Helping schools respond to the impact of COVID-19
With thousands of schools now closed, we all need to move to a new way of teaching. It will be a challenge. But we believe in the spirit of our education community.
We want to play our part and support as many schools so, we are giving free access to our platform to schools in need until the end of next term.
In addition, we’ve pulled together best practices and our learning team will be running a series of webinars to show how to implement distance learning.
Powering today’s modern learning experience
Modern learning is messy. It’s complex, fluid, and unpredictable – and no two classrooms or students are ever the same. A modern learning experience depends on freeing your teachers to innovate for greater impact, while empowering leaders like you with holistic visibility to drive excellence schoolwide.
But schools are being held back by the limitations of existing EdTech, which is not built for modern learning. Rigid, prescriptive and fragmented, these systems constrain teachers with cookie-cutter processes and weigh them down with many non-teaching activities.
Today’s schools face a Modern Learning Experience Gap. The requirements and expectations for modern learning continue to accelerate, but with slow-growing budgets and tools that don’t go far enough, schools just can’t keep up.

Closing the modern learning experience gap
Forward-thinking school leaders are closing this gap with a new strategy that powers the modern learning experience, setting a new standard of excellence and liberating teachers to help every student reach their full potential.
