EdSeal OF APPROVAL In a previous issue of EdSurfDigest our torch shined on Scholars.com's free trial introductory online courses. I partook of The Microsoft Managing Users and Groups free trial course offering. Scholar's courses are a combination CBT (Computer Based Training) with online support elements. The main free course content is available in online streaming or downloadable format. Regular courses are provided on CD-ROM. The main course material was well presented with supplemental daily email questions, helpdesk scenarios to solve and online labs. Friendly live 24 hour online support combined with speedy same day email responses provided a supportive learning atmosphere. Take Scholars.com up on one of their free introductory offering and they'll even mail you a certification of completion along with a informational packet. Scholars.com receives the EdSeal of Approval.
