Global Student Network has been providing online curriculum for 10 years. In 10 years and serving 10s of thousands of students, GSN lists these 10 reasons for choosing web-based learning.
Effective Because students can only progress to the next lesson after having mastered the current skill or concept, online learning is highly effective. There is no falling between the cracks, missing a lesson due to absence, or learning gaps.
Individualized One student in front of one computer – one-to-one is an ideal ratio for learning.
Cost-effective Not depending on textbooks and consumable workbooks, the education delivered is cost-effective. Usually one fee covers a year’s use of the learning program.
Customized Web-based curriculum adjusts to the student’s needs. If the student is able to grasp skills and concepts quickly they are able to move ahead accordingly. Likewise if a student needs more time to learn, he or she can take the time needed. In short, online curriculum accommodates the student’s learning pace.
Ownership of Learning A student with online curriculum must take responsibility for their learning. They must log on and follow instructions on each screen. They quickly draw the correlation to their actions and their learning success. Understanding that learning is their responsibility assists them in higher education and helps to establish life-long learners.
Choice With all the options available, online curriculum allows students and their families to choose a program that best fits their needs. Whether Common Core, NON Common Core, Christian, secular, honors, AP, parent-led, teacher-led – all these are available online.
Mobile Because the content is delivered online, students can learn wherever internet is accessible. This proves to be very convenient for families who travel or students who have careers as actors or athletes.
Flexible Besides mobility, online courseware accommodates any learning schedule. Whether due to health, travel, or personal preference, there are many reasons that would prevent a student from learning according to a 9-3 schedule.
Current Content can be regularly updated so the information delivered is accurate.
Feedback Not only do students benefit from instant feedback but the adults who are tracking their progress can see exactly what they have learned and what they have yet to master. This allows parents to have an active role in their student’s learning.
These are the benefits that keep bringing students and their families to Global Student Network. In addition to these benefits, Global Student Network has an unique approach. Instead of offering one single curriculum, it offers six different learning programs as well as an online school staffed by certified teachers. Global Student Network strives to bring the best in online education to the families it serves.
Happy 10th, Global!!
