How
does this work?
You'll
take three steps to set up a program using ISI's remedial courses:
1. School/mentor select eligible students, collect student information
and enrolls students online.
2. ISI emails student and mentor to confirm enrollment.
3. Student uses online courses as long as he or she needs to.
He or she has regular contact with mentor via email, phone,
etc.
How
are the courses delivered? Are they all web-based or is a CD-ROM
used?
The
courses were designed so that both modes may be used depending
on the choice of the college or student. The courses may be
delivered entirely on the Web or in a hybrid mode where the
management is web-based while the actual courses are on a CD-ROM.
Is
ISI offering courseware or a remediation service?
ISI is offering a remediation service.
What
is the price of the remediation service?
For the latest pricing information Please contact
Wayne Morgan or Dawn Buckman at 800-706-5476
Is
there a time limit for the student to be enrolled in a course?
The student is enrolled for as long as it takes to
pass your entrance requirement. It is up to the college to determine
when the student is ready for college level work. The time required
will vary with each student and each college.
Does
the student enroll in ISI or at our college?
Students are enrolled at your college. ISI gives each
college its own web-site for on-line remediation students. When
students access the site they see your college name.
Can
other colleges see the scores of our students? How is privacy
maintained?
ISI has build in three levels of access security. The
students see only their own scores. The mentors see only the
scores of the students assigned to them. The administrators
see only the scores for their own colleges.
How
many students can we enroll?
Enrollment is ongoing and the ISI system can accommodate
any number of students at any time. The format is open entry,
open exit. The student does not have to wait for a class to
begin.
Every
college has different standards. Whose standards do the students
meet?
The students meet the requirements of your college and complete
the program when they pass your placement or entrance examination.
What
is the role of the college mentor?
The mentor uses the ISI management system from his or her own
computer station to monitor the progress of the student. The
mentor tracks the student’s time, scores, and other measures.
The mentor communicates with the student through e-mail or telephone
and may meet with the student if necessary.
We
have never used distance learning. Do we need any special equipment
at our college to use the ISI distance learning remediation
program?
No. The students and mentors only need access to Internet enabled
personal computers. ISI’s computer center does everything
else. The college needs no additional centralized computer system.
Can
the student work at a job and still use the remediation series?
Yes. Most students who use the remediation series work at jobs
that prevent them from attending campus classes. The student
can access the remediation courseware from home, from work,
from campus or any combination at any time.
Can
these courses be installed on our campus computer lab?
Yes. This option is applicable to students who can come to your
campus regularly for remediation.
