I am thinking about completing some courses with Learners Edge. I am an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. Has anyone ever completed courses with Learners Edge? Any advice on how to be successful with them? I am assuming there is a lot of writing required for the courses. I am a full-time teacher so I will only take one course at a time. I will have the courses transferred to one of the partner colleges.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. Do you work for them?

I have completed two "courses" with them. This was a long time ago - 2006, I think. Both of these were one day workshops held at a hotel or something like that. I had to complete a follow-up paper and the number of credits earned depended on the number of pages written. They did take some work, but these were not difficult other than the time. One of the courses was about managing difficult students in the classroom. The other related to motivating students who lacked motivation. I am not sure how different ESL classes might be. You probably will want to think about which credit provider to choose. My credits came through the University of the Pacific. I don't remember if I had a choice for my credits, but there seem to be several options. I would probably pick Colorado State University Pueblo just because it is a state university.

I would also look into how the course is listed on transcripts. If any of the partner institutions list the course on a transcript as a subject area course and not a teacher professional development course, then I would take that option. Subject area courses are always better than professional development courses.
