New E-Resources for Students and Job Seekers
Thanks to Libraries of Eastern Oregon, the Crook County Library now provides access to two great resources from BrainFuse. Access these resources on the library computers or from home by signing in with a valid CCL library card. You will be asked to set up an account using an email address and password.
HelpNow
Brainfuse HelpNow™ provides differentiated learning solutions for students of diverse needs and backgrounds.
With live tutor access for homework help, skills building and test preparation students can connect directly to a live tutor from the test center. Because HelpNow is personalized, both the student and the tutor can access quiz questions to do an intensive test prep which may include loading lessons on an interactive digital whiteboard. All live sessions are saved and can be replayed as well as shared with friends and teachers by email.
HelpNow's Writing Lab and the 24/7 Center options give users the freedom to receive assistance at any time of the day without connecting with a live tutor. Users can submit papers through the Writing Lab for a detailed feedback. 24/7 Center is for non-writing assignments such as math or science.
HelpNow offers additional tools such as collaborative, virtual meeting spaces, test prep, and an adult learning component.
