Learning paths tailored to your school's needs
In Hakatemia, we can create customized learning paths to meet your school's needs. For example, we can create a path that corresponds to a specific degree component or course module.
- Custom pathsWe can tailor learning paths to match your school's needs. For example, for completing a degree component like "Maintaining Cybersecurity, 30 credits".
- Assign to groupsYou can assign the path to a specific class or group and track their progress from the dashboard.
- Continuous developmentWe continuously develop paths in collaboration with schools to better match curricula.
Gamified learning environment makes learning fun
Hakatemia is a gamified learning environment where students get experience points, levels and badges for successfully completing tasks. On the school leaderboard, students can compete with other students.
- Complete tasks to level upBy completing tasks students get experience points and levels.
- Master new skillsHakatemia has different types of exercises that give experience points to the skills related to the exercise.
- Compete on the leaderboardStudents can compete on the school leaderboard and the whole Hakatemia leaderboard against other students.
- Keep up your streakA long streak of completing tasks increases the student's streak, encouraging independent practice on weekends, for example.
- Get badgesBy completing challenges, students get badges that are visible in the student profile.
Assign students to groups, give tasks and track progress
Hakatemia is designed especially for teachers. You can create groups, give tasks and track students progress. Students can also print a certificate of completion and send it to the teacher.
- Create groupsYou can create groups and add students to groups. You can give groups tasks or goals and track their progress.
- Assign tasksYou can give groups tasks or goals and track their progress. You can assign the group individual tasks, entire courses or entire learning paths.
- Track progressYou can track the progress of the entire school, individual groups or individual students and see which tasks are still pending and which have already been completed.
Real-world lab exercises brought straight to your browser
Hakatemia lab environment has used a variety of technologies to optimize the user experience. We always strive to provide the simplest, most functional and fastest user interface for completing the task.
- Web-based terminalOften lab exercises do not require a full desktop environment, but rather a terminal. For this reason, Hakatemia uses a terminal based on xterm.js, which works directly in your browser. Unlike a full remote desktop, the web terminal works in real time even on slower connections and copy/paste works normally.
- Web-based desktopHowever, some lab exercises require a full desktop environment. In this case, we use a VNC connection tunneled over WebSockets, which allows a fully functional Kali Linux desktop directly in your browser.
- Web-based development environmentIn the web development environment, you can write and run code and scripts directly in your browser. This option is typically used when you are required to write or edit code or scripts to complete the task.
Relaxed pricing and licensing model
One price, no tiers. Billed annually, floating licenses — reassign from one student to another anytime. Affordable even for small schools.
- Floating licenses — reassign between students any day
- School leaderboard, groups, and deadline tracking
- Custom learning paths and progress reports
- Full Hakatemia catalogue — courses, labs, challenges
- Annual pricing, pay as you want
- Hakatemia for schools is paid for a year at a time, based on the teacher's estimate of the number of licenses required. The number of licenses can be easily increased during the year, in which case the difference will be paid in the next year's billing. You can pay in any way you want, for example by credit card or bank transfer.
- Keeping it simple
- Let us assume that the school has 100 students studying cybersecurity all year round. The school also has a three-month intensive course that requires 100 more licenses. In such a situation, we can simply agree that licenses are needed for the whole year, approximately 125 (100 all year round and 100 for a quarter of the year) and bill for that year according to 125 licenses.
A course for everyone
We are constantly adding new courses, modules, labs, practice environments, challenges and tools to Hakatemia. Start now and you will have plenty of new things to learn when you have learned the current material. A hacker is never finished, but we will develop together!
