To get started I created my account and logged in. Once logged in you go to the my students tab and ad your student enrolling them into the course that you want them to take. It will have you create a user name and log in. From there you will assign your student and they are off and running with the program once they log in. From the parent dashboard you can do things like enroll your student, purchase another course, view your students progress report etc. I feel like it is simple and easy to navigate. The only issue we ran into was that there is no print button on the student report. To get around that I have been able to highlight right click and hit print selection to get a printable copy of the report. As the parent you can also use the dashboard to view the lessons incase you need to help your student with anything. I would like the option to switch my child to a higher or lower level if necessary. Because some times a child just needs to take a step back or forwards.
My kiddo is currently working her way through Pre-Algebra. Each level offers video tutorials, and lessons to better help them understand how to work through the problems. Each video is some where in the ball park of 6-10 minutes. So not incredibly long but not super short either. My daughter watches the videos then prints a work sheet that she then uses to practice the skill taught in the lesson. They will download both the work sheet as well as an answer key for each lesson. My daughter reports that the method of explaining how to do the problems is a bit different from other instructors. She likes that the instructor does the problem as they are explaining it. The quizzes will be scored and recorded for the parents records. To help keep your student motivated they can earn badges as they work through the program. How ever my 13 year old does not seem to care much about receiving the badges. Each chapter seems to have approximately 2-9 lessons per section. Some of the other grade levels have a few more lessons per chapter. Pre-Algebra covers the following chapters:- sets
- integers
- fractions & decimals
- exponents and square roots
- operations properties and scientific notation
- ratios and proportions
- percents
- number theory
- number lines and coordinate systems
- equations
- probability and statistics.
