Flexible and engaging digital curriculum is possible through learning blocks

Learning blocks were designed with input from curriculum developers, teachers, and school staff to ensure the content is modern, practical, and aligned with educational standards. This collaborative process started with preview stages and continues through regular feedback sessions, creating a resource that evolves to meet the needs of educators and students alike.

Already implemented in six ASU Prep Global online courses—English 11 and 12, World History, Biology, Chemistry, US Government and Civics—the learning block format allows teachers to customize lessons to their students’ needs. Students benefit from short, interactive lessons that connect to real-life topics, making learning engaging and relevant.

Educators and students alike have expressed their enthusiasm for the learning block format. Here’s what they had to say:

What Teachers Are Saying

• Comprehensive and impactful

  Teachers rave about the quality of the curriculum. One educator shared, “I’ve never had access to a curriculum as comprehensive and impressive as this one, and I’m incredibly grateful for it. Your work has truly elevated my teaching.”

• Flexibility in teaching

  The design fosters innovative approaches. “I really enjoy the freedom to do a flipped classroom. The modules are well constructed and allow me to use my classroom time to enrich, practice, collaborate, and clarify,” one teacher noted.

• Ease of integration

  Teachers also appreciate its user-friendliness. “It has been very easy to incorporate into the current curriculum and allows students a better alternative to watching videos or other assignments.”

What Students Are Saying

Students are equally enthusiastic about the learning blocks, citing the engaging design and interactive features as game-changers for their education:

• A step above traditional materials

  “My old courses were slides with information crammed on them and no questions to check that I was learning. Now with Learning Cloud, the way information is presented helps me remember it and the activities/checkpoints really help me establish my memory.”

• Real-time progress tracking

  “I like how you can see the different topics in real time and see how much more you have left of the section you are in.”

• User-friendly design

  “I’ve enjoyed the simplicity and interactivity of the software, and the fact that guided notes are available for the different lessons. I also enjoy the layout of the software.”

• Support for active learning

  The format encourages exploration and support when needed. “I really enjoy the structure of Learning Cloud and what it brings to learning as far as the reading and question answering go. I also appreciate that it allows you to take a step back and gives you a hint to what the answer might be when it is incorrect.”

This shared enthusiasm from both teachers and students highlights how collaboration has transformed the educational experience.
