We’ve been hard at work on new improvements to BrainPOP—including renovations and feature enhancements to better support learning at all levels—which are now live and ready for Back to School 2024. Improved reporting and new learning activities are built to build students’ background knowledge and vocabulary, differentiate instruction, and track and celebrate learning outcomes.
To account for behind-the-scenes work for these updates, you’ll find that some activities, reports, and functionality are temporarily unavailable. Student assignments and saved projects have also been cleared from dashboards.
This is a temporary measure while our Product and Engineering teams improve our site's backend. We appreciate your understanding as we create a more powerful and engaging learning experience for all our users. Below is an overview of the learning activities and the timing of their availability.

Assignments and Saved Projects Have Been Cleared
With our recent updates, we’ve had to clear some data as of July 7, 2024. If you had any previous assignments or projects, they've now been cleared from your dashboard. Going forward, any assignments and projects you create will remain on your Dashboard under “My Projects."
