Mission Statement/Description
Our instructor-facilitated ed2go on-line courses are informative, fun, convenient, and highly interactive. If you do not have the time, or have physical limitations to attend classes in a regular classroom setting, then these courses are the perfect solution for you. Courses are project-oriented and include lessons, interactive quizzes, hands-on assignments, discussion areas, supplementary links, and more. Courses begin every month, typically the third Wednesday of the month.

Special Admission Requirements
In order to take an on-line course, you will need:
  • Internet access
  • Email address
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator web browser
  • Appropriate software (i.e., Word, Photoshop, etc.) and textbooks, if required
  • Meet prerequisite requirements, if necessary

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each course?
All courses run for six weeks. You will be granted access to two lessons each week for six weeks. Each lesson will be accompanied by a short, multiple-choice quiz, and some lessons may also include a hands-on assignment. You are expected to try and complete each quiz and assignment within two weeks from when the lesson is released. The course will conclude with a final exam. You will have two weeks after your course ends to complete your studies and submit the final exam for evaluation.

What happens if I will be away on business/vacation during part of the class?
No problem! There's a two-week grace period built right into each of our quizzes and final exams. As long as you can live with that two-week time frame, you can read each lesson at your leisure, and complete each assignment when it is convenient for you. That is the advantage of taking an on-line course--they are designed to fit your schedule--not your instructor's! If you start to fall behind, we are more than willing to grant you an automatic 10-day extension at the end of the course. You are not required to attach a reason to your extension request, but we can grant no more than one extension per course. You will be given instructions on how to request an extension when your course begins.

How will I receive my lessons, quizzes, and assignments?
Each course comes complete with an on-line classroom. You will be able to use your web browser to access the on-line classroom and obtain your course material and communicate with your instructor.

Your classes all seem to require the Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser. What about the browser that comes with America On-line?
If you're using America On-line version 4 (or greater), you will be fine. If not, we recommend that you download the free Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser America On-line provides.

Testimonials
"I thoroughly enjoyed taking this course. I work at a middle school with a great number of Hispanic students and this course (Speed Spanish) should help me to at least be able to communicate with the students and/or their parents."

"I learned a lot taking this course while at the same time I thoroughly enjoyed it!"

"This is the first Internet based course I've taken. However, it will not be the last one. I enjoyed the course very much. Internet-based teaching allowed me to work at my leisure. The course was both interesting and intellectually rewarding."
