from the course after a link was sent still cannot get in.

How is attendance decided?

From the room’s own join and leave events, reported server-side after the fact. It is not a student clicking “I’m here”, and it does not depend on anyone remembering to take a register. The separate check-in code is still there when you want a deliberate roll call.

Does Kaptur record the class?

Only if the course turns it on. Recording is off by default, an institution can forbid it outright, and when it is on students are told so on the course page. Recordings are kept for 90 days and then deleted automatically; an instructor can delete one sooner at any time. Only people enrolled in that course can watch.

Who can watch a recording?

People enrolled in the course, and nobody else. Playback is authorised per request against the live roster, so access ends when enrolment does. The video streams from storage rather than living at a URL anyone could pass around.

Do I have to type up the transcript?

No. A recorded session is transcribed automatically, in the language it was taught in, and the transcript arrives on the session on its own. You can still paste or correct one by hand, and if you do, yours wins — an automatic transcript never overwrites a human’s.

What happens to the session afterwards?

The transcript becomes study notes for the whole class — summary, key points and chapters — clearly labelled as generated from your own lecture. Instructors can draft a comprehension quiz from it, and anyone on the course can search across every lecture’s words.

What if we leave Folio?

Your institution’s data export includes the sessions, the attendance, the transcripts and direct download links for every recording still inside its 90-day window. Transcripts are plain text with no expiry, so the words outlive the video.

Can we keep using Zoom or Meet?

Yes. A session can carry any join link you paste, and it keeps its schedule, calendar sync and materials. What you give up by using an external link is the part Folio can only do from inside its own room: roster-checked entry, attendance without a register, and the recording and transcript arriving on the session by themselves.

Teach the next one inside the course.

Schedule a session on the course, and your students already know where to be.
