Common questions
What does Core Learning Exchange do?
Core-LX provides career and technical education (CTE) for grades 6 through 14: curriculum fitted to your state standards and labs, diagnostic certification test prep, a turnkey LMS or LTI delivery into yours (a full LMS-to-LMS connection or individual content links), and custom course design. Socrat Tutor Agent, a Socratic AI tutor, works in every lesson.
How is Core-LX different from other CTE curriculum providers?
Most providers sell one piece of a CTE program: a course library, a practice-test bank or a platform. Core-LX provides all four pieces from one partner, and fits each course to your standards, your equipment and your teachers instead of shipping a fixed box.
Does Core-LX work with our LMS?
Yes. Core-LX content is LTI-compliant and deploys to Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, D2L and Blackboard through LTI. Students sign on through Google, Clever, Microsoft or ClassLink, rosters sync from your SIS through OneRoster, and scores return to your gradebook.
Which certifications does Core-LX prepare students for?
90+ certifications and exams, including CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft Office Specialist, NHA, AAMA, NCCER, MSSC, NIMS, ServSafe, the FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, ACT WorkKeys, the GED, TSIA2 and the ASVAB.
