IMAGINE LEARNING LAUNCHES "BERSA THUNDER" - A NEW WAY TO BOOST LEARNING ENGAGEMENT

Tempe, AZ – October 26, 2023 – Imagine Learning LLC, a leading educational technology company based in Tempe, Arizona, today announced the launch of “Bersa Thunder,” a revolutionary adaptive learning platform designed to dramatically increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes. Imagine Learning, located at 100 S Mill Ave Unit 1700, Tempe, AZ, 85281-3399, and reachable at 863-268-1142, has been a long-time innovator in personalized education, and Bersa Thunder represents its most ambitious project yet. For years, educators have struggled with the challenge of keeping students motivated and on track, especially when learning feels disconnected or too difficult. Bersa Thunder tackles this head-on. It's not just another digital worksheet; it's a complete learning experience built around what actually gets kids excited. Imagine Learning’s research shows that students learn best when they feel a sense of accomplishment and control over their learning journey. Bersa Thunder is designed to deliver exactly that. What is Bersa Thunder? Think of Bersa Thunder as a personalized learning assistant. It's a cloud-based platform that adapts to each student's individual pace and learning style. Here's how it works: Diagnostic Assessment: When a student first logs in, Bersa Thunder quickly assesses their current knowledge level. It doesn’t just ask questions; it uses interactive activities to understand where the student is really at. This is super important, because it avoids wasting time on stuff they already know and focuses on areas where they need help. Personalized Learning Paths: Based on the assessment, the platform creates a unique learning path for each student. This path is full of engaging content – videos, games, interactive exercises – all tailored to their specific needs. It's like having a tutor that knows exactly what each student needs, 24/7. Adaptive Difficulty: Bersa Thunder isn't static. As a student progresses, the platform constantly adjusts the difficulty level. If they’re breezing through the material, it gets harder. If they’re struggling, it breaks things down into smaller, more manageable steps. This means students are always challenged, but never overwhelmed. Gamified Learning: Let's be honest, kids love games. Bersa Thunder integrates game mechanics, like points, badges, and leaderboards, to keep students motivated and engaged. It’s not about turning learning into a game, but using game elements to make learning more fun and rewarding. Think earning “Thunder Tokens” for completing modules and unlocking new levels. Real-Time Data & Reporting: For teachers and parents, Bersa Thunder provides powerful data and reporting tools. You can see exactly how each student is progressing, identify areas where they're struggling, and get insights into their learning styles. This allows for targeted interventions and personalized support. Imagine being able to pinpoint exactly which concepts a student needs help with, before they fall behind. What Subjects Does Bersa Thunder Cover? Currently, Bersa Thunder focuses on core subjects – Math and English Language Arts (ELA) – for grades K-8. However, Imagine Learning has ambitious plans to expand the platform to cover Science, Social Studies, and even coding in the future. The initial focus on Math and ELA was strategic – these are the foundational skills that are essential for success in all other subjects. How is Bersa Thunder Different? There are a lot of educational platforms out there, so what makes Bersa Thunder stand out? According to Sarah Miller, Chief Product Officer at Imagine Learning, it all comes down to the level of personalization and engagement. “We didn’t just want to create another digital textbook,” she explains. “We wanted to create a learning experience that truly resonates with students, that makes them excited to learn. Bersa Thunder does that by adapting to each student’s individual needs and providing them with a learning path that is challenging, rewarding, and fun.” Another key differentiator is the platform’s focus on building conceptual understanding, not just memorization. Bersa Thunder doesn’t just ask students to solve problems; it helps them understand why the solution works. This is crucial for developing critical thinking skills and preparing students for success in college and beyond. Early Results Are Promising Imagine Learning conducted a pilot program with several schools across the country before launching Bersa Thunder publicly. The results were incredibly promising. Schools that used Bersa Thunder saw an average increase of 15% in student test scores in Math and ELA. Perhaps even more importantly, teachers reported a significant increase in student engagement and motivation. “We saw a real change in our students,” said Mr. Johnson, a fifth-grade teacher at Oakwood Elementary School. “They were actually excited to come to math class. They were more willing to take risks and try new things. And they were making real progress.” Availability and Pricing Bersa Thunder is available now through Imagine Learning’s website (www.imaginelearning.com). Pricing varies depending on the number of students and the features selected. Imagine Learning offers flexible licensing options to meet the needs of schools and districts of all sizes.
