Odyssey of Learning
Technology for Home and School
By DJuana Wambold
Dear Parents:
Titan Hill is excited about technology! Our school has chosen
to use Compass Learning Odyssey®, a Web-based curriculum, to
enhance your child’s educational experience. In order to proceed
successfully with your home use, the workstation must be properly
set up, including browser and plug-in installation. Pop-up blockers
must be turned off.
This program is aligned with the NWEA testing that your child takes three times a year. It allows teachers to provide practice that is at your child's learning level. It is a great way to give your child extra guided experiences and also raise test scores at the same time. Another benefit to this program is that it is accessible from both home and school.Yes, parents can also monitor their child's progress.
There are two ways to access Compass Learning Odyssey®. First, go to www.lewiscentral.org.and click on the Titan Hill Intermediate tab. On the bottom right hand you should see the Odyssey button. This will take you right to the site. Secondly, you may go to http://odyssey.lewiscentral.k12.ia.us.
This document is designed to help you and your child get off to
a good start by providing the
information necessary to complete the workstation setup. Online
resources can be accessed from the Resources page available in the
navigation bar after you log in.
Workstation Setup
To ensure that a workstation is properly set up to run the Compass
Learning Odyssey® program, you will need to verify that all minimum
software requirements are met. A requirements list is available by
clicking the System
Requirements button on the LC Compass Learning Odyssey home
page.
The system check option on the System Requirements page provides
assistance in this effort by checking the operating system, browser
version, specific browser settings, and plug-ins. Click the Check
System button to start the system check. You can easily see which
requirements have not yet been met and access the appropriate Web
sites via the links provided.
Detailed information on browser settings can be found in the
Compass Learning Odyssey® Support section, available from the
Compass Learning Odyssey® home page.
