• contains nearly 100 interactive activities where both faculty and students can apply – and therefore internalize – critical thinking concepts and principles. Sections in the Academy include the Wheel of Reason, Reading & Writing Alcove, and Virtuous Virtues (focused on the development of intellectual character).

• offers study groups guided by our Fellows and Scholars, which you and your students may join, as well as study groups you can create.

How does the membership process work once we purchase the membership?

Whoever purchases the institutional key is designated the institution’s administrator, and that person sets the rules by which the institution’s other users abide. Institutional membership accounts differ from regular accounts in that they can have either full or reduced access to certain portions of the site, depending on the rules set by the institution’s administrator. Additionally, the administrator can add or delete accounts within your institutional membership at will.

We suggest watching this video tutorial to help further understand what the website can offer you and your students, faculty, staff, or team. We are happy to walk you through the process of using the site once you join as an institution.
