Through the Internet and Computing Benchmark and Mentor, educators and administrators now have access to validated data to drive curriculum planning, determine resource allocation and verify progress reports to support requirements for funding opportunities and mandates such as the No Child Left Behind act. At all levels this suite of reporting tools provide institutions with dynamic reports that clearly illustrate status of skill sets, the required remediation, student progress and the overall level of digital literacy.

Individualized Learning Management
With these tools, teachers can organize students based on their current level of digital competence. Students that need additional instruction won’t be left behind and those with advanced knowledge can bypass the training on skills they already have. This allows teachers the ability to accurately classify their students and address individual needs with individual learning programs.

Accountability and Yearly Progress
Robust and customizable reporting allows teachers, schools, districts and organizations the ability to understand the current level of digital literacy of their students and track the progress gained by the implementation of new programs and the use of technology in the classroom. In addition, it meets the needs of administrators to provide accurate reporting for funding requirements and programs such as the No Child Left Behind Act.

Prescriptive Learning
The Internet and Computing Mentor provides prescriptive learning by offering three levels of assistance and custom study guides that map to approved courseware. Through these tools, the Mentor identifies learning gaps and tracks the student’s efforts in completing a task, thus allowing teachers to address specific knowledge deficits.

Data Drive Curriculum Planning
The Internet and Computing Benchmark and the Internet and Computing Mentor allow for extensive and customizable reporting. This flexibility and level of detail generate critical data needed to evaluate current programs and adjust curriculum to best meet the needs of students.

Leveraging Technology for an Enhanced Learning Experience
All too often, teachers find technology a hindrance to teaching because of the disparity among students’ level of digital competence. The Internet and Computing Benchmark and the Internet and Computing Mentor give teachers and schools the tools they need to eliminate the digital divide among students and focus on using relevant levels of technology to enhance the learning experience.
