 YDP’s
Curriculum Server is a series designed for use
in schools as supporting
material for teachers and students. The suite covers
three subjects: Biology, Chemistry and Physics with
the material covering the required curricula for
Students from Years 7 - 12. Each program is full
of educational material with thousands of high quality
interactive pages including texts, pictures, photos,
illustrations, animations, films, 3D models, simulations
and exercises. The rich variety of objects and topics
covered in the Curriculum.
The design of the Curriculum Server materials allows
easy use for either teachers or students. Each lesson
consists of two parts; presentation and practice.
This organisation together with the specific functionality
of the administrative software allows Curriculum
Server to be easily used in a variety of teaching
or learning contexts including traditional classroom
presentations via self-study mode, group-work and
project based learning.
The Curriculum Server topics prepared for each year
of study are equivalent to traditional school textbooks
but the opportunities presented by the technology
allow the content to be delivered in far more expressive
and effective ways. The innovative approach makes
Curriculum Server an attractive package both for
young students, helping them to learn quickly and
naturally, as well as for teachers through making
lessons more appealing.
Curriculum server incorporates Biology, Chemistry
and Science
The system integrates hundreds of striking presentations
constituting an invaluable comprehensive and easily
searchable library of learning objects.
Curriculum Server is a modern easy to use application
that transforms a standard computer into a feature
packed interactive learning centre. It enables students
to work independently, create solutions, exchange
innovative ideas and solve a variety of educational
tasks.
Curriculum Server consists of thousands of high
quality interactive pages including: illustrations,
animations, films, 3D models, tests and activities
that make it a perfect tool to help students understand
how biology, chemistry and physics is evident in
everyday life and the surrounding world, not just
in the classroom.
The enthusiastic and inventive view of the world
by which the product encourages young people to observe
their surroundings both promotes creative thinking
and makes these subjects easy and enjoyable to learn.
