01. General

Cogito is our digital learning platform and has been carefully designed to fulfil Academia’s pedagogical aims. Brightspace is a top-tier Learning Management System (LMS) used by educational institutions globally. Think of Cogito as a multidimensional experience that aggregates a swathe of digital learning tools into a seamless experience.

Cogito is:

(a) an online collection of digital learning experiences in the Academia universe, including videos, notes, worksheets, quizzes, and drills.

(b) the location of our Virtual Classrooms

(c) an AI-powered learning companion that can assist and offer feedback

(d) a digital concierge that links clients up with a solution or a relationship manager

Log into cogito.brightspace.com and you will be able to see the upcoming lessons in the calendar provided. You can also click on the Cogito Concierge for your level to locate the upcoming online lesson. The digital lessons provided are integrated directly into Cogito and designed for the best online teaching experience—we feel it’s better and more secure for our students than Zoom!

Cogito lessons are permissionless: you may go for any online lesson that has been made available to you on the platform, including: Replacement Lessons (RL) or Post-Week Lessons (PWL)

03. Using Cogito

All parents will have access to their own Parent account, which is different from the Learner account.

On Parent accounts, you will be able to view the test scores of your child, as well as any quiz or assignment that has been completed.

All content on Cogito cannot be downloaded—they are part of the digital experience.

They are only accessible from your child’s Learner account.

You will be able to access these resources at any time throughout your child’s learning adventure with us.

Yes. A digital, view-only copy of your worksheet can be found in the Cogito Concierge for your level. You’ll be able to engage with the lesson using the digital copy only as our pedagogy has been designed with the experience in mind.

You can do the work on foolscap or in your Personal English Notebook (PEN). Submit your work online, through the Assignments section in your Cogito Concierge.

We will either: (a) courier a new worksheet to you or (b) arrange for you to get a fresh copy when we see you on campus for your next lesson!
