Task Actions
Define specific types of actions for learners to take while learning, such as watching a video or reading a document. More actions will be released in 2026.
Automatic Completion
Define the conditions under which learner work can be considered complete, and Headrush will automatically mark it done on their behalf.
Better Administration
Assign editors to Warehouse categories, Landing Pages, and even delegate administration of learner groups and passwords to individual teachers.
Where was Headrush in 2025?
Being in community and working with innovators across the country in 2025 was a constant source of energy for our team. From days spent with forward-thinking partners in the Denver metro area (including VALE), to productive working sessions with the JAG National team in Kansas City, Louisville, and Indianapolis, to the conferences we supported—hosting the 4th Annual Projects, Pedagogy & Play Conference, sponsoring the FullScale Symposium and TeacherPowered, and joining the MAAP Conference—the work never feels like work when the impact is this clear.
