ForClass

Creating an iTunes-like store for interactive academic materials

About

ForClass is an HTML5, fully integrative cloud-based platform for case study distribution, student assessment & class management. ForClass was created by professors to enables faculty to drive higher student engagement through accountability, while reducing the setup time required to prepare for class discussion using other technologies. Over 4,000 students are currently using the tool in Marketing, Operations, Entrepreneurship and Finances courses at over 30 leading institutions around the world, including the Kellogg School of Management, Harvard Business School and Columbia Business School. Annual case study sales at business schools, our initial target market, represent approximately $1bn. Our business model is based on the agency model in the case study marketplace, similar to that of iTunes, with a 70/30 split between the case author and ForClass. Future applications include medical school, law school, public policy and international affairs.
