Navigator for All Collaborators

Collaborators will have access to Navigator's suite of tools. Using these tools learners experience a GPS-like journey for learning, instructors can monitor their learners and engage them with classroom practices, administrators can track performance and scale success, content providers can develop a greater audience, and collaborators can see real time data.

Navigator for Instructors

Navigator for Instructors helps instructors monitor learners' progress, engage the class with rich-media content, provides Go Live Assessments for real-time updates on learner understanding, and suggests additional activities to help learners achieve mastery.

Explore Navigator for INstructors


Monitor: Navigator provides performance overviews of classes and detailed data-dashboards with real-time data of where each learner is so instructors can understand their learners, make data informed decisions, and personalize interventions. 

Facilitate: Instructors can upload their own content or search Navigator's extensive curated catalog of resources aligned with curriculum standards and organize resources and questions into collections and assessments for use in the classroom. Navigator also offers instructors detailed rubrics to score complex assignments, like discussions, projects, and proofs.

Suggestions: Navigator suggests activities based on a learner’s performance. Instructors can assign the suggested learning activities or their own to an individual, small groups, or the whole class.

Go Live Assessments: Instructors can check learner understanding with Navigator's Go Live Assessments feature to see how each learner answers each question in real-time. Based on performance, instructors can reteach the concept, provide peer support, or small-group instruction.

  • locates each learner — their current knowledge, skills and mindsets.

  • curates learning activities that are used to personalize learning pathways.

  • mediates learning journey with suggestions of routes based on profile and reroutes based on their performance.

  • facilitates instructional practices where teachers can monitor learners’ progress and differentiate instruction.

  • integrates communities of practice among learners and educators so they support each other by sharing their practices, content, and answering each others questions.

Navigator Library

Content providers can develop new competency frameworks, crosswalk their standards to existing competency frameworks, and align existing curriculum to competencies. They can transform any curriculum into a Navigator course, containing both offline and online learning activities to ensure learners have access to a full range of learning experiences.

Catalog: Gooru’s current library has 4M+ resources with 15k+ collections and assessments, which we are continually expanding.

Framework: Navigator includes a competency framework for math, science, english language arts, and social studies for US K-12. These competencies are crosswalked to state and national standards and content providers verify the competency model and the crosswalks for their subjects and standards. Content providers can develop new competencies for post-secondary education, skills training, or professional learning, develop diagnostic assessments, as well as align and tag their existing curriculum to competency frameworks.

Structure Learning and Organize Content: For every discipline of learning, partners can collaborate with Gooru to develop the competency framework complete with Learning Maps. Existing curriculum can then be aligned to the competency framework to enable the navigation experience. A full-spectrum of learning activities can be organized as collections and assessments Learning activities and resources are organized into lessons with assessments to enable learners to gain proficiency in the related competencies.

Free-response questions: Navigator supports free-response questions scored using rubrics, as well as multiple-choice, multiple answers, fill in the blank, drag and drop, and true or false questions that can be used as part of collections or assessments.

Usage and Efficacy: Content providers can monitor the reach and efficacy of their curriculum with Navigator's real-time data dashboards. They gain insights into the type of user and context in which their curriculum is effectively used.

Mission Control

Mission Control provides administrators, principals, program coordinators, superintendents, researchers, funders, content providers, and others in the learning ecosystems with the ability to make data informed decisions.


Learning Gains: Leaders across the learning spectrum from principals to program coordinators, education secretaries to content providers, superintendents to CEOs can monitor the learning gains of their cohorts. Through a variety of reports with restricted, permission based access and anonymized data, administrators can plan their support to accelerate learning outcomes.

Competency Framework and Catalog: Navigator administrators get an overview of all their competency frameworks and how the learners are performing in them. They also get a deep understanding of the usage of their content within the ecosystem.

Research: Researchers from a variety of fields, including but not limited to data science, learning sciences, education, and cognitive sciences use Mission Control to incorporate their research and further it based on data. They can develop and test their curricular interventions across education and skills,  implement algorithms for reinforcement learning, or validate their hypotheses about learner mindsets.

  • integrates communities of practice among learners and educators so they support each other by sharing their practices, content, and answering each others questions.

NCore for Partners

NCore as a platform is the underlying technology powering the Navigator. NCore is available to partners via REST APIs that they can leverage to incorporate Navigated Learning technologies in their applications. Partners can enable several use cases for their users.


Locate the Learner: Activity stream data APIs will enable partners to locate their learners in any discipline and continuously track their progress.

Curated Catalog: Search APIs provide partners access to Gooru’s highly curated catalog to provide different types of learning content including offline activities such as rubric graded projects.

Nextgen LMS: Partners can integrate their LMS or SIS with a range of NCore APIs to leverage all of the Navigator’s capabilities to become a nextgen LMS.
