Welcome to Relatable Learning and JUICE!  

​

We are Relatable Learning, a public benefit corporation dedicated to expanding adult learners' access and opportunities to build the basic math, literacy, and problem solving skills they need for the jobs they want.

​

Over 35 million US adults need better foundational math and literacy skills to reach their life and career goals

 

At Relatable Learning our mission is to reduce barriers and expand access to education and training for adult learners by providing new, more integrated and contextualized tools for building the foundational math, literacy, and problem-solving competencies they need to succeed.

​

We are pleased to share this endorsement of JUICE's online tutorial and skill building capabilities for job training from CASAS.org, the nationally respected adult education assessment provider:

 

“JUICE has the potential to dramatically increase access and utilization of valuable Integrated and Education Training (IET) and Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) government funding sources for adult education and training. ”

​

With the JUICE learning system, teachers and trainers can target specific foundational skills necessary for educational and job training purposes. They can enable individual students to work independently to build and practice those skills in real-world problem-solving contexts.  After grant-funded development and extensive pilot testing, we are now offering JUICE learning services to adult schools and career training program partners.

 

Empowering interactive & game-based learning
​

Our unique interactive and game-based learning design is research-validated, based solidly on adult learning theory, and follows a competency-based tutorial learning approach. JUICE succeeds at motivating adults, helping them understand and practice applying skills in real world and career-specific contexts. JUICE is proven to help adult learners build persistence and celebrate their own success. 

 

Learners starting at different levels can make different choices and all get the amount of tutorial support, feedback, and practice they need. 

 

With flexible online linking and mobile access, teachers and curriculum builders can easily incorporate links to JUICE lessons and interactive resources in online assignments. By providing JUICE links where and when student are most likely to need review and practice, programs can deliver the tutorial guidance and support that many students need to complete assignments and keep on track. 

With easy online and mobile access for self-guided study, JUICE interactive and game-based tutorials enable adults to independently practice skills in real life and job-specific contexts.

 

Even for older adult learners, JUICE's self-directed learning design is proven to motivate and support them as they independently guide their own learning and practice. JUICE has a track record of enabling many adult learners to break through to mastery with confidence in their skills.
 

Proven results

Along with extensive pilot testing and positive feedback from teachers, assessors, and learners, our research results provide promising evidence.

 

The JUICE independent grant-funded research study showed that when online college course assignments offered contextually relevant links to JUICE lessons for review of a required foundational skill, over half of the learners chose to use JUICE for independent review and practice, resulting in improved persistence: 

​

The JUICE grant-funded research study provides substantially
promising evidence of improved student retention:

>  11% higher retention for all JUICE users

>  17% higher retention for users age 26 and over

 

Flexible, integrated skill building

​

JUICE's modular competency-based skills library makes it easy to direct a class or individual students to specific JUICE lessons for skills they need to review and practice.

 

For example, you can link students in career training classes to specific skills they need apply on the job, such as finding percentages, measuring for perimeter, communicating with the correct verb tense, or correcting punctuation errors.

 

JUICE puts each learner in the driver's seat. The choice and depth of tutorial learning and practice options all work together to encourage persistence and completion​. ​​

 

Designed specifically for adults, JUICE motivates each learner to make learning choices, set their own pace, and get as much practice they need.

 

JUICE games enable learners to informally check their skills, practice in problem-solving contexts, and get detailed feedback and encouragement. These self-guided interactive choices motivate learners to try again and get the practice they need to build confidence for real-world and on-the-job responsibilities.
