 One
key to successful learning is repetition. Practice does make perfect.
Imagine that while studying and learning grammar your students are also
reviewing and learning material presented in other courses such as history,
geography, literature, etc. That's just what customized courses can do
for you and your students.
GramTech was designed
by a teacher – it is structured just like a typical course. Traditional
chapters and lessons are reflected in the chapter and lesson types found
in the GramTech application. The chalk and paper problems presented in
the classroom and for homework are reflected in problem sentences stored
in a proprietary database. Customized courses are those built with problem
sentences created using specific content. For example, a course could
be created using sentences which contain content from US history only.
Just like any other
teaching tool, GramTech must be age/difficulty appropriate and contain
fresh material to hold interest. That is why GramTech for schools offers
six standard courses to follow a student from third to to eighth grade.
In addition, Academic Visions offers customized courses to schools, home
study groups, or textbook publishers. The courses can be built to complement
your school's curriculum. Courses could be geared towards reviewing topics
while learning grammar or reviewing grammar while being exposed to new
subject matter.
What does a Customized
Course Cost?
The costs are based on the size of the course and the amount of information
that is supplied to Academic Visions. You can simply supply Academic Visions
with textbooks or other course material and we will select/build sentences
from the material. Of course, if you want to design your course and supply
the sentences then the cost is less.
If you choose to
plan your own course and supply the sentences you will receive a packet
from Academic Visions to guide you through the design phase. The packet
will include forms and instructions for the following 3 steps:
1.
Plan what you want to teach
Do you want the course to focus on certain areas or cover them all?
