FAQ
Common questions
Is there a fixed education price?
No. Terms depend on the group, the period and how Lumen Tool is used, so they are agreed per school.
Can we start with a small group?
Yes. From one small group to a whole department.
Which computers work?
A normal Windows PC or Mac with an up-to-date browser. The studios run on the computer's graphics chip, not on the processor alone. Recent built-in graphics from Intel, AMD or Apple are enough; a separate graphics card is not required. Set Builder, the 3D studio, asks the most and runs best on a recent machine. Tablets work in many studios. See the system requirements.
How do students sign in?
Students enter their email address and receive a sign-in code by email. They enter that code to open Lumen Tool. No password is needed.
How is student data handled?
Lumen Tool does not sell data, use it for advertising or use it to train AI models. Details are on the data processing page.
Is Lumen Tool in English?
Yes. Lumen Tool and its help pages are in English. Depending on the number of licenses your school needs, we can discuss whether translating the Lumen Tool interface into your language would be possible.
