FAQ

What is ITERAN?
ITERAN stands for Information Technology / Education Research / and Networking. It is a new project aimed at making quality information technology training practical and affordable.

Who generates the content?
All content is generated by Steve Weierman, a mathematics and computer technology educator with years of teaching and individual tutoring experience. This content is based on both his experiences as an educator and software developer, and is provided to all students who enroll in a course at no extra cost. All course materials will be made available to the general pubilc via a Creative Commons License.

Why is the homeschooling rate $100/hr, whereas the supplemental tutoring is only $80/hr?
Supplemental tutoring is for students currently enrolled in an accredited institution and in need of extra help with a course they are currently taking. The content is already created by the student's instructor, and it is the instructor's job to evaluate the student's understanding of the material.
Homeschooling requires the private tutor to generate content, purchase necessary materials, and evaluate the progress of the student. Homeschooling consequently requires a great deal more preparation to ensure that the materials meet or exceed the standards set by the New York State Department of Education and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

What courses will be offered?
Plans are in the works to offer a courses on SQL, JavaScript / JQuery for Web Developers, Java Application Development, and Android App Development. Classes are set to begin May of 2013. If you are interested in any of these courses, or would like more information, please sign up for the mailing list.

What makes this different from other training centers/schools?

Will you do my homework and/or take my online quiz/test for me?
No, I will not. You are taking a course to learn, and have your knowledge and understanding of the course material evaluated. My doing your work for you would be both unethical and fraudulent, so don't ask.

About Steve

Steve Weierman has over a decade of experience as an educator, working both as a professor of mathematics and computer science and a private tutor. He loves learning new technologies, and sharing both his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. His students come from all backgrounds and walks of life, and range in age from 8 to 80. View his full resume here.

His experience has taught him that most tertiary computer science curricula fall short of adequately preparing students for careers in the field. He is starting ITERAN to help rectify that problem. Steve believes there is a need to rethink everything about how we do education, from grades, to class structure. ITERAN strives to free education from the confines of school.

His mission in starting ITERAN is four-fold:

  1. Provide practical and affordable information technology training.
  2. Provide other educational services and resources in mathematics and computer science, including homeschooling services and supplemental tutoring services.
  3. Conduct research in computer training education to constantly refine and improve our services. We are actively researching use of inverted classroom, gamification, and other interactive learning methods.
  4. Help professionals make connections with other professionals while learning new technologies. Help educators make connections with other educators.
