Research Center
To further engage students with their course work,
the highly interactive Research Center offers a
true-to-life learning environment for students,
teachers and advisors, and administrators. The
various activities and features of the Research
Center are based on a virtual world where students
travel through different chat room environments.
Navigating through buildings, rooms, fl oors and
doors, students, as their own custom “avatars,” tour
a virtual world of content interacting with each
other and their instructors along the way.
Students can see other avatars in a room as they
enter and live chat. They can also keep a “friends”
list - as they would on other social networks. The
heightened engagement that results from use of
these dynamic features aids in skill acquisition and
the collaborative environment encourages students
to help each other with coursework – a proven tactic
in enhancing skill retention.
Course structure
Each EdisonLearning eCourse contains 180 individual lessons (45 lessons per
9 week part). Every lesson focuses on one or two standards-based objectives
that are clear and attainable. This structure helps students maintain focus
and motivation by accomplishing achievable goals in each lesson, a technique
which has been shown to foster success in online learning. Each lesson can be
delivered as a standalone that contains clear prerequisite skill identifi cation.
This Modular Structure allows the courses to be adapted to individual
student needs and enables application to varied academic situations.
Full-year courses consist of 4 parts, each containing 3 units of 15 lessons
each. Assessments are given at the end of each lesson, unit, and part.
Students can…
Enjoy the Arcade when interventions are completed.
Collaborate with students and teachers in the
Learning Lab.
Share art and creative works in the Art Gallery. The
Art Gallery encourages extracurricular achievement
and builds community.
Experience lesson content coming to life in the
Sabotage STEM activity/game.
Visit the World Language HQ and learn while they
play the SAGA activity.
