  • A simplified student dashboard that focuses on getting work done
  • A penguin mascot that presents the activities and directions to the student
  • A Progress view with a kid-friendly gradebook that focuses on completion and time spent instead of scores
  • A Grown-ups tab with grades and announcements for parents and guardians
