Synopsis-
GED Academy offers complete adult literacy education distance learning solution and provides all the instruction, support, and assessments needed to advance adult learners' GED® test skills competency in months rather than years.
TABE 11/12 Academy Online Learning Program provides a complete learning program that prepares adult learners of any level to make significant gains on the TABE tests. The LMS helps meet diverse needs while maximizing academic gains.
A complete instructional guide is available for using TABE 11/12 in the ABE classroom. Learn what skills are emphasized and how to incorporate critical TABE skills into your current ABE and Secondary curriculum is available.
Proxy hours for LACES (Does this software program stop tracking if the student is not actually working within the program, making keystrokes?)- Yes. If the programs do not denote keystrokes within a few minutes, the student is asked if they are still active in the program. With no response, the student is timed out of the program and it ceases recording study time.
Reusable seats? Yes. Seats are reusable. Once you withdraw a student from your class roll, you will "deactivate" their account...and that seat now becomes available for an incoming student. An active student is never denied entry into the programs. A student can be reactivated at any time...all of their data remains intact, and they pick up right where they left off.
