Hudra is not an official Queensland Department of Education or Instructure product. Use it only where your organisation permits browser extensions.
1. Install Hudra
The latest Hudra package and release notes are published on the official releases page.
- Download the latest Hudra release.
- Follow the installation instructions included with that release.
- Confirm Hudra is enabled on your browser's extensions page.
- Open or refresh the QLearn lesson you want to present.
Hudra currently targets Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
2. Start a presentation
- Open the lesson page on qlearn.edu.au.au.
- Launch Hudra from its extension control or the presentation option provided on the page.
- Choose the presentation or presenter view.
- Move through the lesson using Hudra's on-screen controls or supported keyboard controls.
- Use dual-screen mode when you want presenter controls on your screen and clean slides on the classroom display.
Hudra presents the lesson content already on the page. It is not a replacement for the QLearn page editor.
3. Quick troubleshooting
Hudra does not appear
- Check that the extension is enabled.
- Refresh the QLearn page after installing or updating Hudra.
- Confirm the page is on the supported QLearn site.
- Try closing and reopening the browser.
The presentation opens incorrectly
- Check that the lesson uses clear heading-based sections or the structure expected by Hudra.
- Reload the lesson and launch Hudra again.
- Test with other browser extensions temporarily disabled.
- Update to the latest Hudra release and the latest stable version of your browser.
Dual-screen view is not working
- Confirm the second display is connected and set to extend rather than duplicate.
- Allow any presentation window or pop-up requested directly by Hudra.
- Move the audience presentation window to the classroom display and keep the presenter dashboard on your main screen.
4. Report a problem
A useful bug report includes the Hudra version, browser name and version, page type, steps to reproduce the issue, and what you expected to happen. Screenshots are helpful, but remove student names, personal information and private course content first.
5. Why Hudra needs browser permissions
Hudra needs access to supported QLearn pages so it can read the visible lesson structure and turn that content into a presentation when you ask it to. Browser permission wording can sound broad because Chrome groups related page-access capabilities together.
Hudra should request only the permissions needed for its presentation purpose. See the privacy policy → for further information.
6. Disable or uninstall Hudra
- Open your browser's extensions page.
- Find Hudra.
- Turn it off to disable it temporarily, or choose Remove to uninstall it.
Removing Hudra also removes its locally stored extension data according to your browser's behaviour.
7. Contact and security reports
Do not send passwords, authentication details, student records or private lesson content. Suspected security vulnerabilities should be reported privately with the subject “Hudra security report”.
