PHILADELPHIA, PA (PRWEB) June 28, 2005 -- Riverdeep is unveiling an advanced Learning Management System that transforms its award-winning Destination Success teaching approach into a custom-built reading and math solution for every district. Riverdeep will demonstrate the new Riverdeep Learning Management System (LMS 3.0) at the National Educational Computing Conference in Philadelphia.
The browser-based portal solution allows administrators and teachers to track student, class, school, and district data, aggregate and disaggregate the data, and produce detailed reports in compliance with NCLB requirements. The comprehensive data also helps educators and district and school administrators make more effective decision about curriculum and instruction.
LMS 3.0 allows districts to better support individual state standards and prepare students for high-stakes tests. Educators can generate customized, formative assessments using an item base of over 14,000 reading and math questions. LMS 3.0 creates a single centralized location for student data management, assessment and tracking that sharply reduces the cost of ownership for the district.
The advanced browser-based technology in LMS 3.0 offers a number of important new benefits for districts:
• Anywhere, anytime learning: LMS 3.0 allows schools to extend the learning day by delivering standardized content to anyone with an Internet connection, whether at school or home, via LAN or dial-up connection.
• Improved productivity and efficiency: The system facilitates district-wide data management from single location.
• Flexible delivery: Curriculum can be managed from any location, so teachers can review student achievement and make assignments without having physical access to servers.
• Cost effective: Centralized district deployment which requires minimal hardware. Single-point administration and maintenance greatly reduces total cost of ownership.
Districts are increasingly rejecting a one-size-fits-all approaches to assessment and instruction," said Gail Pierson, Riverdeeps Chief Education Officer. Every district has to work out its own accommodation to federal and state mandates and to its own specific student population. With LMS 3.0, Destination Success becomes the custom-tailored solution every district needs," Pierson said.
