We believe in instruction that produces results. You want to be able to assess strengths and weaknesses of your program as well as those of your learners. You want to know if you're meeting program objectives and if your learners are meeting their learning objectives. Bottom line, you want to know if your program is working.

Our built-in Learning Management System provides an easy-to-use measuring tool. From start to finish, you and your students will have an on-demand tool that allows learners and instructors to know in real time how each learner is progressing against the learning objectives.

We define results as student success, not just in our GED courses, but in the workplace and in life. It is this larger picture of success that we believe is important for an adult learning program.

We measure results by how we improve the learner's thinking skills. This is our curriculum's central focus. It's not enough for a student to remember that volume equals length times width times height. What does that actually mean? Can the student use it to solve real problems? So we include the background behind even the simplest concepts: Solid discussion of assumptions, inferences, evaluation, and analysis thread every lesson in every course. Our students not only learn the skills and knowledge they need to pass the rigorous GED exams, they learn the skills needed to solve problems, think critically, and make sound decisions. This is the stuff that builds success and it's applicable to education, work, and life.

We get results with cutting-edge instructional design. Using learning principles often found in computer gaming, we've designed instructional experiences that are interactive, self-fulfilling, dynamic, motivational and even addictive. Our virtual classmates are real people, doing real things, solving real problems in real life. Students experience real struggles, learn patience, and of course, achieve real successes.

We get results with continuous, instantaneous feedback, a core component critical to quality educational programs. Every lesson includes plenty of feedback that continually engages students in the learning process:

• Narrative Feedback-- Real-life characters work through relevant stories and problems
• Audio/Visual Feedback-- Visual examples of problems, with character narrative, and explanation
• Instant Feedback to measure progress-- Every lesson includes testing opportunities and scoring

We get results because we've created an online social networking community where our adult learners-- and yours-- interact with their peers, teachers, and supporters. Students belong. They participate in a network of blogs, chat rooms, forums, and podcasts that bring them together with people, who like themselves, are engaged in, and sometimes struggling with, the task of reeducation. The result is a very powerful student-driven learning community where mature learners find the support they need to overcome barriers, boost skills, and achieve educational and career goals, regardless of where they live or where they are on the learning curve.

We get results because we're student-focused. Lots of learning solutions providers make that claim. We stand on it. Hundreds of adult learners have contributed, and continue to contribute, to our research and courseware development, and they've defined the materials, motivation, and results they need to succeed.
