Ohio Students Discover the Key To Passing Exams
Reports from students using PassKey have been positive as well. Students say the program makes it easier for them to study, helping them feel better prepared for tests. Students appreciate getting not only extra help, but also more defined help.
Deborah Meyer, an ABLE (Adult Basic and Literacy Education) instructor at the Scarlet Oaks campus, has had similar successes with the program. Her adult learners are using PassKey for all subject areas in preparation for the GED exam, and they say they enjoyed working with it. Meyer says she found the individualized aspect of PassKey to be a big plus for herself and the students. But Meyer, who d'esn't think she's very computer literate, says the program and its administrative tools are simple to understand and use. Her students have also been pleased with the system's user-friendly features. "[The students] find working on the computer is more enjoyable than using a book and paper," she says. "They feel they can concentrate better and get more out of it." In particular, students appreciated the immediacy of the feedback, the graphics and the practice provided, she says. With PassKey's help, several of Meyer's adult learners were able to pass the GED exam.
