Testimonials
“Having a system that is easy to work with and can adapt to the specific needs of a class is invaluable. I work with a number of students who have learning disabilities and special needs …We worked on a plan to modify assignments and oriented observers that could assist the students. This has resulted in faster evaluation of work submitted and better communication between the instructor, observers, and students. The success rate of the students has increased significantly since this collaboration.”

“eDynamic Learning courses are entertaining and well-designed. They encourage students to explore facets of their interests that they may otherwise not be able to explore; this allows students to learn something that tracks with what they may intend to do in the future. I use my eDynamic Learning courses to enhance the growth mindset of my students. The content is fascinating for the students, and I can help them create practical, modern-day connections between the content and their interests. In addition, because the content is sound and student-friendly to navigate, I can focus my energy on teaching students analysis, communication, and life skills.”
