Computer-based learning
The fundamental mode of presentation within the EPGY Courses is the "lecture" consisting of digitized sound accompanied by synchronized graphics. These lectures capture the informal nature of classroom instruction, while preserving the level of rigor appropriate to the subject matter. At Opus, the concepts discussed in the lectures are further explained by actual instructors in a real classroom.
On the computer, after students receive a lecture, they are asked questions about the material they have just seen. The computer evaluates their answers, giving them immediate feedback. Using the results of these exercises, the computer is able to customize the course experience to accommodate individual differences in student learning..
- Progress Reporting : The EPGY courses use sophisticated data collection and analysis techniques , allowing teachers to keep detailed record s of individual progress, and assuring appropriate support for every student. At Opus, we have regularly scheduled parent conferences to keep you updated of your child's progress.
- Tutorial Classroom Support: At Opus Academy , we combine EPGY multimedia computer based learning with face-to face instruction by our experienced and qualified teachers for maximum benefit to students. The real classroom gives students a live forum in which they can interact with instructors and with other students. Our small group environment allows for more individualized attention.
- Individualized & Advanced Learning- Students progress at a rate determined by their own ability and effort. Students who show ready mastery move quickly through a course, while slower learners will receive additional instruction.

Instructors monitor student progress, review student assignments, and help identify particular student difficulties .
