Most ed2go courses run for six weeks and consist of 12 lessons. New sessions begin each month. Interactive quizzes, assignments, tutorials, and online discussion areas are available via the web, and supplement each lesson. Read your lessons and ask questions of your instructor at the times most convenient for you.

Student feedback has been excellent. A student who took the Creating Web Pages class said, “Being of the older generation, I had qualms about taking this course at home, but I enjoyed the course and felt that help was always available. I got a lot out of this course and will continue on to the next step.”

Let technology help you achieve your goals! All you need to get started is Internet access, an email address, and a web browser. Some courses require the purchase of software.
