Oppia
Free online learning tool where interactive activities act like a one-to-one tutor.
Free basic maths lessons and a tool for creating your own explorations.
Oppia is a free online learning platform whose activities, called explorations, simulate a conversation with a tutor. It suits learners who want free practice and creators who want to publish interactive lessons.
What it is
Per the repository, Oppia lets anyone create and share interactive activities. Learners get feedback as they answer, and the project offers free lessons on basic mathematics at oppia.org, with plans for science and financial literacy.
Who it's for
It suits learners of basic maths and volunteer creators of lessons. It does not suit universities needing grading, enrolment and reporting; running your own copy is a developer task.

Our honest verdict
What's great
- Free lessons you can use on the hosted site with no setup.
- Apache-2.0 allows commercial reuse.
- Lessons give feedback instead of just showing content.
- Active development with a large contributor base.
Where it falls short
- The published lessons cover basic mathematics, with other subjects only planned.
- Running your own copy means a Python, Angular and Google App Engine codebase aimed at contributors.
- It is not a full LMS with enrolment, gradebook or certificates.
- Content quality depends on volunteers.
Pricing & license
Free under Apache-2.0, and the lessons on oppia.org are free. The README shows no paid plan; running your own copy costs only your own infrastructure and time.
