A+nyWhere Learning System:
Management System
|
The A+nyWhere Learning System® courseware program was designed to provide educators at all levels with flexibility and
ease-of-use in delivering and customizing educational materials. It offers a very sophisticated approach to individualized
instruction and provides educators and administrators with a multitude of student performance reports, seamlessly integrated
into the comprehensive courseware.
All A+nyWhere Learning System courseware curriculum resources can be assigned and customized from the management system by
the educator and may include any instructional resources available to the school or district. New subjects and/or resources
can be added or existing instructional resources changed at any time.
Educators can also manage other third-party software including CD-ROM titles, word processors, spreadsheets, and other
application software from within the A+nyWhere Learning System program. These third-party resources can be incorporated into
any student's personalized lesson plan or launched in any sequence of use defined by the educator. Non-computer instructional
resources and activities can also be added and customized for any student.
The A+nyWhere Learning System program has a wealth of functionality that can be described by reference to the “windows” the
Management System contains. A brief description of these “windows” is as follows:
Users Management Window
Add, delete, and/or edit users and assign any user to a class. Easy-to-use importation and integration functions allow
cross-maintenance with existing databases.
Classes Management Window
Set up classes, assign/remove teachers and students to/from classes, and transfer students between classes, with or without
their progress records and assignment lists.
Assignment Management Window
Educators can establish and edit assignment lists, view all student reports, view and grade students’ essays or their work in
other computer activities, and grade students’ work in non-computer activities. It also allows the educator to define rules
that will govern a student’s usage of the A+nyWhere Learning System program, a particular assignment list, or a specific
subject lesson.
Curriculum Authoring Management Window
Add, edit, and delete curriculum content. Additional flexibility allows educators to add completely new subject areas or
lessons. Edited curriculum content can be immediately assigned to students automatically if the author so desires.
Standards Management Window
Add, edit and delete educational objective sets as well as the objectives within them.
ALS Skills Management Window
Administrators can add or modify skills linked to the A+nyWhere Learning System activities and objectives.
Administration Management Window
This window is a catchall for various system utilities and system-wide data such as the setup of multiple schools, definition
of curriculum areas, grade levels, etc. It also allows the editing of rights, creation of “user types” (prepackaged set of
rights), and maintenance of system defaults.
