INTRODUCING
Acellus Gold Edition
After five years of research and development, Acellus Academy has announced the release of Acellus Gold Edition – the next generation of the Acellus Learning Accelerator. The system includes lessons filmed in high-definition, interactive learning activities that help motivate students, and a dynamic learning experience for grades K-12.
VECTORED INSTRUCTION
Accelerating Learning
Acellus Vectored Instruction® is a powerful intervention strategy that fills critical holes in a student’s understanding to accelerate learning. When a foundational deficiency is diagnosed, Vectored Instruction goes as far back as necessary, even pulling from prior grade-levels if required, to fill in the missing foundational knowledge. Once the student has restored that requisite foundation, they resume the course where they left off, better prepared for success.
WRITING TUTOR
Helping Students Become Exceptional Writers
Teaching effective writing is one of the toughest challenges in distance learning. The Acellus Writing Tutor® is designed to tutor students as they write, giving immediate feedback on grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and even writing style. With this personalized feedback, students quickly discover that they can become exceptional writers.
Acellus Gold Learning Activities
Acellus Learning activities become unlocked as students meet their daily goals in Acellus Gold. These activities are tailored to various grade levels, which helps keep students motivated, focused, and engaged in their studies.
GOLD CREDITS
Rewarding Student Achievement
As students progress through their courses, they earn gold credits.
The amount of gold earned is directly related to the difficulty of assignments and demonstrated mastery, making learning both challenging and rewarding. Gold credits can be used to redeem rewards within the Acellus Gold interface, helping students visualize the value of the knowledge they acquire.
LESSONS WITH 3Di
A New Method of Instruction
Acellus Gold uses 3Di, a method designed to make challenging concepts easier to understand. Using detailed 3D models, 3DI allows students to explore concepts at the molecular level or slow down mechanical processes for clear explanations.
Concepts are taught step by step, and students are assessed to determine their mastery. Depending on their results, they either advance in the course or receive targeted instruction to address specific knowledge gaps.
Lessons Filmed in High Definition
Acellus courses are professionally filmed in high definition with some of the best equipment available in the cinematic industry. The combination of incredible footage and outstanding teachers brings each subject to life, sparking students’ interest and inspiring a love for learning.
