FAQ
rootLRN is the Learning Resource Network for schools and bootcamps.
What is rootLRN?
A learning platform with four courses: IT Support, Basic Networking, Operating Systems, and Security. Every lesson has 5 Ways to Learn. Labs run in the browser, including real Linux. Windows and Cisco practice panels are labeled as simulations. Networking labs add a network map. Practice Exams show which objectives still need work.
Does Eye Tracking record video?
No. Eye Tracking is optional and off by default. It runs in the browser, and no video or images ever leave the device. Students can view or delete their data at /my-data.
Is rootLRN affiliated with CompTIA?
No. Courses are aligned to published exam objectives but are independent rootLRN material.
How do colleges or training commands run a pilot?
Start a free pilot at /pilot/start: 30 students for 30 days. When it ends, lessons and labs lock until someone redeems a code. Academy pricing is $49 per seat per month or $429 per seat per year. The no-login demo stays free. A personal sample account is not the pilot and does not expire. Have a pilot code? Redeem it.
Where is the privacy note?
Privacy note: we keep only what a course needs, FERPA-aligned. Sensitive actions go into a tamper-evident audit log. Read the Privacy page or email contact@rootlrn.com, info@rootlrn.com, or hello@rootlrn.com.
