Universal Curriculum Exploitation Models
•
Electronic equivalent of a textbook
–
Universal Curriculum covers full Maths & Science Curriculum at the
Upper Primary, Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary stages and it
can independently play the role of an interactive textbook
•
e-Extension of a textbook
–
As all Universal Curriculum content can be easily mapped to any
curriculum or structure of a textbook, it could be an excellent

extension and enrichment of the existing textbooks
•
Resource based education support
–
Teachers may find Universal Curriculum content to be an unlimited
source of objects to support their own individual teaching methods
allowing them to create custom-made educational materials

We stand for ‘e’ in education
•
Universal Curriculum subjects consist of Topics
•
Each Topic is a pair of Student’s and Teacher’s Lessons
•
Student’s Lesson is designed to support the self-study mode of learning
•
Teacher’s Lesson is designed as an Interactive Whiteboard presentation
