CyberTeachers® version 7: A personalized professional learning tool
The jury was said to be highly impressed by the extraordinary adaptability of the new CyberTeachers® platform. One of the key technological advancements of CyberTeachers® version 7 is its ability to instantly transform any article or professional document into a multimedia language training course. CyberTeachers® offers a fully customized interface, including specialized features such as “The Learning News”. In this section, each learner selects topics which directly impact their daily activity.
CyberTeachers® scans the Internet and brings back a huge selection of related content that is directly incorporated into the user’s platform. The program’s flexibility is highlighted when a user chooses to work directly on a professional project by integrating the documents into the training program, instantly turning them into customized learning material (focusing on oral and written comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and writing.)
Ultimate goal: stimulate continuous student motivation
"With the development of this technology, we pursued one ultimate goal: a focus on the learners personal motivations in order to maintain a high level of motivation”.
"By offering motivational content that stimulates emotions, the tool reactivates a students desire to learn, which naturally increases their capacity to learn a new language. We have also introduced other innovative tools such as language assistants and speed memorization, all on a Web 2.0 platform. These features include group learning and online live coaching.
Today our learner satisfaction rate is 97%."
