Our Video Alien Explanations Provide Deep Instructional Support Like Never Before
Most online programs fail at providing adequate or helpful feedback to students after they miss questions. Many programs offer text based feedback that students rarely read and quickly ignore. Our revolutionary Alien Explanations provide video explanations for every single question that is specific to that question. This provides drill-down instruction to the very basic skills the students are struggling with. With Education Galaxy, your students will quickly master concepts because their instruction is tailored to them.

Writing Composition Practice
Assign your students writing assignments to help them practice writing literary, expository, procedural, and persuasive compositions.

Then teacher reads, scores, and provides feedback to student drafts online. Next the students review feedback, edit their draft, and submit their final composition. Then the teacher would score the composition online or offline.
