BrainCogs, an interactive multi-sensory program, was designed to tap into student learning styles to develop personalized strategies that will help before, during and after a test. Students will "oil" their "rusty brain cogs" to find-tune Organizing, Remembering, Prioritizing, Shifting, and Checking skills.

Students learn to draw upon their own natural skills and thought processes. The strategies are taught in the context of real-life situations, and can be adapted to any subject or situation that a student may face. These strategies are grouped according to cognitive processes. Students are first introduced to the concepts, and can go through the detailed information at their own pace, reading text or having it read aloud to them. This is followed by activities that allow students to practice what they just learned, and to reinforce the concepts in a fun, engaging way. There are also short animated movies that help explain the concepts.

The Remembering and Organizing cogs contain strategies to help before students take a test, the Prioritizing and Shifting cogs contain strategies to help students during a test, and the Checking cog contains strategies to help students after, or upon completion, of a test.

Students answer questions that test both their knowledge and their preference of the strategies. They can print out a certificate that shows which strategies worked best for them and also which ones they said they liked the best.

An administration tool on the CD allows teachers follow the progress of students to see how well they performed on the activities.

BrainCogs is fully installable. The CD does not need to be in the drive.
