Index of Articles on Syvum Web site Kids SyvumBook Series as a Teaching AidDate: September 4, 1999 It is our belief that information technology is going to revolutionize the way knowledge is stored, learnt and taught. The SyvumBook Technology is a step in that direction. Its application has been demonstrated using the Kids SyvumBook Series, designed to be an excellent learning and teaching aid. In this article, we will try to explain why Kids SyvumBook Series should be your automatic choice to provide your kids or students with a great learning environment. All components in this series, namely Math, English and Knowledge, are "SyvumBooks." Although a SyvumBook is a software, it is rather like printed book -- it has a front cover, chapters, and a back cover. This implies that a SyvumBook provides a clear starting point and a road-map for learning, often missing from conventional educational software. However, unlike a printed book, it has dynamic content. Some of the SyvumBooks are so dynamic that you may never see the same content ever. This provides the ingenuity of a teacher to the SyvumBook. The Kids SyvumBook Series makes use of the state-of-the-art in multimedia with the SyvumBooks being filled with fun audio clips and animations. Learning occurs through a multitude of activities which provoke analytical thinking as well as learning of the subject being studied. Practice and test environments are provided, with an excellent Progress Monitor, that allows parents, teachers and the children themselves to follow their progress. Consistently high performance in the progress monitor will indicate that the child is ready to move to a higher level of skill. The various activities in the SyvumBooks are carefully designed to enhance certain analytical skills in the kids, as well as the skills relevant to the subject being studied.
