Teach LCA with real data.
Put the whole class on Circa, in the browser, with no installs and no seat limits. Students work in project teams, you review their models through share links, and academic data licenses are unlocked in the Library for you.
Every student, on any laptop.
No setup sessions
Students sign in and start modeling in the first class. No installs and no seat limits, on any browser, in English or Japanese.
Project teams
Students form their own teams and work on the same model in real time. Accounts and work stay with them after the term, in the same tool they'll find in industry.
Share links for grading
Review any student's model through a read-only share link. Let reviewers inspect published research.
