The Snowflake education platform provides ready-to-use packages with intended learning outcomes, preparatory material (online lectures, student assignments, readings and reading lists), seminar activities (board games, role plays and case-based seminars), follow-up student assignments and a complete examination infrastructure (computerised tests and assignment marking tools). Each package consists of all the material that the teacher would need to plan and deliver the learning package, including teacher guides and manuals.

The LTI integration lets the students access your Snowflake Education course modules directly via Canvas. Also, the grade passback functionality is used to pass back the grades given on the Snowflake education system back to Canvas.

Some of our learning packages

To get full details of the learning packages you need a teacher account on the platform. Contact us to get one, see below. The learning packages and the platform itself is also available in Swedish.
