2. LearnX
The learning platform for the net generation, where simulation,
interaction and plagiarism detection converge in one dynamic
learning environment.
Design for K-12 and Tertiary Education
An integrated learning environment driven by the tenets of
constructivism and situated cognition.
3. Vision
Educational learning platforms in the twenty first century should
be reflective of the vast array of tools that are available, while
maintaining pedagogical soundness.Educators are looking for
learning environments that improve the teaching learning
process.
Our visions is to become the leading provider oflearning platforms
that moves beyond functionalities of the common LMS to provide
simulations that reflect real world contexts for K-12 and tertiary
students and teachers.
4. Market Problem
Context is important in learning, many subjects are taught in
isolation, and many students find the content to be abstract.
Existing learning management systems are not equipped with feature
to replication real world contexts.
After extensive schooling, graduates still have to spend several
hours in on the job training in order to truly understand the
working environment and context.
5. The Solution - LearnX
An integration learning platform that combines the best features of
Moodle and Second Life with build in plagiarism detection
features.
Low cost and ideal for learning
Learning will never be the same.
6. Solution
One Integrated Learning Environment
Interaction and Collaborative Features
Wikis, blogs, discussion forums and chartrooms
Grading and Assessment Features
Quizzes, E-portfolios,Plagiarism Detection feature
Simulation Features
Virtual Labs, Museums, Offices, Court Rooms, Farms etc.
All in one learning environment
7. How Does It Work
LearnX on an online Learning Platform
Educational institutions that subscribe to LearnX are given a
LearnX learning space on the LearnX server.
All configurations and maintenance are done by the technical team
at LearnX. This significantly reduces the expenditure that
participating institutions will incur.
Teachers are then carried through a training session which can be
conducted live or through the simulation environment of LearnX
learning platform.
8. How Does it work
Teacher will then be required to set up their classes and enroll
students.
Student will then be able to:
Interact with peers and teachers
Upload assignments
Use the simulated environments
Download notes and lessons
Work on E-portfolios
View Grades and monitor progress.

Record simulation videos for future use.
12. Students
Access course material from anywhere
Interact with peers and teachers
Upload assignments
Use the simulated environments which include museums, labs, farms
etc.
Download notes and lessons
Work on E-portfolios
Upload papers through plagiarism detection interface
View Grades and monitor progress.
13. LearnX Learning Platform
The learnX environment offers educators a low cost secure
integrated and learning platform with the best features of a LMS,
simulations software and plagiarism detection.
The costs associated with the maintenance and support of the
learning platform are absorb by LearnX.
Teacher and students have access to simulation environments such as
labs, museums, hospitals, courtrooms, farms etc.
Content that is produced on the LearnX learning space is owned by
the creator (teacher and students).
Information is secure and can only be accessed by users with a
secure login.
