One deck.
Every learner.

Assign a standard and an extended version to any activity. Students automatically see the one set for them — scaffolded support or deeper challenge, delivered silently in the background. No separate files. No awkward moments.

  • Per-activity standard and extended content
  • Students see their version automatically
  • Fully independent state — different tasks, same session
  • Results from all groups flow back to one teacher board
Student view — same slide, two levels
Standard
A) Repeats code a set number of times
B) Stores a value in memory
C) Runs code only once
Extended
A) Repeats code a set number of times
B) Stores a value in memory
C) Runs code only once
+ Write a for loop to print 1–10
Student-controlled accessibility

Dyslexia-friendly.
On their terms.

One tap switches to a dyslexia-friendly font, increases letter and word spacing, and softens the background to a warm reading tone — all on the student's own device. No teacher intervention. No drawing attention. Just learning that works for them.

  • OpenDyslexic-style font at a single tap
  • Increased letter, word, and line spacing
  • Warm cream background for visual comfort
  • Student choice — always private, always instant
No stigma · No teacher needed · Student-owned
Student view — one tap to accessibility mode

How it works

Up and running in three steps. No IT department required.

1

Create your deck

Build your complete lesson in the Author tool. Mix any slide types, activities, and adaptive content into one deck.

2

Share the code

Open a live session and display the 4-digit room code. Students join instantly on any device — no download, no login.

Built for schools

Safe for every classroom.

No procurement headache. No IT ticket. OctoDecks is designed from the ground up to be safe to use with students.

European servers

All data is stored and processed on EU-based infrastructure, keeping you on the right side of GDPR from day one.

No student login

Students join with a 4-digit room code — no account, no email, no personal data collected. Nothing to consent to.

EU-hosted image storage

Images you upload to your decks are stored on European Firebase servers only — no US infrastructure, no third-party data sharing.

Session & slide data deleted on exit

Response & slide data is used only for the live session and images on slides. When the session ends or you delete the slide or deck, it's gone — no student data is retained or stored.

Local storage only

Decks and settings are stored in your browser's local storage — on your machine, under your control.

GDPR compliant by design

No tracking, no profiling, no third-party analytics on student activity. Exactly what your DPO wants to hear.

One plan. Everything included.
