About Civics360

Civics360 is an instructional tool designed and developed by the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship at the University of Central Florida.

Civics360 is an interactive civics review tool to help Florida students improve their understanding of civics by targeting the civic knowledge and skills necessary to succeed on Florida’s Civics End-of-Course Assessment.
Civics360 is funded by the Lou Frey Institute at the University of Central Florida and provided by the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship.

While designed for a Florida audience, the resources provided may be compatible with civics and government standards taught throughout the United States.

This site is organized into module pages, each of which covers learning benchmarks by providing the following learning tools:

  • Videos: Narrated student friendly videos that review the important content for each benchmark
  • Viewing Guides: Viewing guides for each video to assist student notetaking and review
  • Readings: Student friendly readings for each benchmark clarification, available in English, Haitian Creole, Spanish and Russian. Portuguese translations are forthcoming
  • Vocabulary: Vocabulary concept circles and games to practice civics vocabulary
  • Review Questions: Quizzes, which contain End-of-Course Assessment-style guided review questions for each benchmark
  • Practice Test: End-of-Course Assessment Practice Test
  • Resource Links: Additional resources to facilitate learning and review, such as links to interactive civics lessons

Teachers and students may choose which features to use, so there is no one correct way to use this website. We at the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship encourage you to select and use the resources that will be most beneficial to you as a student. If you are a teacher, you will find these resources helpful in your civics instruction. Simply navigate to the module page that covers the benchmark material you are trying to learn or teach.
