At Litmus Learn, we want to help teachers incorporate more blended learning into their classrooms. But, we know that there are sometimes barriers to doing so and we are committed to helping overcome those challenges.
Here are a few common challenges we’ve heard from teachers about why blended learning might be tough to implement, and how we can help:
Lack of training and support: Teachers may not have the necessary skills or knowledge to effectively use technology in the classroom, or may not have access to support and resources to help them implement blended learning.
❌ Lack of time for planning and preparation: Teachers may not have the time or resources to create and implement blended learning lessons, which can be time-consuming and require a significant investment of effort.
✅ Litmus offers an easy way to create and share lessons, and allows you to repurpose your content in several different features – including customized games, interactive video, social documents, and confidence assessments – All with a single login
❌ Limited access to technology: Some students may not have access to the necessary technology to participate in blended learning, which can create disparities and make it difficult for teachers to deliver instruction to all students.
✅ Litmus is a single platform that can be accessed on any Internet-enabled device. No special hardware or complicated licenses and plugins needed. We want to save time and focus on facilitating teachers and students through all our features.
❌ Difficulty in differentiating instruction: Teachers may find it challenging to differentiate instruction for students with different needs and abilities in a blended learning environment.
✅ Litmus gives teachers valuable, individualized feedback and even suggestions for future extension, remediation, and other ways to monitor student learning. Teachers are able to allow students to participate anonymously though the social document, and to express how they feel about the material through the confidence assessment feature.
❌ Limited time and resources: Teachers may be stretched thin and may not have the time or resources to create and implement blended learning lessons.
✅ Litmus is easy! It’s easy to set up an account, easy to create and share content, and easy to analyze student performance data to inform your next lesson. We bring together all the kinds of blended learning tools teachers love, but incorporate them into a single platform – One place, one login. Easy!
❌ Difficulty in measuring success: It can be difficult to measure the effectiveness of blended learning and to determine if students are making progress. This can make it challenging for teachers to know if they are on the right track and to make adjustments as needed.
✅ Litmus takes care of all that and more! We measure student performance and give you that at a glance, or allow you to go deeper to help individual students, or dig down on specific learning strands.
