Plato

Plato is a computer-based instructional system designed to enhance the learning process and help students reach their fullest potential. Plato provides interactive, individualized instruction in a broad range of subjects including English and math. SACC has alligned many of the Plato lessons to Baruch courses for optimum amount of effectiveness for our students.

Q. How do I go about using Plato?
First, you tell us (or a professor will tell us) what subject and general area you need help with. We will give you an assessment test to see what specific area(s) you need to work on. Once the specifics are discovered, a Plato administrator will select the appropriate series of Plato lessons, load them into the Plato terminals read for your use.

Q. When can I use Plato?
Students are free to work on their lessons whenever they have time, at their own pace, and in private. Students like the privacy aspect. Plato is particularly helpful to students who are still in the process of mastering the English language, and some lessons even have an audio component for students to hear the correct pronunciation.

Q. Can it help me to pass the ACT?
Plato is also very useful for students who need to pass the ACT. SACC has aligned the most effective Plato lessons for students to work on to maximize their chances of success.
