Callido learning vs Hex

Improving student outcomes through the explicit measurement and development of critical thinking, research and writing skills.

Callido is improving student outcomes by enabling any school to develop critical thinkers with plug-and-play resources for explicitly tracking and developing students' critical thinking, problem-solving, research and communication skills.

All educators agree that the purpose of education is to develop students into critical thinkers. However, translating this into action is difficult due to the lack of a roadmap for skills, constrained teacher time and legacy reporting systems which do not show progress on skills.

Callido makes this easy by providing:

(i) a roadmap for critical thinking, problem-solving, research and communication skills at each grade (ii) digital assessments to understand each student's starting point (iii) blended learning resources for the targeted development of each skill (iv) data dashboards to track students' growth year on year

Our solutions save schools over 400 hours, and are 10x cheaper than the next best alternative - replicating all of these resources and expertise in-house. Since inception, we have partnered with leading schools in over 18 countries.

From 0 to Big Data in 1 hour

Our Hex is your personal data center on your desk. It's a cluster of 6 computers with each a 4-core CPU, 2 GB of memory and 1TB hard disk drive. Times 6 = 24 cores for processing, 12GB of working memory and 6TB of data storage. That is quite some data processing power at your fingertips!

Moreover, the Hex is fully pre-assembled and pre-installed for you. You only have to provide it with a network uplink and power and browse to our custom built management console to operate your Hex. The dashboard gives also access to our Tint library, which is like the appstore on your smartphone but for distributed technologies: with the click of a button you install Hadoop, Cassandra, ElasticSearch, etc. Next to technologies we also provide tutorials and publicly available datasets.

Bootstrapping your next Big Data project really becomes as easy as 1-2-3: power your Hex, browse to the console and install your favourite technology. Within 1 hour of time you should be able to also install a dataset and build your first Big Data program, guided by any of the tutorials.
