eLearning Company Helps Private School Deliver Affordable and Quality Education
Vancouver-Based Lambda Solutions Works With Pre-Collegiate Learning Center to Help Revolutionize Private Education
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/28/12 -- The affordability crisis in private education isn't new. But an innovative blend of eLearning and traditional teaching at a private school in New Jersey has enabled the school to offer high quality instruction for just $5,000 per year. This program is a reality thanks to the , which helps adopt online learning through the increasingly popular .
"With tuition costs rising to $20,000 to $30,000 a year for high school students at private schools, getting a great education was getting less and less accessible to everyone who wanted it," says director Lauren Ariev Gellman. "Blended learning is the solution."
Many companies offer , but PCLC went with Lambda Solutions for their expertise and versatility. "We chose Lambda Solutions because we were looking for a place that could not only host our Moodle, but could also help put it together as well," Gellman says. "We were especially impressed with Lambda because they would allow us to add on to it ourselves once it was set up."
The 20 students in the pilot program at the PCLC each bring a laptop to school. English and History classes still have plenty of traditional classroom lectures, but about a quarter of class work is completed online in projects and quizzes. Science and math classes use far more educational resources accessed through Moodle, such as instructional videos and tests, from , and other online educational hubs.
"The students feel engaged doing it," Gellman says. "They get coaching as much as they need, once a week or even once a day, keeping them on track with the curriculum and tests. Parents can log in to the portal using the student's account to check on their progress."
"Whether in public schools, private schools, K-12 or at the university level, educators are looking for ways to take advantage of technology, offering a great educational experience that won't leave students or parents with staggering levels of student debt," says Shevy Levy, CEO of . "The Moodle open source learning management system is a very adaptable solution that can help schools and companies offer a wide range of in-demand courses at competitive tuition rates."
