ABOUT CONNECT GOV: DISTANCE LEARNING

ConnectGov's goal is simple. Tens of thousands of students have the ability, the interest, and the need to develop a more sophisticated understanding of math and science. Unfortunately, the best efforts of teachers are too often undermined by large class sizes and a host of other factors. The result is that teachers often find it impossible to provide students with the individual attention they need. ConnectGov's CyberQuest Learning System provides a cost-effective solution for this problem. Importantly, and unlike many distance-learning materials that intend to eliminate the need for enrollment in classroom courses altogether, the CyberQuest Learning System supplements what traditional courses provide.

There are two interrelated elements in the CyberQuest Learning System. The first is text material that emphasizes basic concepts and principles. The content provides an in-depth review of the material college-bound students must master if their success is to be assured. Complete with numerous colorful diagrams, illustrations, and animated graphics, the format of the presentation is visually appealing.

The second part of the CyberQuest Learning System is the Robotic Teacher. This interactive and animated program presents students with a variety of practice problems that vary broadly in their difficulty. Students have access to multiple hints designed to help them solve each problem. There also is a complete "show solution" component that illustrates each step students should have taken to reach the correct answer. When a set of questions has been completed, students receive immediate feedback. You also will see that the text materials and the Robotic Teacher are interconnected. Thus, as students progress through a chapter of the text, they can "click on" the Robotic Teacher icon which is at the bottom of each page and move directly to the self-testing questions that are relevant to that chapter. If appropriate, the Robotic Teacher encourages students to review the text materials and take the test again before they move on to a new chapter.

Finally, the CyberQuest Learning System is administered through a highly sophisticated Learning Management System. This system allows student participation to be closely monitored as well as customized reports to be prepared for classroom teachers. An optional component of the system which can save teachers countless hours of valuable time gives them the ability to administer test and quizzes within the Robotic Teacher format. The results are scored and recorded instantaneously.

Thank you for taking the time to review some basic information about ConnectGov Inc. and its innovative CyberQuest Learning System. Founded in 2001 with offices in the District of Columbia and Nashville, Tennessee, ConnectGov is a small minority-owned business enterprise that specializes in the development of self-paced interactive courses that are internet accessible on a "24 x 7" basis. ConnectGov can develop fully customized course materials in virtually any academic area, but our primary focus is the design of materials in the fields of science and mathematics.
