With your job, your kids, your significant other, along with the rest of your extended family, there is not a lot of time to devote to your own personal professional development. What you need is a wide variety of quality classes you can take at home, on your own time, when it is convenient for you. All of this convenience should be available to you without having to fill your gas tank and straining the family budget any further. UWP Office of Continuing Education (OCE) offers you two distinct types of distance learning opportunities to maximize your personal learning time.
The first type of these classes utilizes Compact Disks. These classes, written by top professionals, are self-paced, multimedia, interactive courseware developed by Virtual Education Software (VESi), and they are forging a new style of professional development for busy teachers. UW-Platteville has 17 of these classes, all developed by VESi and fully approved by the university.
UWP's Office of Continuing Education also offers Web-Enhanced classes. These programs offer you the same convenience and quality. Developed by educators in southwest Wisconsin, these classes are accessed on-line and offer you the opportunity to develop classroom units while taking the class.
Depending upon your needs, both of these computer based instruction approaches will help you meet your personal educational goals within your preferred learning style and time constraints. Review the classes to see if some of them won't help you advance your career and become a more efficient professional.
