We all remember that moment as a student where the teacher asked the class to get their homework out and you realised that you didn’t have yours. Maybe it was because you left it at home. Maybe it was still in your locker and you’d forgotten to bring it to class. Perhaps the perennial excuse of a million students was actually true for you, and the dog had really eaten your homework. Or perhaps you hadn’t even done it to begin with. Whatever the reason, you would know that things were not going to be pleasant.
For students, a lot of school life can involve carrying things around and remembering to bring them to the right class at just the right time. This might be homework, or it might be a steadily increasing mountain of textbooks, exercise books or equipment.
CARS & STARS Online makes this a thing of the past. The program is fully committed to the idea of a paperless classroom in which student work and resources are omnipresent – just as accessible at home as they are at school, or anywhere, on any connected device. A student can’t leave their homework or textbook at home because it’s always with them. And if they leave their device at home, they can simply logon to another one, wherever they are, and continue working from exactly where they last left off. Removing the need to remember physical work knocks down significant barriers to learning.
CARS & STARS Online keeps instantly updated, ongoing records of each student’s progress and offers the same opportunities to check progress and monitor growth to students as it does for teachers. Students are able to constantly evaluate their own progress and are encouraged to engage in self-evaluation to see where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Because there is no marking – students don’t need to hand in work to be judged because the multiple-choice options in the platform give instant feedback – students can learn from their work immediately, without having to wait for teacher response or interpretation.
What’s more, CARS & STARS Online offers guided instruction so students can avoid being stranded and situations where they might be unable to progress until they find the right answer. CARS & STARS Online offers step-by-step instructions on how to improve and what they should do next. Students are never limited by what content is available, but only by their desire to do better and move forward.
CARS & STARS Online offers a student experience that is unparalleled in its ease and scope. Students using the program have nothing to worry about beyond how to get the best out of it and themselves, and this simplicity and ease of use is an important part of how the program helps to make each and every student’s reading journey extraordinary.
