Lumio announces back-to-school features and Schoology integration for teachers

As the new school year begins, Lumio by SMART is excited to unveil a suite of enhancements designed to empower teachers and engage students. Our latest integration with Schoology Learning allows educators to seamlessly deliver interactive lessons from their learning management system, streamlining classroom workflows and minimising distractions.

Lumio feature enhancements and partnerships

A recent Gallup poll found that engaged students are 2.5 times more likely to believe they do well in school and are 4.5 times more hopeful about their futures than their disengaged peers. Lumio’s recent enhancements aim to engage students by giving them multiple modes of expression, various ways to interact with content, visual cues, and self-paced learning.

Recent Lumio feature improvements for back-to-school include:

• Add and attach audio – Educators and students can now embed pre-recorded audio or record up to five minutes of personalised instruction and response directly within lesson pages. This improves accessibility for all students, supporting diverse learning styles while allowing them to showcase their understanding and demonstrate their learning through another modality.
• Stickers – Teachers can now transform traditional feedback into dynamic activities that promote student participation and creativity with stickers. Educators can now use stickers to give visual cues, enhance feedback, or emphasise important concepts, making lessons more engaging and personalised. Students can also use stickers to express themselves creatively and exercise their voice and choice, whether through interacting with check-ins, self-paced activities, or collaborative whiteboards.

We’re excited to announce our latest partnerships with:

• JUMP Math – Lumio has partnered with JUMP Math to integrate Accumula, a set of supplementary resources for years 2-9. Educators can now access over 60 ready-made lessons, unit tests, and student books within Lumio, making it easier to plan and deliver maths instruction. This partnership gives teachers more time to focus on student engagement rather than lesson prep, ensuring that learning stays at the forefront.
• ClickView – Teachers looking for high-quality, standards-aligned video content will benefit from Lumio’s integration with ClickView. With over 40 pre-built lessons on topics such as AI and cyber-safety, and more on the way, teachers can easily find topics to support their classroom conversations. These resources, complete with interactive quizzes, make lesson planning simpler and more engaging for students. And soon, teachers will be able to embed any ClickView videos into their lessons.

With these exciting updates, teachers continually gain access to tools that enhance students' experiences. From interactive audio tools to more creativity and seamless integrations, these improvements are designed to help you and your students thrive.
