Syllabus Catalog: Structured Chapter Arrangement
Easy access to online resources
Lesson preparation is one of the main parts of every teacher's daily work. If lesson planning resources can be cloud-based, teachers can unify teaching materials and test/exam papers in a structured and systematic way, which will make them more convenient to access and use.
IES provides "Personal Syllabus", which helps teachers to prepare lessons in the cloud and arrange teaching materials (PowerPoint, HTEX, PDF, images, videos, web hyperlinks, etc.) and test papers (questions) into the syllabus. The teacher's prepared syllabus can also be shared with other teachers to share their resources.
In addition, when using HiTeach for smarter teaching in the classroom, HiTeach's Teaching Resource Area displays the syllabus resources from the IES 5 platform, with a tree-like display of Personal Syllabus. The teaching materials can be saved, imported, opened, or tested according to the teaching scenario, making it more convenient to access prepared materials.
►For a detailed description of the syllabus catalog, please refer to: A structured syllabus catalog, a more efficient co-preparation platform, and more convenient access to teaching materials and test papers!
After preparing resources on IES, teachers can easily access them on HiTeach Multi-media material storage
Online resource library for on-the-go use
The teaching materials, files, multimedia resources, and more that are created on the IES can all be accessed at any time. When using HiTeach, even if you are in a different classroom or using a different computer, you can access all the data on the cloud and teach at any time by logging in to your own TEAM Model account, making it much more convenient.
Individuals can store teaching materials (HTEX files, PPT files), pictures, audio, video, PDF, WORD, EXCEL... etc. If the school has purchased the school-level IES management service, teachers can further use the abundant teaching resources shared by the school.
Multi-media test questions
Diverse question types & MS Word import function
MS Word can be used to import test questions and create test papers
With IES 5 question bank management function, teachers can quickly upload the most commonly used MS Word test papers and turn them into cloud-based test questions and papers. It also provides the function of setting the attributes of the test questions (e.g. question type, difficulty, cognitive level, etc.) and adding remediation resources for students to review for self-study.
In addition, the platform provides a variety of ways to quickly design test papers, such as SMART test paper design and manual test paper design. The more questions you accumulate over time, the more resources you will have to produce test papers.
●Whether you are accustomed to using cloud-based test questions, paper-based test papers, or CD-ROMs, all types of question databases can be imported and designed into the IES cloud, and question resources can be shared among each other.
●True-false, multiple choice, cloze, writing (short answer and essay), and even calculation questions can all be integrated into a cloud-based test paper. The questions can also contain different materials such as pictures and multimedia. You can use it to test listening, essay writing, and mathematics calculations!
► If the school has purchased the IES Smarter School Management Service, teachers can also use the school question bank and school exam file!
Create Course and Student List
Activity Record: Easy for teachers to view and for students to review after class
Teachers can create courses on IES, and students can join the courses by scanning QR codes, using hyperlinks, or entering the course invitation code on AClass ONE. If a school purchases the IES school management function and helps teachers create lists of classes and corresponding courses in advance, it will be even more convenient for teachers to use it, as they can directly select the School Course and view the student list.
Teachers create their own personal courses or use school courses created by the school
With IES course lists, teachers and students can enjoy the added benefit of lesson records. For example, if a teacher uses HiTeach in class and selects an IES course, at the end of the class, the teacher can log in to IES to view the activity history data generated from the class, including e- notes, lesson activity records, assessment results...etc. Students can log in to AClass ONE to view not only the activity history data, but also personal notes taken by themselves when using Web IRS during the class. 
Teachers can view lesson records and e-notes, download student work, and export data after class
After class, students can view teacher's e-notes, interaction records, and personal notes made by themselves. In addition, teachers can also access information on previous homework, assessments, and lesson records of all courses at any time, which is very convenient.
