OMC Music Educators ❤️ C4E!
Prof. Oscar Dames, University of Bahamas
All the music resources, introduction to new topics, examples, instructions, demonstrations were all interactive and the entire course was taught right from the platform in addition to me using the dry erase board for further instructions. Students were able to complete mock quizzes and tests and received immediate feedback before their graded tests. The music course was built to my specification and I was able to hide, add and delete information from the course as the need arises. Technical assistance from the C4E staff was readily available and done in a timely fashion. Using this platform was a rewarding experience for me and I would definitely recommend it to other professors.
Prof Christine Gangelhoff
I've found the OnMusic Companion platform to be a transformative resource, especially for music students in remote locations who normally couldn't access the resources of our main campus. Its flexibility in course customization, paired with an extensive library of music assets, enabled me to create an engaging World Music course that successfully connected students from multiple islands. The adaptability and resourcefulness of OnMusic Companion have been pivotal in simplifying online course delivery and democratizing music education across our island nation.
Prof Ravadia Scriven, Professor in University of Bahamas
I was very impressed with the C4E site, it was easy to navigate. Compared to a textbook, the music courses was much more enjoyable through the addition of videos and listening examples., I was highly satisfied with the site and I look forward to using it in the future.
Dr. Edward Bethel
One of the things that we really appreciated with C4E is that it provided one space or one platform to put all of these different things (music content, assessments, assets etc. )together. And that was one of the biggest, that was one of the biggest advantages that we saw with C4E.
Prof Jerquel Rolle-Forbes
As lecturer, I found the platform and music courses very easy to navigate and user friendly...I also liked that the platform included everything and more in terms of material needed to prepare for instruction. From worksheets to scores, to animations and audio examples and so much more. When I needed tech assistance I always got a quick response and quick resolution.
