What educators say

“My students are using time more wisely, taking control of their own learning, and setting goals for themselves. This approach teaches them responsibility and holds them accountable. And they LOVE the independence and opportunities for collaboration which this model provides.”

“My students love having the videos that they can watch at their own speed - and rewatch if necessary. They also appreciate the many opportunities to try again if they need or want to. Now my students are retaining more information, performing better, and doing so more happily and with less stress.”

“I give students the chance to reassess as many times as needed, and help students use their practice to find the gaps in their learning. Now students always know where to go and what to do if they need to revise, and they have lots of opportunities to improve.”

“In self-paced classes, where there is more freedom and less to rebel against, my students are able to thrive, and they are also challenged by the opportunity. Our focus is now on the actual learning process, and my students have figured out paces that work best for them.”
