Simple pricing for teachers, classes and campuses
Doc Lobe's lessons stay free for every learner. Paid options add ready-to-teach materials, classroom rights, results tools and support for instructors who build Doc Lobe into a course.
Free for everyone, always
All lessons, 3D models, games, quizzes and flashcards are free for every learner, and students can save their own results. No account needed. Instructors can try Doc Lobe with a class for 7 days; after that, using it as an assigned part of a course needs a course license (terms of use).

Why license Doc Lobe
Every license, by the term or by the year, gives you a finished, research-based course companion, so your time goes to students instead of prep.
Lesson plans already written
All 31 teaching packets come ready to use: three learning activities, a mini-lesson, student forms, rubrics and an answer key for every lesson, in PDF and editable Word. Less time building, more time teaching.
Culturally relevant and responsive by design
Every packet includes a culturally relevant mini-lesson, and the lessons center students' lived experience and communities. Student forms print in 10 languages so families can take part.
Grounded in current research
Lessons are built on peer-reviewed sources, most from the last ten years, with every reference linked. You can cite it in a syllabus and defend it in a curriculum review.
Assessment ready
32 gradebook quizzes (648 questions) import into Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Blackboard or Moodle. Certificate tests for undergraduate and graduate learners lead to a verifiable Doc Lobe Certificate of Completion.
Students stay engaged
Interactive 3D brain and body models, timelines, flashcards and a Game Lab with live class games turn reading into doing, on laptops, tablets or phones.
Access for every learner
Built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, with reading settings, keyboard and screen-reader support and untimed games for disabled and neurodivergent learners. An offline flash-drive version for rooms without internet, including correctional education. Lubie, the voice guide, reads pages aloud. No student accounts and no student data collected, so there's nothing to wait on IT to approve.
Support from day one
A 45-minute onboarding session, email support, a private Instructor Portal for your files, and purchase orders or invoices for your business office.
Progress you can show
Students download their own "My results" reports, and the Class Results page combines them into a class summary you can use for grading, program review or accreditation evidence.

Free, packets or a license
Learning on your own is always free. Ready-made materials for your own classes are packets. Building Doc Lobe into a course is a license, and the license includes every packet. Full details are in the terms of use.

Questions
Can I try Doc Lobe before buying?
Yes. Every lesson, game and quiz is free online, and you can use Doc Lobe with a class for up to 7 days before deciding. After that, a course license covers using it as an assigned part of the course.
Do I need a license if I only buy packets?
Packets are teaching materials licensed to you for your own classes. If your course also assigns Doc Lobe lessons, games or quizzes as coursework after the 7-day trial, the course needs a license. The license already includes all 31 packets, so you would not need to buy them separately.
What is the difference between a packet and a license?
A packet is teaching material for you alone: activities, forms and rubrics for one lesson, for your own classes. A course license covers your class: permission to build Doc Lobe into a course, all 31 packets, the offline version, gradebook quizzes, onboarding and support.
Which course license price applies to me?
Whichever is lower: $499 for the section or $25 per student. Classes of 19 students or fewer pay less per student; larger classes pay the flat $499. Discounts above lower both.
What happens when the license ends?
A course license covers one academic term. On the last day of the term your Instructor Portal access code stops working, so new downloads and certificate requests end, and classroom use of Doc Lobe as part of the course ends too. The lessons stay free online for individual learning. To keep teaching with Doc Lobe, register for a new course license each term, or choose an annual license so every term is covered.
Do you license to schools outside the United States?
Yes. International licenses are arranged by quote and invoiced in U.S. dollars, payable by PayPal or international wire; the buyer covers bank fees and any local VAT or GST. Teaching packet checkout is for U.S. buyers for now, and every license includes all 31 packets. See International customers.
Which annual license fits my school?
Community colleges, nonprofits and correctional programs: the annual instructor license ($1,199 a year per instructor, $899 for each added instructor, with your 20% or 40% discount). Four-year colleges and universities: the annual campus license ($4,999 a year for every instructor and section). Request a quote and we'll confirm the best fit.
Can I use it in a prison or other classroom without internet?
Yes. The licensed flash-drive version runs every lesson, 3D model, game and quiz with no internet. Only videos and outside links need a connection.
Do I need to buy packets if I have a license?
No. Every course license includes all 31 packets (the Complete Collection), sent to you with your license.
How do students earn the Doc Lobe certificate?
In a licensed course, students take the certificate test for Lessons 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 in your course site: 15 questions at the undergraduate level or 20 at the graduate level, drawn from a 40-question bank for each lesson. Students who score 80% or higher on all five receive the Doc Lobe Certificate of Completion in Brain Science and Mental Health. You request the certificates with one form, and anyone can check them at doclobe.com/verify. It is a certificate of completion, not academic or continuing-education credit.
Can I share packets with other teachers?
No. Packets are licensed to one teacher. Colleagues can buy their own, or your school can get an annual campus or instructor license, which includes every packet for every instructor.
