PROGRAMMING

writing
Learn-Now is an Online Learning Centre, for student enrichment and extension. Students can be ‘handed over’ to us, as if they were heading out of class to meet with another teacher elsewhere. Those who achieve the most, are those who adopt a sense of ownership - able to choose their own topics and develop their own programme here. They pick and choose from what we have on offer, or come with ideas to develop. All unfolds inside this Learn-Now website. Students work inside a site personalised for them, in teacher-student & peer-peer discussion forums and live workrooms. Often, they’re also meeting with other students in joint project/focus work from around the country (or world in some cases :).



FEES

info Term
fees/student:
$10.00 - $300.00

Annual
fees/student
$40.00 - $950.00

Fees vary according to the level of interaction required with tutors and the extent to which students have access to all that's on the site. We encourage the Smorgasbord programme, which offers a ‘taste’ of Learn-Now, in a students' their first term and the a pick of the others during any subsequent terms. Fees are to be paid in advance of programming, although full year enrolments are divided by the number of terms for enrolment and invoiced per term.



TIME COMMITTMENT

writing Ideal
3-4 hours per week


Minimum
2 hours per week



Learn-Now is a hugely flexible programme, 24/7 in nature. Many of our students access programming at home and school. A term enrolment encompasses the following holiday period as complimentary programming. Students have both 1:1 online teacher-student & individual application time and are to meet 'live' online for at least an hour a week.



TEACHER SUPPORT

ponder

If a group of students are timetabled for computer suite time, a supervisor (can be a parent) is recommended. Otherwise, they are with a teacher at our end, if we know the students are on. Most of our students enrolled at the moment work on the computer in class, independently and without formal supervision. Much depends on the students. In one case last year, a group of 12 students worked in a suite and the less responsible student stayed in class and worked on the computer there, within the presence of their teacher. Learn-Now staff do need a contact liason staff member to report updates and progress to.

Students can be enrolled for the year and on a term by term basis. In the first term of enrolment, we recommend students adopt any programme featured in the left column here. Most G&T students have several focal points on the go, often represented by several topics and activities and are strongly encouraged to head towards The Banquet - everything's on offer programme.



HARDWARE / SOFTWARE

surfing Computer

Internet Access


Nothing more than a computer with internet access is required. We recommend Mozilla Firefox as the ideal browser, but Internet Explorer is also acceptable. We prefer students not to use the Safari browser however. If available, we can use Skype, Video Conferencing, webcams and podcasting.
