Pathways Learning Studio is the next step forward for Pathways Assessment (formerly ELS) and Pathways Learning (formerly ScootPad), bringing together assessments, mastery learning, analytics, and instructional resources in one environment - making teaching and assessment easier and helping students to succeed.

Teachers and administrators will now land on the Pathways Learning Studio dashboard immediately after signing in, rather than going directly to the Learning module. This improved experience provides a central place to view the latest product news and offers easier access to other purchased modules within the platform.

No, you won't need to learn a completely new system. All the features and capabilities you currently use will still be available. While the look and navigation have been updated to make the experience smoother, the core functionality you rely on remains unchanged.

Your new experience will begin on March 30, 2026.

To log in, you should use the main sign-in page or Single Sign-on methods (Clever/ClassLink/Google), just as you normally would. You will then be automatically and smoothy redirected to the Pathways Learning Studio Sign-in page.

Bookmarked links for ScootPad.com will continue to function, automatically redirecting you to Pathways Learning Studio, but we strongly recommend that you go ahead and update your bookmark to PathwaysLearningStudio.com.

The updated whitelisting requirements were distributed to district contacts in December 2025.

To comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the option for teachers and administrators to change their account theme color has been removed.

Existing data is accessible once the Learning module is launched.

The classic version of the module previously known a ScootPad is no longer available.

While you cannot customize your Pathways Learning Studio dashboard, you can add quick access to your preferred AI Teacher Tools by starring them, which will allow them to appear in the dedicated "Starred tools" section of the dashboard.

AI Teacher Tools can be accessed under the Resources module in the left navigation menu.

Learning checks are located within the Learning module of Pathways Learning Studio. You can access the Content Library, which contains all Learning Checks, by selecting the "Learning Checks" tile or the corresponding link in the left navigation menu.
