Learner's Launch: 

Learnerʼs Launch is a digital learning platform for the next generation of tech-savvy students and teachers.  It allows teachers to structure and supplement their lessons around digital games and learning applications, so teachers can pace their lessons according to the rates their students learn, and students can move forward according to their individual aptitudes and interests.

Teachers can search Learnerʼs Launch recommendation engine by subject areas or topics to find games suited to their studentsʼ needs.  As guild leaders, teachers initiate learning sessions and lead their students through games.  The game interface reinforces learning by engaging learners visually and conceptually in the task of navigating, manipulating or problem solving. Students who master the games can also become guild leaders, giving students the experience of leadership in online communities, and offering teachers additional opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.

Learners who need extra time or help mastering a concept or skill can get it by playing more, and learning from their teachers or their peers. The Learner’s Launch platform fosters peer-to-peer exchange and community inside the learning guilds, allowing teachers to customize learning for individual students at the same time they encourage collaboration among diverse learners.

Learnerʼs Launch also contains built-in assessment tools to help teachers gauge each studentʼs progress in the learning application. With such clear reporting, itʼs easy to know when students collectively or individually have mastered a concept. When they do progress, Learner’s Launch digitally rewards their efforts with achievements.

This learning model engages students to become more successful learners, and participate with their peers in online communities. For teachers, this dynamic learning platform provides digital education options to accommodate diverse learners.
