Focus on Remediation
What every ISI College Remediation Customer Receives

Each school participating in the ISI Web-Based Remediation Pilot receives a customized site for their school with the following features:

Students can check their progress in the course through the Web Manager, send off an email for help or check in the forums to see who else is online. Updates can be made as often as the instructor wishes.

Teachers' Lounge
