Modular Approach Helps Cut Costs

  • 04/01/96

Learning Modules is a series of focused, integrated curricula packages that allow schools to pick and choose the curriculum they need by subject matter and grade level to build a school-wide implementation over time.

The Jostens packages offer all the advantages of comprehensive networked curriculum without the high implementation costs associated with a broad-based system. The system also has extensive report generation and data analysis capabilities, and e-mail connection.

One of the new modules is A+dvantage Worldware, a teacher-managed Internet connection that allows educators to identify and link resources from around the globe with their software-based curriculum. Jostens Learning Corp., San Diego, CA, (800) 521-8538. WM
