Some professors use ATS as a text book ad on, use it as blended learning, to compliment their coursework. Some professors enjoy the built in pre and post assessment tools, the ability to monitor their student progress on the videos they have assigned, and also to analyse which content they are having difficulty understanding, so that they can supplement those concepts with additional teaching. The professors that are using ATS is  a HUGE time-saver, because the content is appropriately sequenced, no matter if it is a class on autism, or interventions for autism, and the accountability features, as students know their professors know how much they have completed of the assigned videos!  Also, the media and videos are already done for you to illustrate the concepts you are teaching!

Through thousands of video clips and 40+ hours of structured video-based lessons, students will get to see firsthand the situations that await them in the special education classroom or clinical setting. Not only can they view real life examples from different age groups, they watch evidence-based behavior and teaching procedures being used correctly with students across severity levels (e.g., mild, moderate and severe). Professors receive free access to all videos for use in their lectures.
