CEV Multimedia Paves Way to Industry Certifications with iCEV Update
Lubbock, TX (PRWEB) June 23, 2014 -- CEV Multimedia, a leading producer of Career and Technical Education (CTE) curriculum resources, announces a major update to its flagship learning tool. iCEV, an online platform that produces and delivers comprehensive educational content, now includes a course management system with pre-built CTE courses. CEV Multimedia is also partnering with Learnosity to deliver interactive assessments and activities for students through iCEV.
The update to iCEV comes amid growing national interest in the advancement of CTE programs. Several state initiatives, including House Bill 5 in Texas and Alabama’s Career Preparedness course, emphasize the importance of putting students on the path to college and career success. Through the enhanced version of iCEV, students can obtain industry-backed certifications by completing regular coursework. During a news conference in Austin, Texas on July 21, CEV Multimedia will announce inaugural industry partners supporting its certification program, with more partners to be announced in the next 18 months.
“As the nation’s workforce evolves, it’s imperative that we provide students with opportunities to explore career and technical education tracks that match their interests,” said iCEV President Dusty Moore. “We significantly enhanced iCEV and are creating the forthcoming industry certifications to open doors for students as they chart their college and career paths.”
The new version of iCEV includes a course management system containing pre-built CTE courses with lessons from the platform’s extensive online library. A course set-up guide walks educators through the process of choosing and customizing courses to fit the needs of their students. Students then complete interactive activities and online assessments, with guidance from teachers. The system automatically evaluates and records results, providing an easy way for educators to analyze student achievement data. iCEV also offers instantaneous technical and curriculum support for teachers through a live-chat feature.
CEV Multimedia updates iCEV weekly with new lessons, which are correlated to state standards. Each lesson contains professional interviews that provide students with real-world examples of career possibilities that coincide with the main lesson content. iCEV is compatible with several devices, including Macs and PCs, Chromebooks, iPads, iPods, and more.
The new version of iCEV will be available to schools for implementation in August, with pre-orders available now. For more information, visit http://www.icevonline.com. To attend the certifications media event on July 21, contact Kristina Rozenbergs - kristina(at)cblohm.com.
