Personalized Instruction Leads to Success
The Class of 1 provides a completely new approach to the use of technology for developmental math. It’s a new way to transform the classroom into a personalized experience for each student. It’s a breeze for instructors to manage and easy for students to use. Better yet, it doesn’t cost the school a penny or raise the student’s cost.
But the most important benefit of all is that students are more successful in math. Your students will learn more in a shorter time than ever before. The bottom line is that more students will qualify for college-level math courses.

Everyone Wins
With the Class of 1 for developmental math, everyone wins:
- Students get what they want – a personalized curriculum.
- Administrators get what you want – higher passing rates and reduced delivery costs.
- Instructors get what you want – greater ability to reach students and see them succeed.

High Level of Engagement and Support
Because the Class of 1 system is highly engaging and rewarding, students are motivated to “do the math” at unprecedented levels. The Class of 1 makes it easy for every student to be successful every day. Our unique approach to custom-tailored instruction provides exceptionally high levels of student support. It is based on preventing errors, not correcting errors after they’ve occurred like all other technology-based products. This makes it easy for every student to acquire new knowledge at an exceptionally high rate because they’re motivated by success. For many of these students, this may be the first time they’ve experienced success in math, and the payoff in improved performance is dramatic.

Innovative Use of Technology
Other technology programs just automate the processes of the traditional classroom (videos of lectures, text presented on screen, electronic workbooks and tests, etc.). The administration of the class is still limited by the constraints of the group process with students on a common schedule. Instructors are still unable to provide high levels of individual attention to students.
With these products, nothing is done to transform the group-based teaching process into something more effective and efficient. They just “automate the past.”
The Class of 1 does truly transform the processes of teaching and learning into something that much more closely approximates the ideal situation – individual tutoring by a highly skilled tutor. It uniquely tailors both the content delivered and the way it’s delivered to optimize instruction for every student. The result is a much better outcome for all students – consistent, dramatic gains in achievement.

The Personal Learning System
The group-based classroom teaching approach is a “one-size-fits-all approach “. Unfortunately, one size never fits all very well. In the same way, group instruction never quite provides exactly what any student needs, much less all the students.
We transform the one-size-fits-all approach of the group-based classroom into a personalized process to meet the specific needs of individual students, each of which has unique content needs and capabilities for learning.
Our Personal Learning System enables doing things that can’t be done in a group environment:
- Administer diagnostic assessments on a real-time basis to determine the current state of the student’s knowledge
- Immediately deliver highly-effective instruction that is targeted to address the specific needs of every student identified in the diagnostic assessment
- Free up instructors to provide one-on-one support virtually for the entire class period (in class or online)
- Administer formative assessment on a real-time basis to make sure the learning objectives have been met at every step to ensure continuous progress
- Make immediate adjustments in the sequence of events based on student inputs
By controlling all elements of the learning process on a real-time basis (i.e., instantaneously), the system is able to achieve a level of “just-in-time” customization that is not available via any other method. That’s the true essence of personal tutoring.

From Teaching to Learning: Shifting the Focus
We use technology in an innovative way that enables dramatic improvements in the teaching and learning process. It also provides unprecedented benefits in ease of administration. Our approach involves a shift in the focus from teaching to learning. With group instruction the focus is almost of necessity on teaching rather than learning, simply because it’s not practical to do anything else. With iLearn’s Class of 1 technology, the focus is shifted to the learning process and the outcomes of learning.
