“The Hannaian Difference” in Education

• HRI utilizes accepted standardized testing (SSAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, Graduate & Professional Exams, etc.) wherever possible to measure the  success of students in course content and in critical thinking & analysis. A “Results Oriented” approach. While education is about collaborative learning, it is also about competition and a “Hannaian Education”is built around both concepts, and designed to produce the kind of results accepted & necessary to compete in the highly competitive modern global economy.
• Our goal is to continue to keep the Brand “A Hannaian Education", associated with only the absolute best in academic quality & achievement. Our courses are designed to bring out the best in each student and produce only top level achievers. Students who cannot achieve at these levels in respective coursework are identified early in the process and provided with the option of completing remedial work if applicable. Underachieving students will not be allowed to delay the progress of those capable of high achievement. Each course therefore has a remedial prerequisite which an underachieving student will be offered if they are underachieving at the end of the first quarter of the semester. The first quarter of the semester in all courses are designed to analyze the capacity of a student to achieve within the respective course work. Those not achieving for whatever reason at the expected level will not be allowed to move forward in the regular course, and would have the option of completing remedial work before re-entering the course in a subsequent semester.
• Special content and features are built into each course, “Critical Thinking & Analysis” (CTA), “Tech Transfer Enabled” (TTE), “Student Group Teaching Opportunities” (SGTO), “Special delivery modes”, etc. which stamps and certifies it as a “Hannaian Course”.
• Our Educational offerings gain their exceptionalism from being Teacher developed and based, and not generically generated and taught. HRI Course Developers and Instructors are either highly qualified academically or by their exceptional experience and celebrity in their chosen field.
• Courses are developed and taught by the Course Developer the vast majority of the time, so that the Instructors in most courses are experts who take pride in delivering their content and tutelage and are not just performing a job teaching a cookie cutter course. Courses are therefore highly tied to the “Apprenticeship Model” where the goal is that the students learn from a “Master” and can functionally perform in the highly competitive modern global environment.
• Course developers and Instructors are integrally involved in the operations of the Institute and receive high economic returns and investor type status for their hard work and expertise in course development and instruction. This ensures the continued excellence and exceptional quality of course development, maintenance and academic instruction.
• There is a focus on the specialization of the course. Each course was developed for a specific purpose rather than to fill out a part of a general curriculum.
• Strict Admission & Prerequisite standards are emphasized in order to get the best and most interested students for each course. Good students help motivate and teach each other and thus improve learning. The quality of the teacher and course developer combined with the best students defines the exceptional quality of a Hannaian Course. Each element is important. Despite what competing systems and opinions may say, the quality of the student and their interaction in the teaching environment is as important as any other factor. HRI strives to bring the best, most motivated and most educationally homogeneous students to each class. Underachieving students are not allowed to hinder the progress of super achieving students. HRI uses its proprietary “Hannaian Student Matching System” (HSMS)to match the level of students to each class. Top students take courses designed at their level. Under achieving students take courses designed and taught at their level until they can qualify to move to top tier courses.
• The Hannaian Research Institute is a research based Institute specializing in Intellectual Property Commercialization, and Academic and International Technology Transfer. Students benefit from this background, expertise and experience in bringing innovation to global markets. Most HRI course developers and faculty are researchers and innovators in the marketplace.
• The Hannaian Education model emphasizes delivering exceptional quality academics, versus the well documented publicly traded corporate model dominated by shareholder profit driven motives, and primary dependence upon revenues generated through governmental financing, lobbying and politics. HRI’s primary role is to facilitate the exceptional research & academic output of its affiliated faculty and researchers.
• HRI’s role in education is to collaborate in articulation, and supplemental curricula with established, reputable, academic teaching institutions rather than supplanting school curricula, managing school operations, and operating its own diploma and degree granting alternative schools. HRI’s resources and expertise in academics is therefore solely focused on producing exceptional quality courses as a “Research and Specialized Course Development & Instructional” Technology Transfer Institute.

The Hannaian Student Matching System (HSMS)

Before being admitted to take an HRI course, a student must provide certain particulars about their education and experience whereupon if deemed adequate they will be admitted to enroll in the standard course. Once enrolled the first quarter of each course is a probationary period wherein the students’ performance in related course work is judged as to their ability to stay current and competitive with the general body of the class. The Instructor shall at the end of the first quarter provide full enrollment privileges only to those students deemed capable of being competitive with the general body of students in the course. Those students not granted full enrollment will be offered the ability to take the standard course the next semester if they complete required remedial work as identified by the Instructor.

Course Development & Marketing Programs

HRI develops unique Specialty Online Courses of exceptional academic quality, either purely Online, or Classroom Proctored Online courses. The Course Marketing Program markets HRI developed and taught courses directly to students, and to institutions and corporations likely to license an HRI Course or Education Productivity Tool. The program is structured to reach two basic markets, Articulated Institutions and Licensed Institutions:

Articulated Institutions

HRI offers students direct access to HRI developed & articulated courses through articulation agreements with specifically accredited teaching institutions. HRI in joint venture with these Institutions will allow any independent student, or a student from any other institution to obtain accredited course work. The student registers for an HRI developed and taught course directly with The Hannaian Research Institute, and receives accredited course work through such Institutions. HRI markets its Articulated Courses directly to students. The Articulated Course program allows individuals or students to enroll in specialty HRI developed courses through an Articulated Institution of their choice.

Students who are enrolled at an institution which is not already articulated may request of their professor, department, or institution approval to enroll in an HRI offered course for regular, elective. research or special credit, and if approved HRI will then enter into an articulation agreement with their institution.

Licensed Institutions

Licensed Institutions license one or more HRI developed courses for presentation directly to their registered students. Students gain access to HRI developed courses directly through their institution, and the course credit is awarded as regular course credit by the Licensed Institution.

The licensing of an HRI developed and taught course to particular institutions involves the opportunity for specific tailoring to an institution's needs. While the licensing may usually be negotiated and accomplished by an HRI Licensing Executive, HRI Course Developers will many times also have the prime opportunity to license their course and education productivity tools. They therefore may serve as primary licensing executives for their courses and tools.

The Market Research & General Marketing Programs promote the recognition and excellence of HRI developed and taught courses, and provide information and assistance to the licensing efforts of HRI Licensing Executives.

Institutions may be licensed to utilize either purely Online, or Classroom Proctored Online courses. Classroom Proctored classes allow an institution to use their instructors to teach an HRI online course and use the materials in any way they choose in presenting the course in a classroom setting.

Institutions and students needing more information or interested in HRI Online courses should contact the Institute at hricourses@hannaian.com.

HRI Classroom Proctored Online Courses afford the following:

• Teacher assisted presentations in a classroom setting
• Reach students who may not have individual access to the Internet or computers
• Reach markets where classroom instruction is desired or necessary
• Allows use of an institution's house faculty
• Reduces cost of licensing fees by use of house faculty versus HRI faculty
• Allows current classroom based teachers to partner with HRI online courses

Pre-College Public Institution Program

HRI has developed a special marketing and licensing program applicable to public Elementary, Middle and High School Academic programs.

Global Academic Markets

The Hannaian Research Institute (HRI) as part of its global mission of Intellectual Property Commercialization, and Academic and International Technology Transfer, promotes and develops unique specialty online courses of exceptional academic quality for the global academic market. The Academics Market Research & Course Marketing Programs are designed to research and market to institutions and students worldwide. HRI's online courses are specifically designed to be adaptable and accessible to any student and institution wherever located globally.

Course Registration & Prerequisite Requirements

The first step in Registration to enroll in SchoolGenes Courses is accomplished by completing the information in both your "Profile" and "Portfolio" in the Profile section on SchoolGenes. After completing both these forms you must then visit the Course/Group that you wish to be enrolled in and request permission to become a member of that Course/Group. The course instructor will then check to ensure that all of your credentials and requirements are in place and you will be admitted or advised of what additional credentials or requirements must be completed.

The Hannaian Student Matching System (HSMS)

Before being admitted to take an HRI course, a student must provide certain particulars about their education and experience whereupon if deemed adequate they will be admitted to enroll in the standard course. Once enrolled the first quarter of each course is a probationary period wherein the students’ performance in related course work is judged as to their ability to stay current and competitive with the general body of the class.

Those students not granted full enrollment will be offered the ability to take the standard course the next semester if they complete required remedial work as identified by the Instructor.
