Help us 'Close the Circle' this term
Our mission is to turn 'half circles' into 'full circles' to increase student learning and success
Collaboration and engagement amongst classmates and peers is the antidote to a successful academic term and utilization of CircleIn as a helpful study tool.
We have found the main catalyst for highly successful CircleIn use in schools are when there are 'Circles', which are 'a collaboration ready network due to 10 or more students in a course active on CircleIn.'
We found that 'Full Circles' average 23 study actions while 'Half Circles' average 4.2 study actions. This means 'Full Circles' have 460% more engagement than Half Circles.
Help us end half circles and close the gap in college education, college experience, remote learning, and beyond this term by making sure students connect on CircleIn as full circles of peers.
