eReflect – What’s the company like?

eReflect company profile, customer reviews and contact info

eReflect is focused on making e-learning solutions accessible to people of all ages.

Incorporated in 2008, the company has offices in Australia, the Philippines, and the United States, and a growing list of individual, nonprofit, educational, and corporate customers around the world. So, who are eReflect? What are their goals?

eReflect History and Goals

Personal motivation – The company got its start in 2006 when company founder Marc Slater turned an interest in his own self-improvement goals into the company’s flagship product, Ultimate Vocabulary. After researching existing computer-based education models and established teaching strategies, he combined his education in software engineering and communication tools with a vision for a new form of self-paced learning and a new kind of educational software, one that provides the key training users need through personalized instruction and a supportive, easy-to-use interface.

Scientific approach – Today, all of eReflect’s products are based on scientifically-proven principles of learning methodologies as well as the latest innovations in technology. A decade after Marc Slater dreamed of a better way to learn English vocabulary, the company’s goal continues to be the same: helping people to achieve their own dreams of a better professional and personal life by improving their skills in fast reading, vocabulary building, spelling, and touch typing.

eReflect and Online Education

Mission – One of the company’s core missions is to help the growing Educational Technology movement by promoting literacy-supporting programs in classrooms to help prepare students for the future. Schools can start 9- and 10-year-old students on training that will make their later school years easier, and give them the foundation to build a career or go on to earn an advanced degree.

EDU programs – Several of their products have already been released in EDU format, using the latest in cloud-based computing and offering scalable administration options that let school districts and home-based tutors alike provide grade-specific instruction to their students.

For long-lasting success in learning fast reading, eReflect believes that people need to first eliminate any unconscious reading habits that are holding them back from improving their speed, their comprehension, or both.

Use free e-books and own material for activities and exercises.

The Benefits of Guided Learning

Instructions – eReflect focuses on individualized instructions. That means that each user gets direction and suggestions in real-time, as they work through the guided lesson plans. The Canberra based company also provides options to customize texts and exercises to fit the user’s current grade and skill level.

Progress management – This guided approach lets users maximize their progress while keeping the time spent to a minimum. Information and techniques that have been learned can be put in the “mastered” category and taken off the review list. The boost in the learning curve is clearly seen in the progress charts and statistics that the system maintains and uses to provide feedback and support as the user works through the program.

eReflect’s Outlook on e-Learning

Mobile – All of eReflect’s products will soon be available on mobile devices, and the company continually updates and upgrades their range of products to support changes in the science and technology of online education with portable, personalized tutorials that teach skills that people can put to immediate use.

Blogs – eReflect also publishes user-oriented blogs with a wide range of articles on speed reading, typing, vocabulary, and spelling so that the latest information on these topics can be part of the conversation on the future of e-learning, online, in the classroom, and at home.
