Make Learning an Anytime Activity
Empower students to perform better by extending their learning window—before, during, and after school.
Always More to Learn
Students today face higher academic expectations and greater pressure to succeed than ever before. To confront this challenge, schools must extend the learning window, ensuring that students have access to the information and resources they need to continue learning far beyond the classroom.
More Effective Collaboration
eChalk provides K-12 students with powerful Web-based communication tools that enable them to continue collaborating and learning from each other, as well as from their teachers, even when they are outside of their physical classrooms. Class discussions and study groups are routinely conducted at home, at night, or over the weekend; shyer students communicate with teachers and build confidence by participating in online discussions; and students have an easy way to ask each other questions or share ideas and resources—all within a safe, protected online environment.
Individualized Access to Resources
With eChalk, each student has access to exactly the resources he or she needs—from homework assignments to sports and extracurricular activity schedules. In addition, students can access resource guides, class syllabi, handouts, videos, podcasts, and a wide variety of other learning materials posted by their teachers to meet their individual needs and to personalize and enhance their learning experience.
Meet Students Where They Are
According to a recent report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, over 90% of 12- to 17-year-olds who go online have used the Internet for school research. Schools themselves, however, have largely been absent from this online world—missing an important opportunity to reach out to students. eChalk’s Online Learning Environment enables schools to connect with students online—before, during, and after school - turning kids’ online activities into an educational learning experience and a fundamental part of their education.
