1. What is Lessonspace?

Lessonspace (thelessonspace.com) is an enterprise platform for online tutoring used to engage students more than any other online video tool. The tool is used by millions of teachers and students around the world to conduct their online lessons.

2. Why is Lessonspace used in education instead of Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams?

Lessonspace is the chosen alternative to, and stands out from, other online video providers for a number of core reasons:

• It is purpose built for student engagement in education. This includes an interactive whiteboard with education-specific tools to help teachers engage students, such as graphing tools, code editors and in-lesson resource libraries.

• Content is created and stored. Instead of simply an online video call, teachers can upload PDFs, take notes, draw graphs, and add annotations. All these lesson notes are created and stored persistently on the lesson, which allows the student to come back to past lessons, do homework and recap work when studying for tests. All the content is created by and owned by the students.**

• Recording and accountability. All lessons can be automatically recorded and rewatched. This not only gives the student a hassle free way to watch past lessons; it also allows parents or guardians to be engaged in their child’s learning journey as well as keeping teachers accountable to student safeguarding and quality teaching.**

• It’s accessible. Lessonspace is designed for all students. The tool helps the teacher take control and lead a student through content, to ensure students of all abilities are able to feel comfortable, confident and engaged in their learning. (i.e. guided by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative)**

• It’s safe & private. Lessonspace is a web-based tool which means it’s forced to adhere to browsers’ strict security requirements (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). This makes it inherently safer than pre-installed apps on a client's device. Lessonspace also ensures Data Protection Policies are aligned to core standards (i.e. CCPA, GDPR) and other international data protection acts.**

3. Why do students, teachers, parents, schools, and districts love Lessonspace?

Lessonspace is designed around the core idea of making teaching easier. The easier it is for a teacher, the more engaged a student is, and the more a student learns. Lessonspace’s content and tools help students stay engaged, and absorb and retain information, and ensure parents can gain easy oversight into a students learning journey.

Schools and districts thrive when students, parents and teachers thrive. Lessonspace is a 21st century tool for online learning. More than a simple audio and video utility, it is designed to make students fall in love with learning by leveraging the possibilities of technologies and preparing students for a 22nd century world.
