What’s new in Ludoran
What we’ve added and changed, newest first.
Your story, slides made here, and apps of your own
- Students
My story
A private journal of your time at uni, written for you. After a class, a badge or a hand-in, tap how it felt and add a line if you like; Ludo turns it into a paragraph of your story. Download it as a book at the end of each semester. Only you can see it.
- Lecturers
Slide canvas
Make slides right in a class step: any layout, big numbers, pictures, shapes, themes and transitions, with builds that appear click by click and notes only you see. Students can follow along on their phones.
- Lecturers
App maker
Describe a class app to Ludo and it builds it beside you: a quiz game, a simulator, a sorting task. Apps run sealed off, with no internet and no student data.
- Lecturers
Music library
Songs for class, ready to use: pick one by mood (focus, upbeat, suspense, celebrate…) for a step’s background music or the class timeline. It’s credited for you.
- Lecturers
Ranked board
A class step where questions and topics rank themselves live as students vote. Take the top one, mark it done, and the next rises.
- Lecturers
The app bar
A floating bar at the bottom of every screen with your quick apps either side of the App drawer. Apps open on top of whatever you’re doing and keep running when minimised.
- Lecturers
Badges along the way
A badge can be earned a step at a time, and a class can vote (secretly) on who gets one. New badges are celebrated on the big screen and on each student’s phone.
- Lecturers
A roomier class screen
The live class screen gives more room to what’s on it: the clock top right, the step’s numbers in the bottom bar, and boss battles that fit the screen.
- Everyone
Theme store
Ready-made looks, free: pick one and make it your own. Students can pick one for their phone in class; lecturers can share theirs.
- Students
Acknowledgements
The references, music and thanks for each class, in one place on your class screen.
- Everyone
Forms
A quick form anyone fills out from a link or a QR code, no account needed: sign-ups, a short survey, who’s bringing what. See every answer summed up, or download them as a spreadsheet.

Ludo’s new look
Ludo is a little mochi now, in his teal scarf, with a whole wardrobe redrawn to fit: hats, glasses, capes and things to hold.
- Everyone
A new look
Paper and ink, with glass for what floats on top: an old institution, brought into today. Calm in light and dark mode. Prefer something else? Pick any theme, or your university’s brand.
