The Acellus Learning System is a widely used program for teaching students in grades K-12. It was developed by the International Academy of Science and currently has over 300 course offerings in all core subjects including AP, CTE, and STEM.
Acellus courses are filmed in high definition with some of the very best teachers in the nation. Each lesson is filmed to cover one concept and kept as short as possible to retain student concentration. After each video lesson, the students are presented with assessment questions to evaluate their degree of understanding of the concept of that lesson.
The reason that Acellus has been found to be more effective than other online video systems is the use of an amazing new technology called Prism Diagnostics™. In Prism Diagnostics, Acellus uses cutting edge technology to determine where students have holes in their background knowledge that are making it difficult for them to learn a particular concept. In the same way that a prism splits light into a spectrum of colors, Prism Diagnostics splits students into groups, or spectrums, based on similar deficiencies or holes in their background knowledge. When a student falls into one of these spectrums, Customized Personal Instruction (CPI) is instantly delivered for that precise defect, filling in the gap in the students' knowledge so they can move forward with confidence.
The Acellus Learning System is currently deployed online in blended learning, team-teaching, special education, gifted, credit recovery, and other uses.
