EEDW at Your School
|
EEDW is fundamentally a research study to determine the efficacy of strategies for increasing dual credit IT course enrollment within ECHSs. Along the way, we can create new opportunities for student success, and we can provide ECHSs with a host of supports and resources to help their students succeed in their higher education programs of study.

Got Questions?
Yes. Where students can access the online courses is up to you. You can require that they access courses from your school building, such as by establishing times in their normal class schedules for taking the online courses.
No. Students can choose any instructional model that's available from your higher ed. partners. We'll be encouraging students to take online IT courses, but they can take the courses that best meet their needs.
You are able to enroll students in programs at other HEDs, for both online and face-to-face courses, if yours doesn't offer the program you want. We can help you build relationships with higher education partners that have the programs and courses your students need.
