During Distance Learning our adult students utilized their personal devices to interact with their instructors during live sessions, complete program materials, review and utilize their textbooks and workbooks, complete projects and supplemental resources. Online learning resources such as Odysseyware, Nextgen Aztec, GED Flash and/or Side by Side Interactive Activities remained active by using issued usernames and passwords.
