What Users Love About the App

“An excellent resource for learners to amp up, learn, or practice math skills. With a learning management system built in, teacher/coach can follow student progress and the system allows for self-directed and self-paced, individualized learning. Learnbop is an “automated tutoring system” for students in primarily grades 5-9.”

“Teachers, parents, students may find learnbop’s tutorial system great for any student struggling with, or interested in learning at a higher level than their grade level, or to reinforce unlearned or forgotten lower level skills. Learnbop’s tutorial system, personalizes learning by assessing current skills and providing instructive tutorials and exercises to fill in critical math skills.”

“Teacher/coach has the ability to set up classes and follow student progress, and assign interventions through a contained LMS. Learnbop’s curriculum aligns with Common Core State Standards, and provides support documents. It is browser and tablet based.”

“It is very easy for teacher/coach to set up an individual or class assignment. The built in calendar and drop-down list for assignments, as well as the assignment preview, all help teacher/coach determine the appropriateness of assignments created. The whole process takes less than a minute.”

“While working through some of learnbop’s tutorial lessons and exercises, called bop’s, I found the scaffolding and instruction engaging and appropriate, explaining difficult math concepts in a easy to understand, demonstrated lessons, with student practice/participation immediately following the lesson. Student’s also have the opportunity to get immediate help if stuck on a bop, with a slowed down, step-by-step tutorial on the specific problem they are trying to answer. There is really no excuse for not completing assignments.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Feedback via panda bear character(s) seems somewhat inappropriate for skill level in some cases. Not sure a lot of 7, 8 and 9th graders would buy-in as a result. Perhaps to gamify with badges or other types of rewards might make this more appropriate.”

“Math only, limited format of questions, not very visually kid friendly, can not group students within a class to make assigning easier, explain component for kids to share how they got the answers, push progress or print to the parents. push progress to parents when I want to but able to print as well, a way for the kids to see/earn progress, something to motivate the students to be able to see.”

“Needs more math assessments problems for K3. Current content is Algebra based for 5th grade on up. It would be great if this tool offered ELA standards in addition to questions that pertain to Math standards.”

“One thing I immediately thought about that could pose a problem is the lack of one on one devices for our students in order to use this problem. A lot of schools don’t have internet/computer access for each child in their building and this software would need accessible technology.”

“I am not sure if this program has follow up practice problems, but would make this program great would be to have a “homework” tab set up for student practice outside of school based off their results from a prior session.”
