這四個目標和原則指導我們在設計我們的課程：
一，培養熱愛中國漢字
首先，我們希望我們的用戶，培養了中國文字之美和迷死人的愛隨著它們是如何工作的深刻理解。太多的中國的外國學習者學習鄙視中國文字因為陳舊的機械式的記憶教學法。
II。目前內容邏輯
我們的第二個目標是創造一個學習系統，提出了一個合乎邏輯的方式內容，以確保學習者先了解小部分信息將在以後結合，形成更複雜的概念。憑藉堅實的基礎理解學習者也不會成為壓垮後，當迅速學習大量的信息。課程界面和內容的設計，使用戶感受到成功的，覺得自己越來越多，因為他們移動通過我們的課程。我們相信，那種成就感會激勵學生，讓他們每天都想學習中國。
III。從事學生
我們的設計用戶界面時，第三個指導主要是為了使其作為參與我們的用戶盡可能不會造成任何輕浮或分散注意力的內容。我們要展示我們的用戶，學習中國文字並不一定是單調的苦差事。我們的界面和學習活動是基於互動遊戲般的原則，以保持用戶的關注，並給予及時的反饋。此外，用戶獲得的性能為基礎的點，可以跟踪其進展情況，並可以與他們的朋友或同學的友好競爭，互相鼓勵，以獲得積分的全額每次鍛煉。
IV。輕鬆的課堂整合
第四個支柱是指導我們的軟件開發是確保我們的課程可以很容易地集成到教室環境。我們在以下幾個方面做：
1。 我們的軟件產生有形的學生數據，允許講師密切關注每個學生的進步。通過老師的接口，你可以一目了然地看出哪些中國的零部件和字符的學生已完成，學生花費了多少時間在每次運動，以及如何每次練習完成了，怎麼一個學生做了檢討測驗看看。這個數據被安全地存儲在我們的基於雲的服務器，但也可以由教員下載。
2。 我們的軟件是自適應的教練。我們提供導師的選擇無數與一流的學習活動，使我們的中國character學習軟件。
據我們了解，有在書面和口頭中國語言差異;不像語音系統，在知道你怎麼說一個字可以幫忙寫它，看如何拼寫單詞可以幫你說出來，有在中國的書面語和口語之間的脫節。由於這個原因，通常教在中國當然中國人物2個不同的方法：
A.而學生學習口語和聽力技巧，他們同時學習讀，寫中國漢字為自己聽到和說的話。
B.學習閱讀和書寫中國文字是由聽力/口語練習單獨授課。
我們允許教師決定他們更喜歡哪一種方法，並無縫集成到該決定你的類。
除了預製內容的播放列表中國隊的基本知識匯集，我們已經取得了很容易讓教師可以自定義或創建自己的內容的播放列表。這使得教師選擇和安排，他們希望學生把重點放在中國組件/字符內容。
3。 我們的內容是轉讓。不是每個學生需要被使用相同的內容的播放列表。教師可以選擇一個內容播放整個類，或者它們可以分配不同的播放列表根據每個學生不同的學生。
4。 教師可以控制的運動設置，以決定每個組件/模塊字符之內的學生學習練習必須完成，以便進行學生可以選擇跳過，甚至還可以禁用練習。教官還能夠設置和鎖定難度每次鍛煉的程度。
5。 Our software is adaptive for the student. A student can work through their assigned content playlist at their own pace. We understand that some students learn faster than others, so our software allows those students to move through the content as fast as they can. Upon completing the exercises in one component or character module they will be seamlessly directed to the next module in their playlist, and our software will ensure they are doing review quizzes frequently enough. Students can practice the exercises in each module as many times as necessary until they feel comfortable before moving to the next module, and it’s also easy for students to go back and review previous component or character modules.
6。 We have hundreds of hours of instructional content. To approximate how many hours each particular content playlist will take to complete, multiply the number of modules in that playlist by 7-10 minutes (to complete all of the exercises in a component or character module typically takes 7-10 minutes). Our Chinese Component Mastery Courses make an excellent stand-alone, semester-long or year-long “Introduction to Chinese Characters” course that will take the student approximately 47-67 hours to complete. Any of the Chinese Component Mastery Courses will teach the student the 400 basic components that join together to create all Chinese characters. 400 modules multiplied by 7 minutes is 47 hours. Moving at a slower pace of 10 minutes per module will require approximately 67 hours to complete the course. If there is any remaining time in the semester but all modules have been completed, we also have several mass review options to quickly review all of the content a student has learned.
The time needed to complete our various Chinese Character Courses varies depending on the content playlist selected. Learning 200 Chinese characters (and optionally their associated components) from a class textbook playlist will be completed in a shorter amount of time than the Key Characters and Derivatives playlist which contains 4000 character modules.
7. Our web app is cloud-based so that students can log into any device in your school or at home to access their accounts. The ABCs of Chinese is optimized on all platforms and devices allowing students to work from a desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone. There’s nothing to install– they only need an internet connection in order to continue where they left off from on any device!
8. Teachers can quickly and painlessly create and manage new student accounts through the instructor interface. (Alternatively, students can register themselves and add themselves to a student group created by an instructor.)
9. 我們的內容對準“共同核心”原則。在美國的教育體系已經開始逐漸遠離它強調的事實召回。相反，出現了一個推動學生去後更深的技能和學以致用。這正是我們試圖在中國文字的學習帶來同樣的變化。我們想從寫作的線條，猛撲無意義序列的痛苦背誦記憶的做法搬走，並大幅度削減了一遍又一遍。我們希望學生認識到，中國的字符不是一個隨機分類行被記憶，而是一個中國人性格是幾個簡單的象形表意文字和攜帶意義的組合。
10. Our software and teaching methodology is time-tested and has proven to deliver successful results. During our beta release we had over 8000 independent users and schools from around the world working through our curriculum and providing us with feedback. We diligently listened to all of their suggestions and constructive criticism and have incorporated their feedback into this latest release. The ABCs team and our users are very excited with the current iteration of the ABCs of Chinese software.
11. We have straight forward, translucent subscription fees versus negotiating with salespeople. In addition, we don’t have a minimum number of seats you have to purchase, making it easy for you to start a pilot run with only a few students. Please see the Pricing page for details.
