Today's Class is designed to support the instructor in every way possible. Its interactive courses are vivid and engaging, and it utilizes the Learning Management System to grade and respond to incremental exams, reducing lecture time by up as much as 50%. When applied in conjunction with classroom exercises, Today's Class becomes an invaluable resource.
Interactive Courses / Course Browser
Today's Class' comprehensive coverage of automotive basics and theory will reduce the instructor's lecture time and allow for more hands-on exercises in the class. The instructor is given full access to the courses through a Course Browser, enabling them to tailor lectures and in-class activities to the material at hand.
Student Reports
Three types of Student Reports offer instructors a comprehensive review of their students’ history and course progress, each with multiple search filters and print options.
Instructor Toolbox
The Instructor Toolbox provides access to online Today's Class Instructor Forums, as well as all available course resources within a module. The forums encourage communication with both Today's Class technical support and other instructors across the country. Course resources available for each module include a printable Study Guide, Crosswalk, and NATEF Job Sheets:
- The Study Guide is a full color, printable document that summarizes the course's topics and illustrations. Students may print the guides for personal study, and instructors may use them for course outline and review.
- NATEF Job Sheets are embedded throughout Today's Class modules in printable PDF format. These job sheets correspond to relevant topics and NATEF tasks. The Course Resource Job Sheet function compiles the module's job sheets for quick access.
- The Crosswalk identifies each of the NATEF tasks in the course module and matches it to its NATEF and IML job sheets.
System Messages / Tutor Support
The System Message Center allows instructors to post system messages to all logged in students. Multiple messages can be set with expiration dates, enabling the instructor to post relevant, timely notices about upcoming classroom events, tests, or study expectations. A “tutor” option encourages one-on-one correspondence via system email. This maintains student-instructor contact regardless of where the course is accessed.
Printable Lab Sheets
Today's Class has also embedded NATEF job sheets throughout the courses, providing printable reference pages for each task. Links to these job sheets open as .pdf files and can be printed at any time. Additionally, job sheets for NATEF tasks that are not covered in the class will be available.
Today's Class is an exceptionally easy, user-friendly tool. Every effort has been made to assist the instructor and the student. And with Melior's trained support team only a toll-free call away, Today's Class couldn't be easier to use.
