Pro ($15 / student / year) Adds the Business Startup Simulator (Startup Simulator Settings in Quick Links) plus access to OpenStax courses from Rice University in your Assigned Courses library.
District (Custom Pricing) Unlocks the Administrator Portal for school- or district-wide oversight, plus SIS and LMS integrations (Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, etc.) and priority support.
