The SkillTree application is free for individuals (both students and teachers) who want to create and share skilltrees. Free features include the SkillTree Drag and Drop Editor, SkillTree Compositions Management Page, Skills Manager and Monitor Students features.
We are have released the new beta version including SkillTree Admin Center for schools or organisations who wish to manage skills, users and related curricula centrally. This feature is available on the main website, however, if the tool is used in a school district, then it may be beneficial to self-host this tool on a private database. This will be more secure. You can then enforce certain login methods (and access the tool only if you have a school account) and also make the database private to your school. You will have full admin control over users and content.
The new beta release also supports grading and setting due dates on the skills.
HandiHow supports this transition. We can ensure that your school gets a private database, own hosting and setup the supported login-methods. Also, we can transfer all the data from the common database. The tool remains open source and completely free to use. The only cost involved is the hours we spend working on setting up your private tool and helping the school make the transition.

Hi,
I run a dojo and have found this app to be really useful. I’d like to know if there will be a premium version that allows my students to share their achievements on social media? I also currently have a website (using wordpress) with individual student logins. I’d like to know if there is a way of displaying each students’ skill tree display page within their own login on my website, so that when they select their own skill tree they can see their progress.
Some other ideas i would really like to see in a premium version include the chance of accumulating points that can then be used to purchase things in our online store. I’d also like students to see the skill sets of other students and to be notified in a common page whenever students achieve a milestone.
any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Mikhayl
Hello Mikhayl,
It is great to hear that you are enjoying the application. As of right now there is not a premium version in the works but that may well change.
I really appreciate to hear your thoughts and ideas for how we could improve and it is something we will revise for future development of the application.
Best Regards
Daniel
