Learn about our sustainable model for creating a meaningful and positive impact in higher education.
Education transforms lives, so Lyryx proudly advocates for access and affordability in higher education through the development of high-quality, but low cost educational resources. Our open textbooks are available worldwide at no cost to the user, and are enhanced by affordable educational software that facilitates course delivery by supporting instructors in their assessment, and assisting students in their mastery of the material. Additionally, Lyryx provides comprehensive editorial services and dedicated in-house support to ensure seamless integration of the material within the course itself. We believe that well-designed educational software, in our case, online homework and examinations, is an important part of the learning process as it provides an opportunity for students to practice and receive immediate, targeted feedback. Instructors’ time is also freed from creating/ grading assessments, allowing them to focus on the cognitive and social aspects of learning.
Lyryx publishes open textbooks (available to all) and supplements (for adopting instructors) with Creative Commons licenses, enabling a variety of permissions to adapt the material. The Lyryx editorial group works closely with authors and subject matter experts to develop and maintain high-quality content while also collaborating with the community by welcoming contributions.
Lyryx develops educational software to support student learning and course assessment.
The Lyryx online homework and examinations platform provides instructors with all the tools necessary to manage their course assessment. The Lyryx problems are designed by experienced instructors, and the Lyryx marking algorithms capture their expertise to analyze and assess students’ work, looking for common errors, consistent mistakes through multi-part questions, and arithmetic errors, to provide instant and informative personalized feedback.
Lyryx enhances textbooks with interactive activities in all electronic formats to encourage students in reading and learning course material. In addition, Lyryx has developed Engage, an active learning app specifically designed for this purpose.
Lyryx provides support 7 days / week to ensure seamless and effective integration and use of Lyryx material. The Lyryx support team assists instructors in getting their courses ready and remains available throughout to provide prompt and efficient assistance. At the same time, the team will assist students in an efficient manner so they can focus on learning the material.
