Pearson Active Teach, also known as Active Learn, or Active Learn Online - for Secondary - reviews and opinions.
The ActiveTeachPrimary is very good. And our kids have responded and advanced well using it.
However, the system for secondary is poor. very poor. I say.
The interface has been designed by a 14year old with zero real world experience. The functionality is just aweful - click after click to get somewhere useful. Silly popup boxes (instead of in-app tabs, or in browser tabs, etc). limited back button functionality. ALL details not completed, such as nothing is sorted alphabetically, etc, etc.
It really has the feel of an incomplete "suggestion" of an app.
There are so many irritations and frustrations with this system i would like to hear from anyone else who uses it.
As for the company Pearson. Wow! It really is the American Privitisation of the Education System. (Example: The other day the system was turned off for some reason - which totally bombed my planned class - and the help phone number was a premium number. Cheeky sods!!)
Even though its advertised as the be all and end all of online education, after speaking to some company reps they told me "its just a revision aid. nothing more"
Has anyone actually educated a child with this system ?
Thanks.
