has evolved into a focus on e-learning, and its potential to
revolutionize the world of education.
E-learning is one of the most exciting and most widely
misunderstood concepts in education today. At the Academy of
Educational Science and Technology, we make e-learning easy to
apply and understand, through implementation strategies that make
sense and courses that cut through the mystique to the concrete
benefits and limitations of e-learning technologies and
educational strategies in today’s classroom. Our complete line of
conceptual and technical consulting services is founded on
extensive experience with diverse e-learning implementations,
ensuring that we can help you maximize the benefits of e-learning
in your curriculum. We work with all aspects of e-learning
technology, including CD-ROM and other interactive learning
formats, textbook to electronic format transfer, audio-visual
concept dramatization, educational network infrastructure design,
academic communication structuring, and remote conferencing
technology, among others.

E-Learning Program Design
Our most important strengths are our
understanding of how learning works and the technical expertise
that allows us to do concrete implementations of e-learning
technology. To do a complete e-learning implementation, we go
through several steps:
-
We transfer textbooks to CD-ROM
format, illuminating ideas in the text with video and
interactive media. We can, for instance, add interactive
audio-visual exercises to a physics or chemistry textbook, or
supplement the written information in a history textbook with
historic audio and video clips. Our complete text transfer also
takes several steps:
a)
We begin
by analyzing the course material.
b)
Then we
break down the main objectives which the material conveys.
c)
Next, we
enhance and enrich the existing materials based on our assessment.
d)
At this
point we may need to outsource some assistance to education
professionals.
e)
Next, we
set up a storyboard to lay out the new electronic text design.
f)
Finally,
we add multimedia enhancements to the material, interactive games
and tools, etc.
-
We design online course materials in
clearinghouse format, linking web pages for specific classes to
research sites and other relevant sources of information. The
clearinghouse, or information portal, helps supplement existing
learning materials.
-
We set up a local network for the
school that allows administrators and teachers to share
information through e-mail and online bulletin board
technologies.
-
We move tests to the network in
electronic format, so that students can take their exams on the
computer, allowing for enhanced evaluation techniques such as
first and second answer choice reporting and metrics based on
subject matter and question difficulty. This data is stored in
a central database, which teachers can access through a
password-protected system in order to evaluate their students
and better understand how to help them learn.
For specific examples of
implementations, please consult our
case studies. Also feel free to
contact us with questions regarding consulting projects and
technical services, class scheduling, etc. The Academy of
Educational Science and Technology has international partners and
e-learning programs in multiple countries. We specialize in
planning and program design, technical services, and teaching
instruction and enhancement. We work with those who wish to model
new education strategies using e-learning techniques, as well as
with those who simply wish to add to or streamline their current
education programs. We look forward to hearing from you!
