Career Ed Lounge is embedded in over eighty professional development portals serving the career and technical education community. Performance Groups in the Lounge are integrated with related learning opportunities offered on these portals. With a few exceptions, Performance Groups are also publicly available to any member of the Lounge to maximize peer-to-peer learning and performance outcomes.
I also feel that these types of schools should have a intro course that students should take to have them stay focused and know how to manage the online learning system so they can hit all of those key areas and also stay on top of annonucements, emails, etc from instructors.
