Lumio Delivers Back-to-School Feature Enhancements and Schoology Learning Integration, Making Teaching Easier and Learning Fun

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the new school year kicks off, Lumio by SMART has introduced a suite of improvements designed to enhance teaching and streamline classroom workflows. With a focus on simplifying lesson delivery and keeping students engaged in learning, these updates are set to transform the classroom experience. Among the most notable is Lumio's integration with Schoology Learning, providing a seamless way for educators to deliver active learning experiences right from their Learning Management System.

Teachers looking for easy-to-use tools that save them valuable time will be thrilled to hear about Lumio's new Schoology Learning integration within the Spark plan. This integration allows teachers to access Lumio's interactive lessons directly within the Schoology Learning platform through single sign-on, reducing the need to switch between multiple tabs or platforms. By embedding Lumio into Schoology Learning, educators can focus more on instruction and less on technology management, ensuring students stay engaged in the lesson without unnecessary distractions.

To celebrate the start of the school year, Lumio is offering a Back-to-School BOGO promotion for school districts in North America. Schools that purchase the Lumio Spark plan for one department or grade level can get it for a second department or grade level free.

Lumio Feature Enhancements & Partnerships

A recent Gallup poll found that engaged students are 2.5 times more likely to believe they do well in school and are 4.5 times more hopeful about their futures than their disengaged peers. Lumio's recent enhancements aim to engage students by giving them multiple modes of expression, various ways to interact with content, visual cues, and self-paced learning.

Recent Lumio feature improvements for back-to-school include:

    --  Add and attach audio - Educators and students can now embed pre-recorded
        audio or record up to five minutes of personalized instruction and
        response directly within lesson pages. This improves accessibility for
        all students, supporting diverse learning styles while allowing them to
        showcase their understanding and demonstrate their learning through
        another modality.
    --  Stickers - Teachers can now transform traditional feedback into dynamic
        activities that promote student participation and creativity with
        stickers. Educators can now use stickers to give visual cues, enhance
        feedback, or emphasize important concepts, making lessons more engaging
        and personalized. Students can also use stickers to express themselves
        creatively and exercise their voice and choice, whether through
        interacting with check-ins, self-paced activities and collaborative
        whiteboards.

The latest Lumio partnerships include:

    --  JUMP Math - Lumio has partnered with JUMP Math to integrate Accumula, a
        set of supplementary resources for grades 1-8. Educators can now access
        over 60 ready-made lessons, unit tests, and student books within Lumio,
        making it easier to plan and deliver math instruction. This partnership
        gives teachers more time to focus on student engagement rather than
        lesson prep, ensuring that learning stays at the forefront.
    --  ClickView - Teachers looking for high-quality, standards-aligned video
        content will benefit from Lumio's integration with ClickView. With over
        40 pre-built lessons on topics such as AI and cyber safety, and more on
        the way, teachers can easily find topics to support their classroom
        conversations. These resources, complete with interactive quizzes, make
        lesson planning simpler and more engaging for students. And soon,
        teachers will be able to embed any ClickView videos into their lessons.

In addition to these updates, Lumio is running a classroom makeover contest for educators who have not signed up or purchased Lumio yet. To participate, teachers simply need to sign up to Lumio and create a free account, and they will be automatically entered to win a grand prize of $2,500 for a classroom makeover. (Note - this excludes teachers in Quebec, New York and Florida).
