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 attendance is written from the room itself. Nothing to reconcile afterwards.

Enrolled students only. Entry is re-checked against the roster, and attendance is recorded from the room itself rather than self-reported.

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

Enrollment, role and the session window are re-checked when the room issues a token. A forwarded link gets a stranger precisely nowhere.

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 session outlives the call

Attach the transcript and Folio drafts study notes for the whole class. Add the recording link and see who has actually watched it.

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 lands back on the session. Add the transcript and the recording link, and the class has its materials.

What comes with it

Runs in a desktop or laptop browser, with nothing to install
Kaptur app on phone and tablet, opening the same session link
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
Transcript to study notes: summary, key points and chapters for everyone
Draft a comprehension quiz straight from the lecture transcript
Recording links with per-student watched counts
Any external join link still works, so Zoom and Meet remain an option

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 picks up the same link.

Can someone join with a link they were forwarded?

No. The link only carries an identity; enrollment, 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?

Kaptur does not record. You can attach a recording link to any session afterwards, and Folio tracks which students have watched it.

What happens to the session afterwards?

Attach the transcript and Folio drafts study notes for the whole class — summary, key points and chapters — clearly labelled as generated from your own lecture. Instructors can also draft a comprehension quiz straight from it.

Can I keep using Zoom or Meet?

Yes. A session can carry any join link you paste. Kaptur simply becomes the default when it is set up, and it is the only option that can check the roster and record attendance for you.

Teach the next one inside the course.

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