Integrated learning systems (ILS) are among the many educational resources that teachers infuse in the classroom.
An integrated learning system (ILS) is a computer-based program comprised of hardware and software that teaches content to students, evaluates student learning, and monitors academic progress. It is typically integrated into the K-12 curriculum via networked computers.
Integrated learning systems allow teachers to individualize instruction, identify students' academic needs or difficulties, and provide extra coaching and practice. They are widely used in U.S. schools, both at the elementary and secondary level. Two examples of integrated learning systems (ILS) are SuccessMaker (K-12 language arts, math, science, and social studies), and Curriculum Advantage (K-12 math and language arts and K-6 science).
Research shows that integrated learning systems (ILS) improve academic performance when teachers use their tracking feature to monitor student progress and customize instruction. They also increase students' active involvement with learning in comparison to traditional non-computer-based classroom activities.
