Listen Up for Better Scores
Drum roll please! PrepMe PSAT and SAT students will now be able to listen to their course while they work through it! We are always looking to make our courses more effective, and our user research showed us that narration not only increases student engagement, but it also helps many students retain more knowledge. The newly narrated content has been received overwhelmingly by the students with whom we tested this feature, and we're excited to now release it to all of our students.
When we first started this project, we obtained proposals from numerous firms but one narrator stood out: Johnny Heller. Johnny is an Audie Award winning narrator with over 300 audio book titles to his credit, was named one of the Top Voices of the 20th Century, is a 2008 winner of Publisher's Weekly Listen Up Award, and a part time stand up comedian. With a resume like that, it is easy to see why we picked Johnny to narrate our courses!
We are currently working with Johnny to create narration for our ACT courses and will be working towards even better and richer media integration for all of our new programs (shhh, we cannot tell you what that entails yet). You will see us enhance all of our courses with more media and give our students more ways to learn using high-quality curricular materials personalized to meet each individual's needs.
Thank you to Johnny and Spencer (editor and technician) for helping us launch PSAT and SAT course narration! We're thrilled about this launch and excited for the many additional upgrades we have coming in the next few months.
