Nexus does not ask you to build a course by hand. You bring a topic or a source. We turn that in into an interactive course you can engage with - and, if you teach, a lesson you can assign and grade.
01
Bring a source
Start from a question, a topic, pasted text, a link, or a document. Specific is better: “how a bill becomes law” will generate a more focused lesson than “American government.”
02
Build your first lesson
Nexus builds summary sections and exercises organized by Bloom's taxonomy of learning - rapid lesson creation that meets the rigor of learning science.
03
Engage and practice
Work through flashcards, multiple choice, or short answers to build your understanding and memory. Mark the questions you struggle with to focus your practice.
What you will see on Nexus
On the home page, you will see your lessons. Each lesson holds a summary of the reading, practice module, and a simple indicator of progress. Educators also have access to Classes: create a class, invite students by email, assign a lesson, and follow assigned work. Students can still make personal lessons that are not part of the class unless you assign them.
