Ed2go
Ed2go offers affordable online learning for adults through a network of over 2,100 top colleges and universities, and other organizations. The course offerings are designed for either personal enrichment or to learn or enhance a particular work-based skill. Each course is instructor-led, and offers peer-to-peer discussions, and practical information. The self-paced courses are accessed online with a new session of each course starting monthly. All courses run for six weeks and are composed of 12 lessons, representing 24 hours of instruction. You can ask questions and give or receive advice at any time during the course. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to download a certificate of completion. Students can get support from fellow students or staff via the discussion area and the site also provides information on financial assistance.
Courses are categorised into 12 broad subject areas, with featured, new and popular courses. Ed2go also provides career training programs which consist of online certificate programs to train for a specific professional skill. Each course page gives an overview of the course, the instructor bio, the course syllabus, requirements and course reviews by past students. The page also features the number of students who have taken the course and related courses. All courses include audi/video and each lesson is accompanied by a short, multiple-choice quiz, and some lessons may also include a hands-on assignment. Students 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 which must be submitted within two weeks from the day the last lesson and final exam are released.
