Student learning never stops, and neither do we. As part of our commitment to language and literacy education, we are always thinking of ways to make teaching easier for you and learning more engaging for your students. Here are just a few of the new features we’ve added to our digital platform (vhlcentral) this past year.
Expand your testing possibilities with the new Assessment Builder. The first and only assessment system designed exclusively for language education, this new vhlcentral feature makes it fast and easy to customize online tests and exams. Create your own questions from scratch or leverage any existing quiz, test, or exam content from any lesson within the same program.
Introducing individualized assigning—now you can personalize the student experience to fit individual learning styles and needs, no matter what modality course you teach, or how many students you have. This new features gives you the flexibility to assign extra practice to select students, excuse students from an activity or assessment, and support differentiated learning needs.
Do you use Google Classroom? If so, then you’ll be thrilled to know that you can now seamlessly share resources from your vhlcentral course to Google Classroom. The Share to Google Classroom button provides teachers with a streamlined way to create assignment, announcement, question, and material posts within their own Google Classroom. This feature can be enabled for individual schools or entire districts.
Welcome to Vista’s Supersite for elementary students—a digital platform built exclusively to support young learners as they begin their language and literacy journey!
With the help of Pom Pom the penguin, young students are guided through the online learning experience in a way that is fun, interactive, and easy to navigate.
The simplified student dashboard focuses purely on getting work done. It allows students to easily find upcoming assignments and to move from one activity to the next with the click of a button. Students see their name, chosen avatar, and icons for their daily lessons.
Content, including activities and online books, is easily accessed through the big, friendly button. Activities are organized in small groups for easier navigation.
The Grown-ups section helps parents and guardians become active partners in their child’s learning. They can see posts and notifications from their children’s teachers. They can click on the calendar to check any upcoming assignments and open the gradebook to see how their child is performing every step of the way. Finally, in the Resources section, adults have access to information posted by the teacher to keep them informed about and engaged in their child’s progress.
*Available for all K–5 titles with student access.
