Solutions for Distance Learning

GoCourse goes the distance for virtual learning

Distance learning is growing rapidly in K-12, higher education, and for profit schools. Distance learning delivers where other education opportunities fall short. To fully leverage the power of distance learning, institutions need a solution that complements synchronous virtual classroom tools and an asynchronous solution designed to work with distance learning.

The GoCourse Learning System is a course management solution designed for distance learning. It assumes that faculty, as well as students, are generally but not always connected. With this in mind, GoCourse enables faculty and students to work effectively online or offline.

For example, faculty can prepare all electronic courseware offline. Only when the content is complete does it need to be sent to the server, enabling rapid rich media courseware development. All assignment grading, complete with built-in rubrics, can be done offline. When faculty is reconnected to the Internet, everything is automatically synched with the server.

To ensure high touch instruction, even over long distances, GoCourse tracks all student activity. This information enables instructors to monitor students in “near” real-time and proactively assist a student in need of extra help before it’s too late.

Students can view rich-media course content, upload assignments, take exams, submit discussion board posts—all offline. When reconnected, everything syncs up with the server. A What’s New page allows them to rapidly see any new changes. And students have their own progress monitor, so they can track their progress and pace against the rest of their class.

GoCourse provides you the solution you need for a best-in-breed distance learning solution. Isn’t it time you took a closer look?
