Online Tutorials: No Excuse for Failure Now!
When students are able to learn at their own optimal rates, something they seldom do without encouragement, some will progress fast and far. Others will lag. When learning activities and performance testing can be accomplished with interactive online multimedia tutorials no one ever need "fail" again. With 24x7 access to interactive learning materials across the Internet, ALL students should be able to make progress at whatever rates their energy, capacity, and tenacity allow.
Students, teachers, parents--even administrators--could monitor the progress of individual students and be ready to intervene to head-off disaster. The entire concept of "failure" could become obsolete, since each student would determine his own rate of progress and level of achievement. If time remains a factor in the testing or course-completion process, then that could be taken into account, because ScottNet's® MakeMeSmart™ system records and displays both the dates and the times all exercises and tests are completed. For testing security, proctored exams can be accomplished by requiring the student to come to a given testing location, produce positive photo identification, login to our system, and take a test under the supervision of a proctor. No student, regardless of intelligence, could skew their test performance by simply memorizing all the test items in a large test-item bank, without actually "knowing" what he should have learned.
The possibilities are unlimited. There's a new day dawning for the concept of "assured academic success"!
