Product Update Custom Lessons

You asked for more agency when creating Custom Lessons and the ThinkCERCA team has answered that call. Our new Custom Lessons experience allows you to combine ThinkCERCA's framework for teaching critical thinking and expressing arguments with readings and writing prompts of your own creation. Watch the short video below to see how easy it is to create a Custom Lesson.

How to Create a Custom Lesson

1. Go to the ThinkCERCA Tab.

3. Click on the + icon to start the lesson creation.
