About

Loops

Read full description

Loops is a tool for teaching and learning through interactive mind maps, filled with interesting content and varied activities. Loops is used in both schools and companies. In Loops you can transform your educational content into a high quality digital experience, and the mind map structure provides the opportunity to create the pedagogical process that is best for the context you are in. The loop that you build yourself will be a mixture of your own texts, videos and tasks together with the content you choose to link into the loop, all sorted into the 10 activities in Loops where you can communicate in different ways with your students. The students will get a great overview of the area they are working with, thanks to the mind map structure, but also a path to follow. The learning experience will be versatile as students can watch videos, read texts, and learn through games and quizzes. Either together or on their own in the loop. In Loops, the students always communicate in the way they prefer. They can answer a question by writing a text of course, but also easily record a film or a sound file directly into the system, post a picture, add a link or attach a document. As a teacher, you can see all your students' answers in a teacher panel where you can give feedback, check off a task, and communicate throughout the whole learning process. Loops works great as a tool in the classroom, but also for distance learning. To instruct remote students, you can share your screen in an online meeting, but also interact with students in the product between the occasions when you meet.
