Included in the discovery experience, is Discovery Studio. This is an authoring tool gives students and teachers the power to build their own lessons and presentations. Further, students can demonstrate their understanding no matter where they’re working and teachers can quickly check for understanding and assess learning gaps. Culturally authentic material and additional supports like closed captioning, video transcripts, translation options, and text-to-speech help you make learning accessible in an equitable way for diverse learners and adapt content to specific student needs.
