LearnXThe learning platform for the net generation, where simulation, interaction and plagiarism detection converge in one dynamic learning environment.

Design for K-12 and Tertiary Education

An integrated learning environment driven by the tenets of constructivism and situated cognition.

VisionEducational learning platforms in the twenty first century should be reflective of the vast array of tools that are available, while maintaining pedagogical soundness. Educators are looking for learning environments that improve the teaching learning process.

Our visions is to become the leading provider of learning platforms that moves beyond functionalities of the common LMS to provide simulations that reflect real world contexts for K-12 and tertiary students and teachers.

Market ProblemContext is important in learning, many subjects are taught in isolation, and many students find the content to be abstract.Existing learning management systems are not equipped with feature to replication real world contexts.After extensive schooling, graduates still have to spend several hours in on the job training in order to truly understand the working environment and context.

The Solution - LearnXAn integration learning platform that combines the best features of Moodle and Second Life with build in plagiarism detection features.

Low cost and ideal for learning

Learning will never be the same.

SolutionOne Integrated Learning Environment

Interaction and Collaborative FeaturesWikis, blogs, discussion forums and chartrooms

Grading and Assessment FeaturesQuizzes, E-portfolios, Plagiarism Detection feature

All in one learning environment

How Does It WorkLearnX on an online Learning PlatformEducational institutions that subscribe to LearnX are given a LearnX learning space on the LearnX server.All configurations and maintenance are done by the technical team at LearnX. This significantly reduces the expenditure that participating institutions will incur. Teachers are then carried through a training session which can be conducted live or through the simulation environment of LearnX learning platform.

How Does it workTeacher will then be required to set up their classes and enroll students.Student will then be able to:Interact with peers and teachersUpload assignmentsUse the simulated environmentsDownload notes and lessonsWork on E-portfoliosView Grades and monitor progress.
