SignSchool is a free platform for learning American Sign Language (ASL), available on the web, iOS and Android. Its modular curriculum combines video lessons, quick lectures, interactive exercises and reviews. Learners can look up signs by English equivalent, topic or handshape, save favorites, and revisit signs by topic or handshape. A Signing Game uses the SignSchool dictionary. The education offering provides custom lesson creation with SignStudio and more than 5,000 stock videos. SignSchool describes an LMS integration process involving an install, access code and lesson building, but does not name particular LMS products. The platform lists offline access and progress tracking. Webcam practice alongside an instructor is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera; the privacy policy says the video is not recorded and only the user can see it. The education offering is intended to help schools make ASL instruction interactive in classrooms. Questions can be sent to [email protected].
