The e-learning company offers schools, colleges and families a focused alternative to Facebook Groups and Meetup, built for group study rather than general social networking. November 10, 2026 — Explain Learning is a social learning platform built for student study groups across the United States. The platform lets students see and talk with their study group members face-to-face online, while their own notes, documents and pictures guide the conversation like a teleprompter. It serves school study groups, college study groups, kids study groups, language study groups, class groups and student clubs in one place. Why group study needs its own platform Students already form study groups, but most end up on general-purpose tools. Group chats scatter notes. Social feeds pull attention away from coursework. Event sites like Meetup are built for one-off gatherings, not weekly study sessions. Explain Learning was built for one job: helping students learn together. Group members meet face-to-face on video, share notes and homework, and keep the conversation going between sessions. Peers can also tutor one another, so a strong student in one subject can help a classmate who is stuck. The platform is designed for the groups that schools and families already run: • School and college study groups that meet before exams or every week • Kids study groups organized by parents and teachers • Military kids study groups that keep children connected to classmates through frequent moves • Language study groups that practice speaking with real people • Class groups, school clubs and activity groups that need one shared space instead of a Facebook Group Between sessions, group members can use the platform to share class updates, encourage each other through hard weeks and celebrate results together. Key features • Face-to-face group sessions: members see and talk with each other in real time, with shared documents and pictures on screen as prompts. • Collaboration tools: group chat, discussion forums, shared documents and interactive whiteboards for live work. • Note sharing and progress tracking: groups take notes together, share resources and track progress in one place. • Built-in flashcards for memorizing terms, vocabulary and key concepts. • Peer tutoring and support from other students on the platform. • Any device: works in a web browser on any device with an internet connection, for remote or in-person groups. Availability Explain Learning is available now to students, parents, teachers and schools across the United States, with free and premium options.
