The Tutored Courses are a combination of asynchronous sessions and lessons, interaction with the teacher and audio/video classes. They include weekly instructions from the teacher, access to the CyberItalian lessons, special assignments and other educational materials provided during the course.

 

 

Special Assignments: besides the self-administered homework in the lessons, the student is required to complete a special assignment and post it in the Class Forum; the teacher will carefully review the assignment, correct it and give suggestions to the student. The teacher will post the corrections and feedback in the Class Forum and in the student's report card.

 

 

Audio/Video Group Classes: students meet with the CyberItalian teacher in the audio/video class (a conference system with whiteboard and co-browsing). Each student participates in the class. The conversation includes the topics presented in the sessions. Each audio/video class is 50 minutes long (see schedule in the Calendar - please note: the Calendar shows your local time, provided that your computer is set on your local time. The schedule may be subject to change).

 

Class Forum: here the students post assignments and questions for the teacher, receive answers and corrections, and interact with the teacher and with other students. The Class Forum is accessible anytime. Moreover, a student can always contact his/her teacher via email.

 

The student sees her/his personalized feedback in the Student's Report Card.
