Educational Solutions Overview
Imagine
the day when the vast majority of students achieve outstanding learning
as demonstrated by their joy of learning and academic achievement.
Imagine the day when the time taken to cover core curriculum is half
what it takes today, freeing students to work on collaborative projects
igniting their passion for more learning. Imagine the day where teachers
and students become true knowledge workers developing knowledge objects
that add to the overall learning of everyone. Imagine the day
where technology is used to diagnose and close learning gaps for individual
students across all curricular strands. Many aspects of this future
are available today. To read more about PLS' current research
and development, see the 21st Century Vision page.
PLS is committed to the development of breakthrough e-learning solutions that dramatically improve student performance. The patented Adaptive Knowledge Retention System (AKR), enables the PLSystem to transfer essential course content (knowledge base) into long-term retention at a near 100% level. Linking content mastery with application and skill development results in a highly effective knowledge transfer process.
This comprehensive learning solution can be deployed from the youngest to the oldest student. Because the PLSystem is based upon proven brain theory for knowledge transfer, students studying early math concepts in elementary school, or graduate students learning advance system engineering, can equally benefit from using the PLSystem.
K-12
PLS has developed a learning platform, the PLSystem, which can deliver course content from multiple sources. With its easy to use authoring capabilities, teachers can very quickly create learning content to augment their regular classroom instruction. Third party content can also be adapted and delivered effectively through the PLSystem.
College/ University/ Professional Colleges
The amount of information disseminated in a typical college course is immense, particularly in science related fields. Using the PLSystem, early field studies with Florida Tech have demonstrated increased effectiveness in student learning at both the undergraduate as well as graduate levels.
Project Based Learning
University
programs, such as the MBA, are often structured around project-based
learning (case studies). Students in collaborative teams explore
specific areas in depth. Using the PLWriter, teams capture and
disseminate their learning to other teams in a very powerful way: by
creating a knowledge transfer process which results in a learning
community - accelerating the learning of everyone over time.
