Acadly is an attendance tracking and fraud prevention platform built specifically for higher education. Instructors at over 300 universities use it to take accurate, tamper-proof attendance in seconds, with no way for students to game the system. Once students are in the room, Acadly's live polls, quizzes, word clouds, and discussions give them a reason to actually pay attention.

We started Acadly because for most instructors, taking roll is still a tedious, gameable, time-consuming chore. The problem deserved a better solution than a password on the board or a sign-in sheet passed around the room.

On the blog, we write about edtech, pedagogy, and the science of student engagement. We dig into research, talk to educators, and try to figure out what actually works inside a classroom. If you teach, or think about teaching, we think you'll find something useful here.

We do it for the ❤️ of the classroom.
