Conectados and iLrn™ provide a seamless experience

in and out of the classroom, connecting students with

the Spanish-speaking world, with other academic

disciplines, and with each other. What’s more,

Conectados engages all students with the language,

regardless of how they learn. Visual learners

benefit from illustration-, photographic-, or video-

based instruction. Auditory learners find ample audio

and video recordings to facilitate their studies.

Kinesthetic learners enjoy the interactivity of the

instructional and practice screens in iLrn. Students

who like to work alone, students who prefer to work

in a group, students who work quickly, students

who need more time—they’re all supported by

Conectados and iLrn.

Conectados was created to address a variety of

course formats: face-to-face, hybrid, and online, all

of which require varying amounts of in-class and

online time. Conectados is easily adapted to your

course’s particular needs.
