Keep teaching despite disruption
CYPHER has flexibility, tools, and support needed when things change
Be ready when teaching can't happen as planned
It’s nearly impossible to predict if and when disaster will strike. When it does, the impact can be immediate and incredibly disruptive, halting in-person learning and forcing teachers and administrators to come up with creative solutions to prevent learning from coming to a halt. And that is no easy task.
Are you struggling to…
Keep learning moving when students and teachers can't access the classroom
Quickly move lessons and resources online when circumstances change
Keep students, teachers, and families informed and connected during disruption
Understand student engagement and progress when learning happens remotely
Support students with different learning needs, circumstances, and levels of access
Adapt learning quickly without dramatically increasing teacher workload
Stay ready to teach. Wherever learning happens.
CYPHER brings content creation, teaching, communication, personalization, assessment, and progress tracking together in one AI-native platform. Educators can quickly adapt learning for remote delivery, keep students connected, personalize support, and see where additional guidance is needed. With learning resources and tools already in one place, schools can respond to disruption faster while giving teachers and students greater continuity wherever learning happens.
Give students support beyond the classroom
When teachers and students can't be together, access to support becomes even more important. CYPHER Agent helps learning continue by giving students contextual AI support wherever they're learning. With CYPHER Agent, students can explore concepts, ask questions, and practice their knowledge and skills when a teacher isn't immediately available. It helps students apply what they've learned and build confidence.
For educators, CYPHER Agent also accelerates content creation, helping them adapt and create learning experiences faster when circumstances change.
Traditional way vs CYPHER’s approach
When learning is disrupted, schools shouldn't have to piece together a new digital environment overnight. CYPHER keeps the essential parts of teaching and learning connected, making it easier to move between classroom and remote learning as circumstances change.

Be better prepared for disaster:
The PIE processge.
Educational continuity starts before disruption happens. The Plan, Implement, Evaluate (PIE) framework helps schools think through the technology, resources, people, and processes they need to keep learning moving when circumstances change.
PLAN
Understand access, technology, learning needs, resources and teacher readiness. Planning can be done by a teacher for their classroom, or as part of a group of educators and edtech specialists. Consider:
- Set clear objectives. Set goals and objectives for what you’re trying to achieve.
- Assess your school’s capability. Find out what is your school’s technological and pedagogical capability for remote learning.
- Identify barriers and constraints. Do learners have access to technology and Internet access at home?
- Get to know your students. Know your students’ learning styles so you can develop the right approach.
- Ensure teacher readiness. Make sure that all teachers know how to deliver a virtual class.
IMPLEMENT
Implementation is the key phase in which planned strategies are put into action. Make content accessible, connect teachers and students, and provide the right digital learning activities. Key components include:
- Content availability. Make sure your content is available on a digital platform and that it’s aligned with your technology and pedagogy.
- The right digital tools. Evaluate your current digital tools, like an LMS, and their potential for remote learning.
- The right learning activities. Learning will be virtual and remote, and you want to make sure the platform can support these activities. Some of the virtual activities that work well are: Discussion forums, debate assignments, wikis, online groups, web-conferencing, group chat, quizzes, and freeform assessments.
EVALUATE
Monitor participation and progress, gather feedback, and adjust the learning experience as circumstances evolve. Evaluation is the way to know if the implementation has been successful, with three key components:
- Guide. Show teachers, students, and parents how to accommodate remote learning.
- Monitor. Keep track of teachers’ and students’ progress and develop an effective feedback system.
- Adjust. Make the necessary adjustments to your implementation. Upgrade, innovate and update as often as needed.

This way, you can intervene and ensure students who need additional support receive it and keep pace, even during disaster.
Easily monitor and assess student performance
The platform offers advanced analytics and reporting tools, including completion progress tracking, student activity timelines, and ad-hoc reporting. These features enable educators to monitor and assess student performance and engagement under normal circumstances or disaster.
Real customers, real impact
“The disaster due to the volcanic eruption followed by the Covid-19 pandemic, led to the full integration of CYPHER in all grade levels. CYPHER prepared us to face the unexpected challenges of remote learning.”
Dr. Lolita F. Tegon,
University of Batangas
“Despite the distance, students can still learn and study in their respective homes. Likewise, teachers can keep on with conducting their lectures and educating the younger generation. It provides the flexibility and accessibility they need to ensure normalcy in their day-to-day routine.”
Dr. Emily Mabborang,
University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao
“CYPHER provided a go to platform for all students, teachers and administrators to have as their online learning management system. Before, when resources were scattered across different platforms it was hard to know where to go to find things. But now CYPHER acts as our online presence so that teachers and students can truly interact and learn skills."
