How eAcademy Works
Students enjoy completing their daily schoolwork on the computer, working through schedule assignments in the ORU eAcademy  curriculum. Powered by Switched-On Online (SOO), the curriculum provides students a variety of interactive exercises, movies, animations and audio clips that add to the learning experience.
Instant-grading features in the software allow students and parents to receive immediate feedback on academic progress. Assignment due dates and past-due notices help keep students on their individualized learning tracks. Our highly qualified teachers enhance learning by providing additional guidance, feedback and encouragement while monitoring daily progress.
Students connect to the Internet to complete and submit their work to the ORU eAcademy teachers for additional feedback. Once students submit completed assignments, our degreed/certified teachers grade written paragraph answers, essays and projects in addition to monitoring progress in computer-graded assignments. Teachers may also assign extra work or identify problems for students to rework.
Students and parents are able to contact the teachers by phone, e-mail, or the "messaging" feature which is built right into the curriculum.
For accurate placement in the curriculum, academic advisors customize a plan for each learner. By utilizing previous school records, placement test data and parent feedback, the academic advisors empower students to begin working on subject units at their learning levels. Each subject (math, science, language, etc.) is comprised of approximately ten learning units covering daily lessons, quizzes, tests and projects. Students must successfully complete all units in each core subject to accomplish a year's grade level of schooling. Students can work at their own pace (some faster, some slower) in order to achieve subject competency.
