Universidad Liberté is launching its own virtual classroom. It's called Aula Liberté, a project Universidad Liberté commissioned from the company VERUMax, and as of today it's the entry point to all of its courses: classes, certificates, each student's progress, and the team of tutors, all in one place.
The launch coincides with the start of the Diplomatura Cultivando Soberanía. From this cohort on, anyone studying at Universidad Liberté no longer has to jump between emails, scattered links, and third-party platforms: they log into the classroom and find everything there.
A classroom built to order
Universidad Liberté asked VERUMax for a classroom that wouldn't carry over the drawbacks of the best-known virtual campuses: each one solves one problem and creates another — heavy accounts, cumbersome sign-ups, connectivity requirements that leave people out. The brief was to take the best of each and drop what gets in the way.
The goal wasn't just technical. Universidad Liberté wanted — and needed — a classroom that was free, inclusive, and grassroots: a space of its own, with no intermediaries owning the data, built for people studying from very different circumstances.
Free education, open to everyone.
Take courses however works for you: web, email, or WhatsApp
Juliana — Liberté's personal assistant, Inteligencia comunitariA that draws on artificial intelligence — runs the classroom from end to end. That's why access is simple and works however suits each person best: through the web, by email, or on WhatsApp. That flexibility isn't a minor detail: some people study from difficult circumstances or remote areas with weak signal, while others have a good connection and want to move fast. The classroom answers to both realities, without penalizing anyone with unstable internet.
From Aula Liberté, students reach everything they need for their coursework: classes, certificates, tracking of their own progress, and contact with the team of tutors accompanying each course. Live sessions still happen over video call, now linked directly from the classroom, and Juliana is there too: she joins the class, takes attendance, and answers questions in the chat.
Open to the whole community
Aula Liberté is the virtual campus for all of Universidad Liberté, and it's built for everyone: it's open to anyone in the community who wants to learn, not only to members of the cooperative.
And this is just the beginning. We're signing partnerships with organizations to offer specific courses, and soon we'll relaunch all the courses once offered by Instituto Liberté: the Victim Support Fund, Restorative Pathways, Rights Behind Bars, WhatsApp Hack Protection, and many more. All of them, from a home of their own for learning, built to fit the people who live in it.
