How Acellus 5 Works

Acellus delivers short video lessons taught by some of our nation's greatest teachers. Practice problems are then given to assess understanding of the concept taught. Students move through the lessons at their own pace.

Using Deficiency Diagnostics (DD), Acellus assesses areas of student weakness and gives more help and practice in these areas – further customizing the learning process and filling in holes in students' understanding for a strong learning foundation.

Deficiency Diagnostics and Customized Personal Instruction

Problems – After the short video lesson, problems are presented to assess understanding of the concept presented.

Customized Personal Instruction (CPI) – "Oops, I thought you might make that mistake. Let me show you what you didn't understand." Wrong answers are analyzed and new content is created for specific mistakes commonly made by students. These "mini" lessons pop up as soon as a student enters that specific wrong answer for that specific problem, helping the student understand the missed concept.

A Flexible Teaching Tool – Students may take Acellus Courses on a wide range of subjects and academic levels. Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and the Sciences are just a few of the subjects being taught with Acellus.

The human mind is an amazing thing - no two are alike. This makes the task of teaching such a dynamic range of developing minds quite a difficult undertaking. In order to create educational material that will cater itself to students of all ages, backgrounds, and mental composition, Acellus has turned to science for the answers – Acellus is the science of learning.

Acellus starts with excellent teachers and the best teaching standards known today in order to put together courses that are engaging and effective – but it doesn't stop there.

Feedback on each lesson and problem is collected and organized. Educational professionals and scientists evaluate this data. Trends are recognized, and new course material is created. Lessons that didn't work are re-taught in more depth or in a different way. Frequent wrong answers that are given by a significant number of students are evaluated until the point of confusion is identified, and additional videos are filmed specifically for each wrong answer.

When the next student enters a common wrong answer, Acellus brings up the video created for that answer on that problem, and the teacher explains exactly what the student didn't understand -- thus providing Customized Personal Instruction (CPI).

These Deficiency Diagnostics (DD) are only one of the important concepts that makes Acellus work.

One-on-one Instruction

Acellus virtually provides each student with one-on-one instruction, allowing them to move at their own pace. If a student struggles in an area, there is no pressure on the student who doesn't understand – or on the teacher, who has to deal both with the students who already do understand, and with the students who are confused.

Additionally, each concept taught in Acellus is presented in a separate video and followed by problems to test each student's understanding. This means that each step in the process of learning is calculated to be as small a bite as possible – and therefore easier to digest.

With one concept taught in each lesson, Acellus can hone in on and identify exactly what the student doesn't understand. This also drastically reduces the length of each lecture, and results in keeping students more engaged.
