Teachers can track their students’ progress and results, effectively address mixed levels and save time on homework preparation and marking.

For school owners or directors, the English Campus has enormous competitive and commercial benefits. Having the English Campus will place educational institutions at the forefront of learning technology ensuring them a substantial competitive advantage. The English Campus itself is a results driven learning tool that fully incorporates Macmillan’s vast experience and success in the design and publishing of English language teaching material. Courses can be tailored to fit curricula and syllabuses and guarantee consistency. Teacher preparation time is reduced and because the English Campus is hosted entirely by Macmillan there is no need for administering supplementary software products such as CD-ROMs or worksheets. Macmillan also guarantees technical and customer support and training material delivered to the institution throughout the life of the contract.
