With most schools going the distance learning route this fall, it’s more important now than ever that students have access to learning materials and practice exams that can help them prepare for the certifications at home.
We know many of your schools work with Chromebooks, so we wanted to break down which learning products and practice exam partners will work best on Chromebooks.
GMetrix Practice Tests
GMetrix Practice Tests are available for all our ACA, MOS, MTA, MTC, MCE, Apple, Autodesk, Communication Skills for Business, EC-Council, Entrepreneurship and Small Business, IC3 Digital Literacy, Unity and QuickBooks certifications. All certifications except MOS, ACA, and ACU are currently compatible with Chromebooks. However, MOS, ACA, and ACU practice tests require the GMetrix SMS, which must be downloaded, making it currently incompatible with Chromebooks. We are excited that later this fall browser-based GMetrix practice tests for Microsoft Office Specialist, Autodesk Certified User, and Adobe Certified Associate certifications will be available later this fall.
LearnKey
LearnKey aligns with our ACA, CSB, ESB, IC3, MOS, MTA, MTC, and QuickBooks certifications. LearnKey is also functional on a Chromebook.
Simulation labs, usable on Chromebooks, are available for MOS 365/2019, ACA CC 2018/2019/2020 courses, ACU CAD, Revit, and Inventor courses and QBCU courses. Autodesk projects, however, require the software, and are therefore, not accessible from a Chromebook. The same applies for QuickBooks and IC3 Digital Literacy’s Key Application projects. MTA, MTC, CSB, and ESB learning materials within LearnKey all have labs that do not require software installation and are therefore functional on Chromebooks.
LearnKey's Student Project Workbooks (PDF) will include activities like fill-in-the-blanks and projects along with files that will require the software to be installed. If students are working on a Chromebook, teachers should use the projects and file templates as instructional demonstrations for remote learning solutions. The lesson plans in the Teacher Workbook (PDF) outline where the Student Project Workbooks correlate to the videos and objectives.
Jasperactive
Jasperactive prepares students for MOS or IC3 GS5 certifications. The MOS course requires access to the Microsoft Office suite (2016, 2019, or O365) and should be used on a PC. The IC3 Digital Literacy course is completely browser-based and can be used on any device including Chromebooks and mobile devices.
