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
Our dedicated, certified and experienced
instructors are committed to the students' further
intellectual growth. Instructors monitor student
progress, review student assignments, and help
identify particular student difficulties. The Opus
Academy instructors have been chosen for their
thorough knowledge of the subject, their dedication to
teaching, and their expertise in using technology to
provide a high level of support. Students are
encouraged to take advantage of this resource.
Course
Completion
Students will receive a course completion certificate
issued jointly by EPGY and Opus Academy upon request
once course is completed.
