What is Linxus?
The transition from elementary to middle school is one of the most difficult periods in a young person’s life. The calming, familiar surroundings of elementary school give way to dramatic changes when children enter middle school. They must quickly adjust to multiple classrooms, new teachers with varying styles, more books, and more demanding projects and assignments. Linxus helps students get organized, manage their time, study properly, and develop their character, so they can succeed! The skills they will learn will serve them for a lifetime.

Course Features
Linxus users enjoy a variety of fun and stimulating features. Features include gaming technology for maximum engagement, strategies that help facilitate retention, parent and teacher guides to ensure the program is properly implemented and that parents are involved. Together, all of these features help ensure students acquire skills they need for long-term success.
GAMIFICATION
Keeping students motivated is one of the most difficult aspects of teaching new material. By integrating the latest gameplay mechanics into our courses, students discover learning that is challenging, yet engaging and fun.
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENTS
Each Linxus course includes pre- and post- testing, so teachers can compare results to measure the effectiveness of the program. This evaluative tool is simple to administer and the results can be analyzed through our convenient dashboard.
FUN CHARACTERS
On-screen characters, Meg and Simon, help connect learners to the content as they coach them through each chapter. Characters add an emotional element that fosters learning, captures your students’ attention, and keeps them attuned to the content.
STRATEGIES
How do you encourage students to retain information they have learned? You provide them with strategies and techniques that help them recall information. Each lesson is packed with methods to help students transfer knowledge for maximum retention.
ACTIVITIES
Linxus reinforces each topic with frequent and highly interactive quizzes, called knowledge checks, that students find both interesting and enjoyable. At the end of each chapter, students complete Connect and Reflect activities to further extend learning. Connect activities encourage student-parent interaction about each topic. Reflect activities allow students to connect the topic to their personal experiences.
508 COMPLIANT
Linxus courses have been carefully designed to ensure accessibility to all students including those who are color blind, require a screen reader, or need captioning. To this end, color combinations, font size, and captioning, have been thoughtfully applied.
Student Benefits
Linxus helps students maximize the value of their education by teaching them skills that are essential, yet outside the scope of regular classroom instruction. Besides the intrinsic benefits that come from learning how to manage your time or study effectively, Linxus is an extremely robust and flexible software package that is very cost effective. Scroll down for more information on each one of its many benefits.
SELF-PACED
When Linxus is delivered as stand-alone eLearning, it allows users to digest material at their own pace rather than the pace of students who may need additional instruction. Working at their own pace allows students to skip modules they don’t need, retake the ones they do, or reflect on more difficult material and relate it to existing knowledge, which is important for comprehension and retrieval.
FREEDOM TO FAIL
Learning is about making mistakes and correcting them, but we all know that failing can be scary. When taken online, Linxus enables students to repeat and explore the material without the spotlight of a classroom setting. Within the courses, Linxus provides feedback that enables students to take chances so they can understand the material better.
IMPROVED RETENTION
Linxus combines the latest instructional design methodologies and multimedia principles to create an immersive learning environment that leads to higher levels of cognitive engagement and thus higher levels of retention. Linxus provides games, knowledge checks, and strategies that help students better retain information. Research shows that students who are regularly engaged perform better, but don’t just take our word for it. Try it!
FLEXIBLE
Linxus courses can be easily adapted to fit your needs. Linxus can be scheduled when you want and where you want—during regular class time, in educational technology classes, or as an assignment outside of class to be completed at the student’s own pace. You can also distribute Linxus as stand-alone eLearning or part of a blended learning strategy; in small, bite sized chunks or as entire chapters. How you decide to use Linxus is entirely up to you!
4 COURSE SUITE
When you purchase Linxus, you get four courses with a total of sixteen chapters all in one complete package. Topics include organization, tracking assignments, time management, setting goals, techniques for studying effectively, test taking strategies, dealing with stress, character development, bullying, and problem solving and critical thinking. You get a complete media rich curriculum including assessments all in one suite!
CROSS-PLATFORM
Linxus can run on Apple®, PC, Android, or your iPad. Having the ability to download and run Linxus on virtually any operating system gives you the flexibility to take courses on any smart phone, computer, or tablet.
SIMPLIFIED LMS
Managing the courseware can’t get any easier. With most learning management systems there is a steep learning curve that requires you to create your own courses or learn another new software package. Linxus strips away the cumbersome elements of the typical LMS leaving you with a simple and convenient way to manage your courses.
COST EFFECTIVE
With all of the features and benefits Linxus provides, it is a great value when you compare it to other programs or even the cost of most text books. Starting at $19.99 per student, where else can you provide instruction on life skills such as time management, goal setting, techniques for studying effectively, test taking strategies, dealing with stress, character development, bullying, and problem solving and critical thinking?
SOCIAL LEARNING
Connect and collaborate with others in the Linxus community. The Linxus Facebook® page provides a way for users, teachers, and parents to share their experiences, knowledge, and insights gained from the courses. It can also empower users to help others while keeping everyone connected to the subject matter.
