Mitkadem Digital is also perfect for tutorials and even
independent, self-paced online learning, and allows you to
serve students who can’t get to your building.
Now in the Online Learning Center (OLC), each 12-month
license for Mitkadem Digital gives a student access to the
online versions of all Ramot 3-23. Each license is renewable
yearly, so students will be able to go back and review work
done in previous years.
The OLC edition matches the printed ramot page for page.
Access to all the ramot is through a single menu, so students
can pace themselves during the year. Students receive
automatic, immediate feedback on all fixed-answer exercises;
they can screen-print answers to open-ended questions to
send to the teacher. The digital edition tracks student log ins
to each ramah, counts their visits, and provides the date of
latest log in. Teachers will have access to this tracking on a real
time basis using their own OLC accounts.
The OLC edition of Mitkadem Digital is available separately
from the printed ramot.
