 light bulb Active Learning Experiences
Apex Learning digital curriculum takes advantage of the power of technology to create active learning experiences that keep students attentive and engaged as they read, watch, listen, inquire, write, discuss, and manipulate. Multimedia tutorials provide students with opportunities to explore and understand new concepts, allowing each student to move at his or her own pace.

Information is presented in “chunks” consistent with the way students read successfully on the web. Students are required to make decisions as they progress through the material. Prompts and interactive exercises give students frequent opportunities to check their understanding and apply what they learn.
technology  Purposeful Use of Technology
Technology is used in purposeful ways to enhance the learning process. Images, audio, video, animation, and interactive elements integrated throughout the text provide multiple representations and address different learning styles. Interactive exercises provide hands-on opportunities for students to master difficult concepts. Scaffolding such as rollover vocabulary definitions and the ability to listen to instructional text read aloud provide important assistance to students who may otherwise be held back in their learning due to their literacy level.
