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.

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.
As educators we know that students perform better in school when they have solid foundations in organization, life skills like teamwork and cooperative learning as well as strong character skills.
