In addition to providing fast, efficient delivery over the web, we offer intensive data collection, robust reporting, and sophisticated usage management.
Assessment
Content providers should strongly consider computer-aided instructional materials for both skill building and assessment because they allow the
participants’ needs to be reassessed constantly and the curriculum material to
be changed accordingly. Not only does the CurriculaWorks system assess the performance of your learners, but also the effectiveness of your learning materials themselves, determining which parts of the content do the best job in preparing students.
The Explode the Code workbook system is a systematic phonics program featuring carefully sequenced phonetic elements and patterns. The CurriculaWorks-powered online versionETC Onlineadds a multisensory environment, internet-wide access, strong auditory reinforcement, sophisticated branching delivery, student/class management features, and high-resolution data
analysis. As a student progresses through ETC Online, his or her needs are constantly being reassessed, and the curriculum material changes accordingly. Moreover, it provides additional practice for students on particular
skills when they need it and
before they move on to more complex
skills. Thus students who need additional
practice receive additional practice; student who have mastered a skill-set are advanced to new challenges.
Comprehensive online reporting enables parents and teachers to identify specific skills requiring extra reinforcement and practice for each student. Parents and teachers can then work with students on those specific skills. For example in 2005-06, one student showed difficulty in
mastering the skill
"diagraphs with silent e". As a result, the teacher created
an activity for that student that provided additional reinforcement of
"diagraphs with silent e" to work on 15 minutes each day for the next three
days. Another student showed weakness in
"syllable division with open syllables". In this case, the teacher adjusted the
computer software to provide additional reinforcement over the next four
tutoring sessions. Thus, instructors can
utilize the rich assessment tools available to prescribe changes in the
intensity of the intervention or additional instructional support based on the
individual student’s needs.
