live-action interactive courseware |
|
Our live-action courses are changing the way people are being educated. Instead of passive learning, students actually get into the heads of other people as they learn and make sense of the material. This is the way distance learning should be. Students watch and listen to real students solving real problems. Critical thinking and basic skills are further reinforced with virtual quizzes and step-by-step guidance in problem solving from a virtual instructor. The result? Students develop real understanding of ideas and concepts through application; they don't simply try to memorize facts and procedures. And self-pacing means adult learners progress at a pace that makes sense for them. We are reinventing the meaning of distance learning and literacy education.
