Lumio gets a glow-up!

Over the last few weeks, 44 team members from across the globe came together to give Lumio many small but mighty feature improvements. Thousands of cups of coffee were consumed and countless hours were spent enhancing the tool you love. As a result, we’re pleased to announce several feature improvements to level up student engagement, save you time when creating content, and simplify your lesson planning workflow.

Drumroll….
