Educational Approach

IHOU combines sound learning theory and an innovative, engaging web-based delivery platform to give students high quality content, delivered in Spanish.

Learning Theory: IHOU's courses are designed to put the learner at the center of the curriculum. Competency mapping allows learners to see the relevance of the course content and its mapping to the overall course and lesson objectives.

Innovation: IHOU uses a number of interactive technologies to keep our courses engaging for the learner. Our learning platform allows the viewing all of the course messages and navigation displays in Spanish. In addition, a dual language toggle button is available in most courses. With this tool critical content can be viewed by the learner in both Spanish and English. This allows learners to challenge themselves with the English content at their convenience.

Language: IHOU is the only fully online institution to offer American-style courses with Spanish as the language of instruction. This allows native Spanish speakers to consume important course content in their first language while continuing to work on their English skills. Helping students achieve early success in their course work will empower and encourage them toward degree matriculation and college success.
