Title: Combining e-Lective and DynEd for Academic Success

Presenters: Dr. Jim Cummins, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto and Lance Knowles, President and Head of Courseware Development, DynEd International.

Summary:
Preparing students for academic success requires a combination of oral and written skills. Together, e-Lective and DynEd come close to making a complete package to meet this need. e-Lective provides strong academic reading and writing exercises and tests that can be customized to the needs of a school district. The authors present their rationale for how the combination of DynEd and e-Lective is hard to beat; and give a demonstration of its newest features, along with examples of how it is being implemented in a variety of markets.

Title: Training Teachers in a Blended Model

Presenter: Lance Knowles, President and Head of Courseware Development, DynEd International.

Summary:
Teaching English: A Brain-based Approach is a professional training course for teachers of English who wish to blend technology into their teaching. DynEd's blended approach to language learning is built around a cognitive, neuroscientific learning theory called Recursive Hierarchical Recognition, or RHR. This learning theory differentiates DynEd's blended approach from other computer-assisted programs.

In addition to introducing the learning theory, this course gives hands-on experience with computer-based lessons, and develops English language proficiency for English teachers who need to improve their own English. This course is also suitable for graduate teacher training programs that wish to prepare their students to use technology for language learning, and to explore a cognitive neuroscientific approach that is being widely used.
