HabWorlds Beyond is a new type of online science course. What sets it apart from the current generation of online courses and MOOCs?
Emphasizes learning by doing
Students learn by doing as they create and destroy stars, hunt for planets, and search for signs of life. The course features a personalized quest, “Habitable Hunt”, where students search a field of stars for evidence of inhabited worlds. Try the demo

Faculty can create a continuous cycle of improvement for their course. You will get access to a lesson-authoring tool to create and deploy content and real-time learning analytics to analyze how their students learn, so you can tailor the lessons to your students’ specific needs.
Uses adaptive technology
Students get unique, adaptive feedback and learning pathways that can adapt dynamically as they learn. Access real-time learning analytics to help you understand your students’ responses, misconceptions, and visualize their learning pathways.
Graphically rich content
