Accounting Made Easy, AME Learning

‘Accounting Made Easy’ – For centuries the world has believed this to be an oxymoron!

More than a decade ago, AME Learning invented and patented a highly interactive and effective method of teaching accounting that has changed this perception of accounting for thousands of postsecondary accounting students.

Colleges using AME have witnessed typical drop-out rates of 30% reduce to as low as 4%, typical transfer rates (students switching to accounting major) more than double, and typical overall classroom grades of 60% increase to over 75%. Professors have described the AME methodology as “refreshing”, “intriguing”, “never thought it could be this simple” and “you have broken the mold of the way this subject is taught”.

Students using the AME program are consistently amazed by their academic results and now believe that learning accounting is an achievable and rewarding experience!

With a talented pool of creative subject matter specialists, developers, programmers, gamers and instructional designers, AME has created online and hybrid accounting courses that are multi-sensory and uniquely valuable. AME’s vision is for all future accounting students in the world to experience and view accounting as an essential personal and professional life skill that they can acquire and must possess to succeed.

Seminars on Science: The Solar System

The American Museum of Natural History developed Seminars on Science, its online teacher professional development program, in order to connect teachers across the United States to cutting-edge research and powerful classroom resources. Each course is co-taught by an experienced educator and a scientist working in the field, and features rich media and opportunities for vibrant discussion. The eleven courses include Earth: Inside and Out; The Ocean System; and Evolution.

Our latest course, The Solar System, is co-authored by Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of the country’s most prominent scientists. This course explores the current understanding of our Solar System informed by missions to the Sun, planets, moons and asteroids – with stunning imagery of these worlds and new ideas about their origin, evolution and fate.

Independent evaluation confirms that Seminars on Science deepens scientific understanding and provides educators with valuable classroom resources. Graduate credit is available through the program’s higher education partnerships. As a result, Seminars on Science is helping to address a critical national need in science professional development by leveraging the resources of one of the world’s preeminent scientific, cultural and educational institutions.

MyCompLab, Pearson Education

Research shows that many of today’s college graduates lack the critical-thinking, writing and problem-solving skills to function effectively in the workplace. Quite simply, MyCompLab aims to help change that.

MyCompLab has the tools students want and the proven learning models they need. Students who use MyCompLab receive more hours of practice, experience more interaction with their instructors and have all the resources they need to become better writers. But what really sets MyCompLab apart is that learning happens in the context of each student’s own writing — encouraging critical thinking and revision while honing skills based on individual needs. And that means better learning, better writing and that students are more equipped to succeed in both academia and areas beyond.

Via a wealth of tools and resources, MyCompLab places the power to teach effectively into the hands of those who do it best — instructors — and places the power to learn into the hands of those most invested in learning — students.

MyCompLab features:
• Easy assignment creation and management
