=** Introduction **= The District has subscribed to Atomic Learning for several years. In the past, Atomic Learning was just a database of tutorials. It still has that component, but the content has shifted more into the 21st Century, incorporated pedagogy, and become more of a full-service learning platform. The idea of Atomic Learning is for staff and students to self-select targeted areas of learning. Additionally, assessments or pre-prescribed course offerings can be targeted to specific users or groups of users.
