LoiLo Notebook Partners with COMPASS's Inquiry Learning Library "SPARKE" to Offer Compatible Educational Materials

LoiLo Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representatives: Koji Sugiyama, Ryutaro Sugiyama; hereinafter referred to as LoiLo), provider of the class support app "LoiLo Notebook School," has partnered with "SPARKE (Spark)," an inquiry learning library for elementary and junior high schools jointly developed by COMPASS Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo; Representative: Jun Sato; hereinafter referred to as COMPASS) and Shogakukan集英社Production Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; President: Satoshi Matsui; hereinafter referred to as ShoPro).

This collaboration enables the use of inquiry learning program materials provided by SPARKE within LoiLo Notebook School.

Background

SPARKE has been offering inquiry learning programs that connect real-world society with curriculum learning to schools and teachers free of charge. Its design, which packages video materials, worksheets, teacher's guides, and lesson slides for immediate use in classes without the burden of preparation, has been highly praised and utilized by over 50,000 students in elementary and junior high schools nationwide.

On the other hand, teachers using the program have expressed a desire for features such as "distributing worksheets digitally," "sharing student ideas in real-time," and "managing the entire process from reflection to evaluation." These needs align with the functional strengths of LoiLo Notebook School, leading to the provision of materials in a format compatible with LoiLo Notebook School. This initiative aims to reduce the preparation and implementation burden for teachers while promoting collaborative learning among students.
