LEARNERS
No two students learn new material in exactly the same way. Nor does any one student learn different subjects in the same way or with the same ease or difficulty. While some students need to see a written explanation of a new concept, others must hear the explanation before they understand. Even others must see, hear, and then go through the process themselves many times before they understand. The SOLS learning platform is designed for a multitude of student learners: auditory, visual and kinesthetic.

When used to its fullest potential, SOLS:

• empowers students to take a vested interest in their own learning progress
• facilitates the mastery of new concepts at each student's own pace
• is beneficial to students of all learning intellects.

SOLS serves as an educational time machine for students. It allows them to "preview coming attractions" in their classes as well as review their in-classroom knowledge building moments-as many times as needed. In this way students can master their various subjects at a pace that is contingent on their speed of learning, while having the repository of learning objects at their fingertips.

Student Testimonials:
"Sometimes I feel I learn at a slower pace in some of my classes. With the videos and lecture uploaded to SOLS, I can go back at any time and review the specific material I need at my own pace."

- Jennifer Savage, student

“SOLS is ideal for the students who learn visually and helps those who don't speak up in class. I remember relying on a textbook in my intro to software class. I'd spend hours and at the end would want to tear my hair out because something as pathetic as learning how to marquee a section took pages to read. And as visual learners, demonstrations are more memorable than words. In all the classes I haven't had videos, the frustration was greatest (and grades lowest). Mostly I use SOLS to review lectures. I concentrate better at home, and combine that with a
pause button, I can grasp material much better.”
