Economics and Personal Finance

The Virginia Department of Education needed course materials developed to support schools in teaching to a new high school requirement. Victory came to their aid, developing a yearlong course and deploying it online through their statewide LMS. When Apple revealed iBooks Textbooks, Victory leapt to convert the course for use on the iPad, taking full advantage of the format’s interactive capabilities. The resulting pair of iBooks textbooks were the first available on economics and personal finance in the iTunes store.

iScience

Norwood House noticed an opportunity to integrate science into the ELA curriculum by providing science readers to support FOSS Science Kits, the leading inquiry-based science program in the United States. Victory’s team for science consulted with NSTA while writing, illustrating, and designing 30 leveled readers that align to the Common Core. Each book starts with a puzzle that kids solve as they think about the information presented in a measured, well-planned sequence.

Zoom: Gulf Oil Crisis

Gale Cengage asked Victory to compile data about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and present them in a variety of media through one Flash-based learning object. Our solution combines graphs of signal indicators, such as the total of shoreline that was despoiled, and a timeline of events related to the spill. The product incorporates video, slideshows, photos, and links to a variety of sources of news media outlets. Student and class activities focus on data analysis, critical thinking, and writing skills.

EduWidgets

Victory Productions conceptualized and developed this digital interactive authoring and collaboration system for the Virginia Department of Education. The idea is simple: students become fully engaged when empowered to publish. At www.eduwidgets.org, students create timelines, graphs, and interactive images to share with the world after teacher approval. Once published, they can embed in websites and iBooks. They collaborate by copying and modifying files in Shared Widgets. Teachers also use EduWidgets to share curriculum. To get the ball rolling, Victory produced 26 Exemplars in all four disciplines across K–12.
