breakout-learning
AI-evaluated oral discussions and assessments that broaden student participation and reduce educator grading work.
About breakout-learning
Breakout Learning is an educational platform for instructors who want spoken participation and oral assessment without managing every conversation live. It supports AI-evaluated interactive discussions, solo oral exams, and alternatives to static discussion boards, helping educators involve every student while reducing grading work. Course experiences use interactive, customizable NextBook modules. The product can support a full-semester course, a shorter course with up to four modules, a single lesson or pilot, or supplementary material purchased module by module. Pricing is charged per enrolled student: unlimited NextBook costs $99, the four-module option costs $40, and both the single-module NextBook and pay-per-module option cost $15. Instructors can match scope to a course, while enrollment size directly affects total cost.
