This is the story of two friends, Jim and Julie – both 14, who are keen to master the English vocabulary. Jim goes to a tutor, gets a word-list of about 20 words a day, memorizes them, takes a weekly quiz and then repeats the whole process the next week. His friend, Julie on the other hand, searches the worldwide web for a suitable tool and starts using an online solution. This knowledge portal tracks her progress, provides her timely feedback, additional resources as required and tailors her assignments based on her individual progress. Upon completing the module, a detailed outcome is sent to her teacher including reading time, vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension, and use of supplemental electronic resources. Julie meets her learning objectives and moves on to her next lesson!
