THE IDEA

Critical Mind, in a few words.

Critical Mind is the learning and game app. Browse the technique encyclopedia, work through lessons, and practice deciding which techniques appear in an example. Critical Reading is a separate companion for analyzing text.

For curious readers, learners, educators and media-literacy partners.

WHERE IT STANDS

Playable browser prototype

Try the current app in your browser. English localization is partial: some lessons and labels remain in Russian. This is a prototype, so detection and exercises may need refinement.

The browser demo is built from the existing app. Learning exercises are not a validated measure of critical-thinking ability.
