The Interactive Lesson Planner enables teachers to organize lesson plans while using content from any of the site's books or content areas. The Web-based Test Generator allows instructors to create custom tests that can be distributed and scored online. Using the Online Activity Engines, teachers can create activities from templates. The Report Writer's Assistant allows students to gather information and resources from the site's content areas, and organize them into a report. Teachers can also store grades, track students' progress and prepare reports for parents using the Teacher and Administration Grade Book.
