Within each course, students are provided with “lessons” that encompass all the resources to teach, convey, reinforce, and help the student learn and master a concept. Each lesson begins with a video lecture in which a teacher presents a single, specific concept or a few concepts that are tightly intertwined. Acellus high-resolution videos give students the information and instruction they need to master the course material, creating the feeling of a one-on-one learning experience.
Learn Online at Your Own Pace
At Acellus Academy, students study online at their own pace. This gives parents the freedom to arrange school time in a manner that best suits their family. Weekly goals help students stay on track in each course and parents have instant access to monitor their child’s progress through the Acellus app.
Learning with Acellus
Student Dashboard
Each student is provided with a user name and password. After signing in, the student is taken to their dashboard where they see a list of their current classes. After selecting a class, they are immediately taken to their current position within the course.
Video-based Lessons
Each lesson begins with a video lesson in which a teacher presents a single, specific concept or a few concepts that are tightly intertwined. This video-based instruction allows students to learn independently, which can greatly leverage the time of a parent.
Practice Problems
After a video lesson, students receive practice problems to apply the concept presented in the lesson. Acellus uses these assessments to ensure the student understands and masters each concept before moving to the next lesson.
Extra Help Videos
If a student did not grasp the concept after watching the initial video lesson and gets “stuck” on a problem, additional help videos are available for each lesson to reinforce the concept, often modeling how to work a similar problem.
Reviews & Exams
At the conclusion of each unit, students take a review which is followed by an exam. During the review, students may rewatch videos lessons or review the textbook to help them prepare for the unit exam.
Goals & Progress
Parents may specify weekly goals to help students stay on-pace with completing each course. Students may review their progress toward meeting these goals within the student interface.
