Engageli is an AI-powered learning platform built for active, inclusive, and data-informed instruction. Developed by Stanford educators, leading technologists, and the founder of Coursera, it was purposefully designed to overcome the limitations of standard video conferencing and fragmented engagement tools. Engageli offers a streamlined, multi-modal environment that helps instructors create more connected, human, and effective virtual learning experiences. The platform brings together live classes, interactive self-paced learning, and AI-assisted course creation. Patented virtual tables enable intentional small-group collaboration, while built-in AI engagement tools—polls, quizzes, games, shared documents, notes, chat, and Q&A—support seamless participation without relying on external apps. Teachers retain full oversight with table visibility, content monitoring, and adaptable session controls. AI supports instruction across every modality. During live classes, it generates polls, quizzes, and summaries directly tied to presented materials. In asynchronous playback rooms, AI tutors respond to learner questions and support content review. Engageli Studio creates immersive modules by segmenting existing videos and PDFs and inserting activities at logical pause points. Engageli also delivers robust engagement data across live and self-paced learning. Instructors and administrators can track participation patterns, confirm active minutes, identify learners who need help, and meet funding, compliance, or performance reporting requirements. Today, Engageli supports more than one million learning hours each week across K–12 districts, colleges and universities, and global corporate training programs.
