Deployment Models
Blended Learning
The PLSystem augments classroom teaching with online learning - a natural match. Reinforcing key learning points online helps students master the subject matter taught in the classroom. Students engage in online learning from their home computers or at school. The PLSystem learning process creates a low stress learning environment that makes students feel comfortable. Students can use low cost computers and a standard browser to access online learning at home; all PLSystem functions work on all commonly used operating systems.
Distance Learning
The trend toward taking courses online, even in higher education, is increasing. The PLSystem supports the design of effective learning processes that enables students to master course subject matter at very high levels. These uniquely high levels of mastery differentiate and set the PLSystem apart from other e-content and standard student administration systems.
The PLSystem authoring tools support the design of online courses, collaborative activities, assignments and incorporation of articles and web sites used in courses. These learning experiences can be repeated by the student while allowing the instructor to tailor the experience as needed.
Innovative Teaching Models
The PLSystem allows students to become knowledge workers on projects designed for knowledge transfer. This approach exposes students to innovative concepts of how to capture and organize knowledge for effective transfer to other students. Collaborative student learning communities share knowledge which stimulates further learning.
Education Communities of Practice
Teachers are using the PLSystem to capture, share and learn teaching best practices. These teacher communities will become the impetus for education reform and innovation. As other communities develop and share repositories of learning objects, learning technologies within education will accelerate.
