Share assignments with other teachers

2008-09-01T08:13:00.000-07:00

We have decided that teachers should be free to share the assignments that they have created with other teachers throughout the world. As a result, assignments can be shared and edited by anyone who has downloaded the authoring tool.

You can share your assignments through e-mail, upload them to a LMS or website and even burn them to CD-ROM.

Teachers should have control

Think about it!

Who knows students better - e-learning software developers or teachers?

We all know that e-learning has the potential to do much better. After all, technology is the language of today's student. However, in most cases e-learning software just doesn't give these students the light-bulb moments needed to succeed in the 21st Century.

Given all the advances in computing, the fact that e-learning has failed to live up to it's billing has been a disappointment. It is clear that e-learning technology must check it's ego and realize that it is not the one stop shop answer to poor performing students. It must realize that it is simply a tool for teachers to use. Basically, in today's classroom e-learning technology should be regarded like the modern backboard and chalk - a tool that helps teachers teach.

So how does all that help students get better math grades?

Well an e-learning application that allows teachers to create customized e-learning assignments that are synced to classroom learning along with the students' class notes and textbooks would hel students greatly.

Most teachers know their students really well. They know the strengths and weaknesses of each student. It is for this reason that e-learning content created by a teacher is much more valuable than prescribed generic content that most e-learning packages provide.
