Content-Only Option
- Lincoln Learning course content accessed from the Buzz Learning Management System (LMS) or uploaded onto a school’s own licensed LMS if compatible.
- There are two options to work with Google Classroom and Lincoln Learning course content on the Buzz LMS:
- You can upload Google documents (content created in Google Classroom, for example) into the Buzz LMS platform with the Lincoln Learning content.
- You can download Lincoln content into Google Classroom.
- Students without internet access can have PDF lessons downloaded onto a device, and schools will have access to PDFs of worksheets and other assignments (including assessments) that can be printed for those students.
- Teachers will be given access to a vast digital library on the Lincoln LMS (Buzz) that will serve as a resource for searchable content/learning objects (specific instructions are included in the teacher training).
Teacher-Led Services
APSRC offers a digital option to allow schools to purchase Teacher-Led Courses for any of Lincoln Learning’s courses, including credit recovery courses. This could be a possible solution for districts facing teacher shortages in specific content areas with specific groups of students, or students that continue to choose a virtual option and need a complete or supplemental learning solution.
