The challenge

  • Looking for an LMS that tailors course content to the specific needs of each student
  • Prioritized platforms with access to advanced metrics and analytics
  • Needed a solution that is scalable to support school growth

Instituto Cenca needed an LMS that could customize course content to fit the specific needs of each student, ensuring a more personalized learning experience. They also sought platforms that provided advanced metrics and analytics, allowing for detailed insights into student progress and performance. At the same time, the institution required a scalable solution to accommodate future growth, ensuring that their educational model could expand smoothly as the school continued to grow.

The solution

  • High quality, digital learning for all ages (K-12)
  • Educational processes that are more dynamic and student-centered
  • AI 360 features improving overall engagement

By implementing CYPHER Learning, Instituto Cenca addressed its core challenges, such as improving learning personalization and scaling its educational model effectively. The platform’s real-time analytics and tailored approach have not only enhanced the overall educational process, but also boosted student outcomes. Since using CYPHER, our educational model has become more dynamic and student-centered.

Initially, there was a perception that an LMS was exclusively for higher education. However, Cenca broke this paradigm by integrating CYPHER Learning to provide all its students — from preschool, elementary, middle, to high school—with a high-quality digital learning experience.

By adopting the platform, the institute has delivered a fully digital educational experience to 100% of its students, tailored to their individual learning needs and paces across different levels. This implementation facilitated access to interactive content and integrated gamification tools into classrooms, making learning more engaging and dynamic.

Instituto Cenca also used AI 360 to boost student engagement with interactive learning modules and personalized skills tracking. With real-time feedback and tailored learning pathways, students are able to progress at their own pace. Data-driven insights also enabled educators to refine teaching strategies and better support individual student growth.

“CYPHER Learning addressed Instituto Cenca's main challenges by improving learning personalization, providing real-time analytics, and enabling effective scalability of the educational model. This optimized the educational process, offered a more tailored education to each student's needs, improved overall results, and supported the institution's growth.”

The results

  • 25% increased engagement and digital participation
  • 35% overall academic improvement
  • Improvements in the core competencies of their learning model

Since implementing the CYPHER platform, we have observed significant improvements in students’ skills, competencies, and knowledge retention, particularly in the five key competencies of the Cenca educational model: critical thinking, communication, innovation, teamwork, and research.

  • Critical thinking: CYPHER enables students to develop analysis and reflection skills
  • Communication: The platform facilitates constant interaction between students and teachers
  • Innovation: CYPHER introduces modern pedagogical methodologies and digital resources
  • Teamwork: Collaborative activities and group projects are fostered
  • Research: CYPHER provides tools and resources for accessing up-to-date information

Our students’ experience with the platform has been overwhelmingly positive. They find CYPHER makes learning more interesting and fun, particularly through interactive and personalized activities. Teachers appreciate the tracking tools, which allow them to adjust teaching methods based on student progress. Additionally, consolidating academic, behavioral, and attendance data in one platform has improved productivity for reporting purposes.

We have also seen measurable improvements in the following areas:

  • Increase in digital participation: Student engagement increased by 25% in courses that incorporate interactive and personalized elements, leading to greater commitment and motivation.
  • Improved academic performance measurement: Academic performance measurement improved by 35% due to the platform's ability to conduct both group and personalized assessments, enabling more precise tracking tailored to each student's needs.
  • Enhancements in annual course creation: 100% of teachers developed their own courses with AI 360 for the 2024-2025 cycle, a significant improvement compared to previous cycles where only plans were created without the possibility of a fully structured course from the start.

"CYPHER Learning has transformed our way of teaching and learning, making education more dynamic, personalized, and accessible for all our students. It has allowed us to be a pioneering basic education institute in integrating an LMS ecosystem."
