Are you ready?! We’ve been working hard to bring you a whole new experience for back-to-school season and beyond.

Discovery Education has long been known for its expansive treasury of high-quality content and instructional resources that span all grades, subjects, and critical topics of today. Now, we’re building on that reputation and evolving to bring you so much more inside one daily learning platform.

Just in time for the 2021-22 school year, we’ve added a host of new, time-saving features and resources to our K-12 learning platform to better support teaching, creating, and professional growth for our educators. As of July 12, you can find enhancements like:

A Completely Redesigned Video Player

  • Build interactive video quizzes or slideshow activities in a few simple steps.
  • Assign videos directly to students and add context and instructions.
  • Reach all learners with embedded language and accessibility supports.
  • Find supporting resources and content like images, interactives, reading passages, and podcasts.

New, Interactive Quiz for Better, More Effective Assessment

Tighter integrations with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other EdTech tools like Google and Microsoft Teams make it much easier to quickly search and share content directly with students. We’ve also improved access in and out of the classroom with seamless SSO integration, QR codes for student login, and a new “search by school” feature.

Together, these new features and enhancements support you with endless ways to create interactive learning experiences that spark curiosity, make classroom activities lively and engaging, and help every student achieve their “light bulb” moment.

Keep coming back to the DE blog this August as we dive deeper into these new features and how they work for you. You can also follow us on Facebook and @DiscoveryEd for even more helpful tips and resources for the new school year.
