So far we have software. We're using something called A+ Anywhere and Skills Tutor although we've had trouble getting the A+ up and running. We've also encountered resistance with teachers actually using the software, even as an enhancement to their classes. Our goal is to be able to offer classes online for the Adult High school diploma program. I would love to have the GED online as well because their has been interest from the community in having such a class but I've got to get the first part up and running in terms of the AHS program first. Does anyone do an adult high school program online via distance education and if so, how has that worked? Secondly, in regards to using technology in general, how have you addressed training needs with instructors? How have you addressed resistance to the internet and/or computers in general? I'm creating this program from the ground up with only a state provided distance education manual at the moment so any feedback is greatly appreciated. I want to know what works and what doesn't for people and what kind of problems have been encountered and how you over came them. I need any thing I can get :). Regards Katrina Hinson
