How It Works
We Can Build Your VTA Environment In 7 To 10 Days.
INITIAL SETUP
An initial meeting before the start of the virtual-sessions will ensure that VTA captures all the primary concerns/questions across various topics, learning objects that will need specific focus. At the same time, the synchronous sessions are being established.
RESOURCES
The VTA will be provided access to content/textbooks and digital resources that are currently being referred or delivered to the students in the classroom. These resources can also be procured or sourced by us to speed the process.
VTA SESSIONS
All sessions will be scheduled by the student with the virtual teaching assistant. A scheduling calendar will be provided by Focus EduVation, which will enable the student to schedule a session with the virtual teaching assistant.
DELIVERY OF SERVICE
The sessions will be delivered through a voice and chat-based session. Students can submit their questions in advance, though that is not necessary; however, it will enable the VTA to be prepped in advance and before the weekly – group/ on-demand session.
