Features

Pronto is the most frictionless and easy-to-use communication platform on the market

Pronto integrates with Blackboard

Pronto is LTI-compliant and supports single sign on, automated user provisioning, and course integrations. Pronto integrates with Blackboard Open LMS, Blackboard Learn Ultra, and Blackboard Learn Original, and is available on iOS and Android.

Your entire campus can be onboarded in less than 10 minutes and connected with one another in real-time group chats for each course, study group, and more.

File Sharing & Storage

Share any file type—documents, spreadsheets, slideshows, photos, videos, and more. All files stored in Pronto stay in Pronto for easy retrieval with no storage limits. Pronto integrates with all reputable cloud storage repositories, including Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, and Google Drive.

Group Video Chat

Chat via live video with up to 10 people simultaneously or broadcast live video to up to 400 people, and record your video sessions for replay. Perfect for remote study sessions, guest lectures, office hours, or any time you’re craving face-to-face interaction.

Real-time Chat

Let’s face it—students simply don’t check email often enough. LMS communication tools are antiquated. Pronto allows faculty and administrators to connect with students in real-time with both group and direct messaging options.

Message Translation

Level the playing field at your institution. Pronto gives every student a voice by allowing them to confidently send messages in their native language while Pronto automatically translates those messages into the recipient’s native or preferred language.

Accessibility

Pronto is committed to maintaining best-in-class accessibility standards. Pronto is equipped with screen readers, dynamic text, and more. Additionally, Pronto runs on over 10,000 unique mobile device types and is both WCAG 2.0 AA and FERPA compliant.

Privacy

Protect yourself. Pronto keeps you connected to everyone in your organization without sharing your phone number or email with colleagues. Staying connected is important, and so is your privacy.

“I love Pronto! It allows for a more direct connection between me and my professors and makes communication really easy as all of my questions are addressed promptly.”
StudentMerced College

“Pronto has helped make my learning experience better and easier. I’ve been able to contact my professor faster, easier, and in many useful ways. I have been able to live video chat with my professor even though I was away from school.”
StudentPoint Loma Nazarene University

“In addition to the ability to communicate in their native language, students are now able to work more efficiently on their phones. Having students working together so easily and frequently has led to a much richer student experience.”
ProfessorHartnell College

“One of my students recently thanked me for using Pronto because she felt that it removed the communication barrier between myself and the students and that it made me more approachable as a professor.”
ProfessorMerced College

“Pronto can be deployed with little to no training for students. It has an excellent language translation engine and the live stream options, combined with file sharing and task management, contributes to a student-centric learning experience.”
FacultyCabrillo College

“My ‘A’ students—the independent learners—they’re going to be fine. It’s the dependent learners that struggle, that didn’t have the social capital to succeed in college, that I worry about most. When they have this tool that enables them to look at their teacher and say “help!” and I can jump in and help… it’s made all the difference.”
ProfessorGlendale Community College

“Getting immediate responses back just makes me feel validated. It makes me feel like my teacher is actually listening to me and taking me seriously. Feeling like you’re validated makes you want to puruse your success even more. Pronto has been a major help with this!”
StudentGlendale Community College

“I have seen students who are very afraid of using their voice to communicate. I have heard students say that they don’t feel comfortable speaking up in class. With Pronto, students are more comfortable participating in class because even if they don’t know how to say something in English, they use Pronto and it will translate it for them.”
