What makes Breakout EDU unique?
Breakout EDU is unique in that it transfers the ownership of learning from the instructor to the student, making it easy to observe how learners approach problem-solving and apply their content knowledge.
Characteristics:
Breakout EDU has dedicated sites for teachers and for students. The functionality is clear and easy to understand and the user interface is easy to navigate and learn. We offer a robust search for teachers to find and access games for use in their class. In addition, we aim to make the sharing of these games and the tracking of student progress easy and clear. The student website experience has been designed with student creativity in mind. Students can easily access the games they are assigned and also create their own games with our powerful and very simple to use Game Design Studio.
