Why was Extempore built on the cloud?
With cloud-based, mobile language software, teachers can teach and students can learn anywhere and on any device. Moving away from costly computer labs to Extempore supports language learning in multiple ways:
It’s easy to get up and running: with cloud-based technology, there's nothing to install. Just open an account online, configure classes and start teaching in minutes.
Free up coveted classroom and computer lab space: because cloud based learning tools are platform agnostic, they can be used on virtually any device. Classes and assignments can be accessed on a school-provided or personal device and students can switch back and forth: data is always in sync. For example, students can do oral exams on a school computer during class (essentially treating Extempore as a virtual language lab) and then log into their home computer (or even a parent’s iPad) at night to complete homework activities to practice speaking skills.
And now you have a state-of-the-art assessment tool which you can use for regular speaking practice, oral exams, homework, AP Exam preparation and anything else where speaking practice is a must.
