Complete Online Learning

Fully online programs can provide improved educational experiences through a personalized approach to online learning through instant access to course materials, community and social learning tools, integrated messaging, and face-to-face collaboration.

Blended Learning

“Students in online conditions performed modestly better, on average, than those learning the same material through traditional face-to-face instruction.” and “Instruction combining online and face-to-face elements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely online instruction.” Read the report >

Mobile Learning

Today, students rely on smartphones as their key social connector and a preferred learning tool. According to the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research 2010 Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology (Smith, Caruso & Kim), over 85% of students have an Internet-capable handheld device and use it either daily, weekly or several times a week to access the Internet. That’s no surprise given the penetration of handheld computing devices or tablet devices like the Apple iPhone and iPad® at the higher education level.

“I was stuck with the same old LMS that lacked the flexibility I needed for teaching classes the way I want to teach them. I wanted to be able to do more with the technology that my institution provides for me. Some of my colleagues were content with using it for just a syllabi and readings, but I wanted to create an interactive learning environment for my students. I was thankful to have found Adrenna.”

Political Science Instructor at a Public University

“As a foreign language teacher, I’ve learned that students have many different learning styles, especially when learning foreign languages. Although recent technologies have helped connect the global community, the learning management system at my university was limited. I don’t want the learning technology I use to dictate how I teach, I needed dynamic content that supports listening drills, foreign youtube videos, or vocabulary and conjugation flashcards.”

French Instructor at a Private Institution

“Most of the instructors I’ve worked for only use the technology given to them as a place to host files and links for students. They either don’t like the technology or don’t want to waste time learning how to use it. I think finding a technology that’s not only intuitive, but useful could really change the way teachers, and their assistants use technology in their courses.”
