Thanks everyone for the information so far. 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
