Computer-Based Instruction
Inmates stay motivated by relating to the program’s virtual students, who share similar learning challenges. Lessons in math, reading, writing, science, and social studies are presented in multiple learning styles. Every learner develops a deep and thorough understanding of basic concepts and skills.
Diagnostic Assessment
The HiSET Academy for Corrections program tailor a personalized lesson plan to each student’s knowledge level. The built-in practice test emulates the real test, and randomized questions allow the test to be retaken. The practice test results are used to prescribe lessons and workbook practice to help students improve on areas they missed.
Learning Management
Technology enables correctional education professionals to remotely manage the learning of a diverse inmate student population with ease. Administrators can start, stop, or restart an inmate’s learning program at a later date if needed, and communications can be maintained with students through their homeroom. The learning management system cuts down administrative work so instructors can focus on teaching and monitoring student performance.
