To train teachers, nurses, managers, pastors, counsellors.

Calvary Academics © 20153 The Five Learning Aspects The following aspects identify us: 1.E-Learning support platform ( C alvary A cademic P latform) 2.Modern balanced curriculum (academics and skills) 3.Including a practical component (application in context.) 4.Personal tutor for every student (also as group leader & praxis) 5.Country-wide structures (hubs, schools, support centres, campuses) These five aspects will now be explained …

Calvary Academics © 20154 1. e-Learning The electronic edge
5
Calvary Academics © 20155 Maintaining Quality Students must stay in tutor-contact whilst learning. Each student has a computer or tablet to the same platform. The e-solution provided on the web-site must be used to allow the student to get the benefit of resource material (All students make use of e-learning material, some provided on DVD or stick) We believe in contact training but not all teachers can offer the same standards of education – so we have developed a distance e-learning assisted solution:
6
Calvary Academics © 20156 e-Learning technology The e-learning Website provides: Internet links, MP3’s, PPT’s, forum discussions, on-line tests, a grade-book, and extra articles. Learning material can also be viewed in colour. Our technology is up-to-date and will be further enhanced. The technology element is brought in to improve the e-learning experience.

Calvary Academics © 20157 Education through e-Learning Learners have personal Tutors Have access to the Internet Register and use the CAP ( C alvary A cademic P latform) Resources on DVDs or “sticks” Rural students have access to the same expert teachers Class situation + Computer

19
Calvary Academics © 201519 The Contact Tutor 1. 1.Calvary appoints a Skilled Tutor who lives near the student. (Character building requires face to face contact.) 2. 2.The Tutor will: Spend time with the student for encouragement Explain the material and our e-learning method Disciple the student to form Christ-like character
20
Calvary Academics © 201520 Qualities of a Tutor As personal Mentor will facilitate learning: By providing individual help at a Tuition Centre Or at a considerable distance from a Centre Even by visiting or appointed inside a prison facility A Tutor has qualifications: At least a Diploma qualification Preferably has experience in a profession Can evaluate practical work & assignments Is IT literate in computer basics and MSWord

22
Calvary Academics © 201522 Training at a Distance Students must stay in tutor-contact whilst learning. A tutor maintains close relationships to students. The e-solution makes provision for the assistance of the tutor to provide a contact element. (All students must make use of the e-learning provided) We believe in contact training but some students cannot get to classes – so we have developed a distance solution:
