Why students learn faster.
“The GED® Academy is a fundamentally different way of educating the adult learner. Through groundbreaking technology, learners receive one-on-one personal tutoring based on a dynamic assessment process that determines the best learning path for the student.
“Like a personal tutor, the GED Academy prep program constantly reassesses the learner’s achievement and recommends instruction that will best meet the learner’s needs.
“Students learn better because they learn by doing. They are required to think
actively about what is being studied in order to understand it. The result is
faster and more effective retention.
Here’s why your students will be more successful.”
Four reasons why . . .
Content is engaging and self-motivating.
Learners participate in a virtual classroom populated by a group of real-life characters that share the same problems, challenges, and background as the learner. The learner follows the path of the characters as they learn, fail, and succeed in their learning experiences.
Learners are engaged with multiple learning styles and cognitive levels.
Students are required to think actively about what is being studied in order to understand it. This is the core of the learning experience, understanding through doing. Students are given the opportunity to express their own ideas, try their ideas out, and ask questions.
Learners move through a structured learning experience.
Learning is structured in the same way it would be in the live classroom. Learners move through instruction, guided practice, independent practice, metacognition, and review. Each step along the learning path gives the learners process feedback on their progress toward their objectives and goals.
Learners are engaged in multiple levels of interaction.
Each lesson engages the student in six interactive experiences: doing, exploring, observing, reasoning, connecting emotionally to the content, and maintaining motivation. Lessons put learners in real-life situations where they have to make decisions, solve problems, and demonstrate their learning progress.
