The input from teachers, students and parents, has been an essential part of eTAP’s development. The following is a general description of the way eTAP has used technology to develop its curriculum and instructional material.

A master teacher has prepared the course of instruction. The instructional materials include text with voice-over, examples, exercises, self-assessment and reinforcement. An editorial staff enhances the written material. The instructional material is then published and distributed on the Internet. Master teachers participate in the creation of the instructional materials. Other professionals in voice, graphics, animation, video, etc. contribute to the creation of the presentation that exceeds the limitation of an individual teacher. Often a teacher is limited to one-hour preparation for a 4-hour class of instruction. For the eTAP Internet a one-hour presentation, will include 6 or more hours of preparation by professionals in various areas.

eTAP, as a nonprofit, can provide teachers, students and parents with high quality Internet instruction at an affordable cost.
