TEQUA maximizes learning efficiency and retention by:
- providing bite-sized lessons, with rapid reinforcements of study material, and
- ensuring that students understand the basic material before taking exam questions.
In addition, moderated discussion groups provide just-in-time access to instructor assistance and peer interaction.
Proven Partnerships
TEQUA was founded on the principle that the next generation of eLearning applications would begin to evolve into community-based systems. Community services like education, mentoring, coaching, intellectual property management, public and private forums, moderated discussion groups, and the ability to upload and share content would be key system components.
Already this vision is being realized through relationships like the ones outlined below:

Students can test themselves at any level within the table of contents. Once complete, the scores populate our diagnostic scorecard and provide a visually intuitive assessment of subject mastery, increasing confidence and competencies.
Complete Answer Rationales
 Exam questions are authored with complete rationales for all answer choices. Once an exam is complete, students can review the questions they missed, see the rationale for the right answer, and the rationale for their selection.

Online Mentoring & Discussion Groups
TEQUA promotes online mentoring through moderated discussion groups that are administered by the course instructor.

Discussion groups include these important features:
- Mentors can login and view only new and unanswered posts.
- Questions can be posted publicly or privately.
- Students and Mentors are notified each time a post is created or answered.
- All students participate in and benefit from the online dialogue.
Online Grade book
The online grade book automatically collects students' scores, study time, and completion date. Instructors can keep track of student performance and participation. Private emails can be sent to students by clicking on their name.
Practice and Exam Interfaces
Students can drill on test questions using the 'Practice Mode' and get immediate visual feedback on their performance. 'Exam Mode' runs the student through a complete exam cycle and then scores and records the exam on exit.
Intellectual Property Management
The TEQUA system incorporates several industry-leading features designed to safeguard the intellectual property of its authors. Access control mechanisms can limit use of course materials to a specified number of days from purchase or the duration of an online course. After that date continuing access can be purchased on a subscription basis. Course 'components' like lectures, tests, videos, etc. can be unbundled from the primary course and sold online as separate items. Access to written materials and videos can be configured to prevent unauthorized duplication and printing. Student and teacher access to online materials can be dynamically configured based upon the product purchased and a set of business rules that can be specified by the author.
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.
