Computer-Based Instruction

To address all types of learners, lessons in all subject areas—math, reading, writing, science, and social studies—teach content through multiple learning methods. Inmate learners will deepen their understanding of basic concepts and skills, no matter how they learn. To aid their learning, the program introduces a classroom environment with virtual students who will motivate inmate learners by expressing learning challenges that may reflect their own.

Diagnostic Assessment

Personalized lesson plans aligned to each student’s knowledge level will be provided through the HiSET Academy for Corrections program. Students will take practice tests with randomized questions. These tests emulate the real test, and can be retaken multiple times. Using these test results, the program will recommend additional practice questions and review lessons to help each student improve their skills before moving on.

Learning Management

The HiSET Academy for Corrections program makes managing the learning of a diverse inmate student population easy. Administrators can remotely alter an inmate’s learning program at any time, and send messages through the student homeroom. The learning management system minimizes administrative work, allowing instructors to focus on teaching and monitoring student performance.
