| live-action interactive courseware |
| Our live-action courses are changing the w ay people are 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 questions. 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 learn through understanding and application, not memorization. And self-pacing means adult learners learn at a pace that makes sense for them. We are reinventing the meaning of distance learning and literacy education.

Our courseware features a unique feedback system that gives the student immediate results on their learning. Results are compiled on a Report Card that is always accessible. Besides recording learning results, the report card predicts student readiness for the GED exams.
