Explore custom curriculum designThree ways to deploy
1 · Turnkey
Our LMS, with the curriculum library built in
Run your program on the Core-LX Learning Management System, purpose-built for hybrid and virtual schools. Courses, AI tutoring, pacing, the gradebook and the parent portal are ready on day one.
2 · LMS to LMS
Connect your LMS to ours through LTI
Keep your LMS as the front door. Students launch from Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, D2L or Blackboard into full Core-LX courses, with single sign-on, roster sync and grades returned to your gradebook.
3 · LTI content links
Add our lessons to your own courses
Place individual Core-LX lessons, labs and diagnostics inside the courses you already teach, as LTI links. Each one opens in your LMS with the AI tutor and sends its score to your gradebook.
What students experience
AI-enabled lessons students want to open: a tutor that makes them think, coaches they can talk to, and things they can turn, take apart and try.
Socratic tutor conversations
Students talk through problems with Socrat Tutor Agent, which asks guiding questions instead of giving answers.
AI avatar coaches
Practice interviews, patient talks and customer calls with a live AI video agent.
Interactive 3D models
Turn, explore, find and name parts of bodies, animals, aircraft and equipment.
Every language, even right to left
Lesson, tutor and video localized into 30+ languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic and Hebrew.
AI explainer video
Short videos with an on-screen presenter, written for each lesson.
AI role-plays
Students practice real workplace conversations, and the character reacts to what they say.

Common questions
What does Core Learning Exchange do?
Core-LX provides career and technical education (CTE) for grades 6 through 14: curriculum fitted to your state standards and labs, diagnostic certification test prep, a turnkey LMS or LTI delivery into yours (a full LMS-to-LMS connection or individual content links), and custom course design. Socrat Tutor Agent, a Socratic AI tutor, works in every lesson.
Do we need our own LMS?
No. There are three ways to deploy: our turnkey Learning Management System with the curriculum library built in; an LMS-to-LMS connection, where your LMS connects to ours through LTI; or LTI content links that place individual Core-LX lessons inside your own courses in Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, D2L or Blackboard.
How is Core-LX different from other CTE curriculum providers?
Most providers sell one piece of a CTE program: a course library, a practice-test bank or a platform. Core-LX provides all four pieces from one partner, and fits each course to your standards, your equipment and your teachers instead of shipping a fixed box.
Does Core-LX work with our LMS?
Yes. Core-LX content is LTI-compliant and deploys to Canvas, Schoology, Moodle, D2L and Blackboard through LTI. Students sign on through Google, Clever, Microsoft or ClassLink, rosters sync from your SIS through OneRoster, and scores return to your gradebook.
Which certifications does Core-LX prepare students for?
90+ certifications and exams, including CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft Office Specialist, NHA, AAMA, NCCER, MSSC, NIMS, ServSafe, the FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, ACT WorkKeys, the GED, TSIA2 and the ASVAB.
