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)
