Collegiate Education

Choose performance.

Competition among colleges and universities is robust to say the least. As a visionary and steward of your institution's future, how do you:

  • attract the students you want,
  • engage and serve students and alumni,
  • stay relevant and vital to your local community, and
  • leverage resources to reach a broader online community?

Online learning provides powerful solutions to these challenges.

Demands for more flexible, technology-driven courses are coming from both students and faculty. Administrators are also seeking ways to increase enrollment and eLearning offers new possibilities. No longer a trend, eLearning is integral to institutional strategies.

So how do you identify the right one for your college or university? Which eLearning program makes the most sense, is budget-friendly and dovetails well with your institution's strategic vision?

We suggest you take a hard look at demonstrated performance: TEQUA Fontis™.

In a nationally standardized professional licensure exam with a national average pass rate of only 43%, students who successfully completed an exam review course using the TEQUA Fontis™ platform passed at a rate of 84%. This level of performance has been proven in eight years of testing with more than 8,000 students worldwide.

No other eLearning solution can make that claim. If you want performance, choose TEQUA.

TEQUA Fontis offers several advantages for your collegiate environment including:

  • Open Authoring Model: Using Your Existing Content
  • Testing and Assessment: Diagnostic Tools
  • Mentoring: Collaboration and Online Community

Open Authoring Model: Using Your Existing Content

Next, consider the need for keeping up with technology demands for eLearning programs that require faculty to come up to speed quickly in order to meet their student's technology demands.

To that end, TEQUA Fontis' authoring model provides:

  • concentrated, on-site training for faculty,
  • curriculum design and learning objectives,
  • interactive-based test questions and answers, and
  • performance metrics.

In just four days TEQUA-trained faculty will be able to virally pass on their authoring knowledge in a classic train-the-trainer process. Their existing curricula will be easily adapted to the eLearning environment.

TEQUA delivers a pragmatic, intuitive learning environment that leverages your faculty's existing curricula, study materials, and learning modalities. We remix and retool your content and focus on:

  • stimulating dynamic, moderator-led, asynchronous discussions that deeply imprint the material being discussed,
  • identifying weaknesses and developing strengths and potentials in students that often lay unidentified through other learning modalities, and
  • initiating problem-solving exercises, creative solutions, and critical thinking.

With TEQUA's proprietary Fontis™ platform, your students' learning experience will include:

  • freedom to work within their own schedule and study the coursework when convenient,
  • thoughtful, asynchronous discussion groups that promote deeper awareness, greater retention, and interactive problem solving, and
  • elimination of the scheduling challenges, and passive "haze" that occurs during real-time web casts and rich-media broadcasts.

Testing and Assessment: Diagnostic Tools

The key to Fontis™' success is the unprecedented diagnostic and performance measurement tools it provides to faculty and students. Fontis™ begins with a clear list of learning objectives. Students are then guided through stimulus/response, multiple-choice questions and intuitive visual queues modeled after learning/behavior models found in cognitive psychology.

Feedback is immediate, answers are diagnosed, suggestions are made to course correct, and learning objectives are accomplished through dynamic self-regulation.

Self-regulated learning, in which the student becomes fully self-directed and self-sustaining, is what happens when the student has all of the tools required to diagnose their performance and focus their efforts where they will provide the best return.

Unlike the rote learning models of most eLearning environments, self-regulated learning is found to be:

  • highly effective and sustaining,
  • confidence building and empowering, and
  • vital for creating a deeper appreciation and understanding of the subject.

Mentoring: Collaboration and Online Community

TEQUA also delivers a unique, faculty-based mentoring program that focuses on helping students bridge the gap from theory to practice. Access to an experienced faculty/mentor is critical in many situations.

TEQUA offers students online access to faculty who moderate discussion groups dealing with both learning and practice. This mentoring helps students deepen in their understanding of course material and learning objectives. To protect the privacy and confidentiality of these critical discussions, TEQUA Fontis provides access control, encryption and authentication procedures.

TEQUA's innovative learning methodology also influences how courses are designed and delivered with Fontis™. Mentoring and online discussions afford a wide range of opportunities for the faculty/mentor to engage with the student in collaborative learning and problem solving, including:

  • case studies where appropriate,
  • group assignments, and individual activity-based assignments,
  • moving from theoretical problem solving to engaged, participatory solutions/resolutions practice, and
  • stronger group participation.

So, if you're looking for an eLearning solution, look for:

  • proven performance
  • effective re-positioning and adaptation of existing curricula
  • self-regulated learning
  • mentoring
  • collaborative learning and problem solving

and you'll find TEQUA. We look forward to hearing from you.
