DALLAS, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyager Expanded Learning(R) announced
today that it has entered into a relationship with Australian e-Learning
company 3PLearning to create VmathLive(TM), the new technology component of
Voyager's math intervention product, Vmath(R).
3P Learning is the creator of the online math program known as
Mathletics. Mathletics is currently used by students in Australia and New
Zealand to improve their math skills in two ways: through curriculum
development and by competing against each other in online, real-time math
contests. 3PLearning and Voyager will jointly tailor a curriculum to align
with Vmath program modules for American students. Eventually, students
using VmathLive will be able to compete against children in the United
States, Australia, New Zealand, England, Hong Kong and Singapore.
"We are extremely excited to partner with Voyager to bring VmathLive to
the United States," says Shane Hill, general manager at 3P Learning. He
adds, "Like Voyager, our team at 3P Learning is passionate about engaging
students in learning and creating an environment where students can reach
their full potential. We look forward to welcoming American students to the
Live Playing Arena, which will give it a wonderful international feel."
VmathLive will provide interactive activities that reinforce the
concepts and skills taught in the Vmath curriculum. In addition, VmathLive
will provide additional problem solving opportunities, math concept
development, skill fluency and preparation for high stakes assessments.
"For students, learning math should be fun and exciting. By delivering
VmathLive with 3PLearning, we are incorporating technology without
compromising educational integrity," says Ron Klausner, president of
ProQuest Education and Voyager Expanded Learning.
As with all Voyager programs, administrators and teachers using Vmath
and VmathLive will be able to access Voyager's Professional Online Resource
Tools (VPORT(TM)) and view student progress data at any time during the
school year.
