Upgrade Courses

Math Upgrade,Reading Upgrade & Comprehension Upgrade courses work through standard internet web browsers. There is no software to install.

Teachers and students access the program using a user name and password at www.learningupgrade.com

The Upgrade courses can play on almost any internet-connected computer available. The listing on the right gives the approximate requirements for the program for standard computers. The best way to check compatibility with a specific computer is to play our demo program by selecting "Demo" at the top of the page on our web site. If the sample lessons play successfully, then the actual program should work equally well.

The Upgrade courses contain multimedia lessons featuring songs, games and animation. To play without delays that can reduce student motivation, the program requires a High speed Internet connection. This includes the direct (T1 or DSL) connections used in most schools. Telephone connections to the internet cause delays between lessons that may frustrate some students.

The best way to check this is to play our Demo from the computer in question.
