IXL Real-Time Diagnostic is an adaptive diagnostic embedded in IXL that estimates student levels and identifies skill gaps in mathematics and language arts. It updates as students answer questions and connects identified needs directly with recommended IXL skills.

Teachers use the diagnostic to establish baselines, group students, monitor changing skill profiles, and assign personalized practice within IXL. Districts should align administration, accommodations, score interpretation, data access, and retention with the intended use of the assessment.

Khanmigo is Khan Academy’s generative AI tutor for learners and teaching assistant for educators. For students, it is embedded in Khan Academy learning activities and uses a guided, Socratic approach intended to help learners reason through a problem rather than simply supply an answer; it can also support questions in subjects beyond a specific Khan Academy exercise.

For teachers and districts, Khanmigo combines AI-assisted planning and classroom-resource tools with student progress information, interaction visibility, and the broader Khan Academy content and mastery platform. Classroom access for students is provided through school or district implementations, allowing leaders to pair AI tutoring with rostering, reporting, implementation support, and established instructional content.

LanSchool Air is Lenovo's cloud-based classroom-management platform for Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, and mixed-device classrooms. It gives teachers a live view of student screens and tools to limit websites, blank or lock screens, open a website for the class, share the teacher's screen, exchange messages, and respond to digital hand raises.

The system helps teachers manage attention and provide support during device-based instruction; it is not a full Chromebook inventory, repair, configuration, or lifecycle platform. Google Classroom, Clever, and ClassLink roster connections can reduce class setup, while district administrators manage deployment and the conditions under which monitoring is permitted.

Learning Explorer is a standards-aligned instructional-resource search and lesson-building platform. It is intended primarily for K–12 educators finding and organizing instructional resources, with teachers, coaches, curriculum leaders, and students using it to support resource discovery, lesson planning, curriculum mapping, and differentiated assignment.

Educators find, curate, adapt, and assign lessons and digital resources from multiple providers. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Learning Explorer and Educational Leadership Solutions (ELS) merged in January 2024. The publisher now presents Pathways Learning Studio as a connected environment for learning, assessment, analytics and instructional resources, with a phased rollout announced for 2026. Learning Explorer, Lesson Planet, ScootPad and the Pathways assessment products retain distinct product histories; a company merger does not establish that a district uses every component.

LearnPlatform by Instructure is an edtech-management and evidence platform for inventorying digital learning products, monitoring usage, supporting privacy and compliance review, organizing approvals, and evaluating effectiveness and return on investment. It helps districts replace disconnected spreadsheets used for software requests and renewals.

The platform is directly relevant to the user’s original reason for creating the Workflow category, but its clearer home is EdTech Management, Software Governance, or Application Portfolio Management. Existing interoperability values are preserved pending the future connector redesign.

LiveSchool is a schoolwide positive-behavior and culture platform built around a shared points rubric. Teachers and other staff can recognize students from a browser or mobile device, attach comments, and use the same expectations across classrooms, while students and families can follow progress through their own accounts.

Schools can connect earned points to rewards, house systems, and celebrations, then use dashboards and reports to examine participation and behavior patterns. The product is designed to make daily recognition fast enough for staff to use consistently and to give leadership teams clearer evidence about whether their culture system is reaching every student.

MidSchoolMath is a middle-school mathematics curriculum and digital learning system. It is intended primarily for middle-grade mathematics learners, with math teachers, students, interventionists, and curriculum leaders using it to support conceptual understanding, problem solving, mathematical discourse, and practice.

Teachers use story-based contexts, classroom discussion, practice, assessment, and reporting to organize middle-grade mathematics instruction. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Mystery Science is Discovery Education’s elementary science lesson program. It is intended primarily for elementary science learners, with elementary teachers, students, curriculum leaders, and families using it to support phenomena, inquiry, discussion, hands-on investigation, and science explanation.

Teachers use short videos, guiding questions, discussion, readings, and low-preparation hands-on activities organized into standards-connected units. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

NoRedInk is an adaptive writing and language practice platform. It is intended primarily for upper-elementary through high-school writers, with students, ELA teachers, interventionists, and writing instructors using it to support grammar, conventions, sentence structure, revision, writing practice, and diagnostic instruction.

Students complete personalized practice and writing tasks while teachers assign skills, review misconceptions, and use diagnostic information for instruction. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

OpenSciEd is a nonprofit open-source science curriculum initiative. It is intended primarily for elementary through high-school science students, with released courses varying by grade band, with science teachers, students, curriculum leaders, and professional-learning staff using it to support phenomena-driven inquiry, modeling, explanation, argumentation, and three-dimensional science learning.

Students investigate coherent phenomena through discussion, hands-on work, data, models, readings, and explanation while teachers facilitate sensemaking rather than deliver isolated facts. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Otus is a K–12 assessment, data, progress-monitoring, grading, and instructional-management platform. It combines locally created and prebuilt assessments with third-party student data, standards-based reporting, portfolios, classroom tools, and intervention planning so educators can move from evidence to action without switching among separate systems.

Districts can use Otus as an assessment system, a student-data and analytics hub, and selected learning-management or MTSS workspace. It does not replace the district’s authoritative SIS, but it brings roster, demographic, academic, behavioral, attendance, assessment, and intervention information into a shared instructional record.

Panorama Student Success is an MTSS and student-support platform that combines academic, attendance, behavior, assessment, survey, and intervention information. It helps educators identify students who may need support, create plans, coordinate services, and monitor progress from a shared whole-child record.

The platform can surface behavior risks and document related interventions, but it is broader than behavior management. Its primary value is giving multidisciplinary teams a common workflow for early warning, tiered supports, case notes, intervention monitoring, and school- or district-level analysis.

Parlay is a platform for written and verbal academic discussion. It is intended primarily for secondary and postsecondary learners participating in structured discussions, with students, teachers, debate coaches, and content-area educators using it to support discussion, argumentation, evidence, reflection, peer feedback, and participation.

Teachers launch roundtables with prompts and resources, students contribute and respond, and educators use rubrics and participation information. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

PBIS Rewards is a schoolwide platform for operating a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports program. Staff recognize students with digital points tied to school expectations; students redeem those points through stores, events, or raffles; and administrators review usage and outcome data instead of managing paper tickets and disconnected records.

The base platform includes staff, student, and family access and can be expanded with Check-In/Check-Out, behavior referrals, social-emotional status checks, house groups, hall passes, and related intervention products. Districts should distinguish included functions from add-ons when comparing proposals.

Pear Deck Tutor is a 24/7 online tutoring service formerly called TutorMe. It is designed primarily for secondary and postsecondary learners seeking one-to-one academic help, with availability varying by contract and subject, with students, tutors, teachers, counselors, and program administrators using it to support live tutoring, writing feedback, homework support, and just-in-time academic assistance.

Students connect with tutors through live audio/video, chat, whiteboard, screen-sharing, subject tools, or asynchronous writing review while administrators can inspect session activity. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.
