How Edusoft Is Expanding English Language Learning Online
Just ask the instructors at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (UPC) what they think of the English Discoveries platform created by Edusoft. UPC, one of Peru’s leading universities, is also one of the largest universities in the Laureate network. At UPC, more than 8,500 students will be learning English on the English Discoveries platform. Dr. Matthew Allen, Academic Director of English at UPC, was impressed with the experience in online and face-to-face learning that the Edusoft staff delivers. “Edusoft’s training gave our teachers all the tools they need to work effectively with the English Discoveries platform. Edusoft’s staff bring vast experience in the field of online and face-to-face learning, and were extremely effective in presenting the most relevant strategies and procedures. We were most impressed with Edusoft’s team as well as the English Discoveries program and would recommend them to any institution anywhere.”
Successful Implementation of English Language Learning Online
Edusoft received glowing reviews for the training that it provided to the UPC teachers, who were given two-and-a-half days of training that included both hands-on and theoretical pedagogical instruction, along with an in-depth presentation of the English Discoveries platform and management system. The teachers completed the instruction with micro-training sessions that garnered praise because it allowed the teachers to put into practice what they learned during the training. Feedback from the training showed that more than 95% of the teachers described the material as relevant and applicable to their teaching. They appreciated the user-friendly nature of the student platform; the clarity of the training; and the freshness and currency of the topics. These observations demonstrate that teacher enthusiasm for the program will be a source of inspiration for the students. This is just another example of Edusoft’s leadership in the work of English language learning online.
