Truly enjoyed how easy this was to navigate and learn from! It was very interactive!

Friedonline courses are easy to follow and are very interesting. I have learned alot taking these courses.

I have been looking for quick, but beneficial ways to further my teaching career, and this was just that!

This course definitely made me more aware of choosing appropriate and accessible design elements when creating resources.

This was perfect. The balance was there. I was able to access the information without roadblocks. Everyone who creates ANYTHING for children (and ADULTS!!!) should take this course!!

I love that this is so inclusive for students with multiple needs. I believe this should be required by all teachers with the world becoming high tech!

Like all friEdTech learning experiences, our goal is to provide engaging and practical learning for all. We strive to make sure every activity is purposeful, intentional, and easily applicable; the time you spend learning won't just be for an audience of one! Each course includes clear learning goals, interactive components, and checkpoints for understanding. After the course, you'll have the opportunity to evaluate your experience and share any additional feedback. We love hearing from you!

DEVICE- The courses will work on all devices, but your best experience will be on a larger screen. If you're choosing between a phone or a monitor - go with the monitor!

Go to friedonline.com and click the “Enroll Now” button. A pop up page will appear and with two joining options.

Join through a site with which you already have an account (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google). This is also referred to as a "single sign-on," or SSO.
Join by creating an account. Enter the required information and create a password. Then, click “Enroll in friEdOnline” and you're in!

If you created an account by adding your information and creating a password (option #2), you can use the “Forgot your password?” function on the Login/Sign up page to reset your password.

If you used the SSO option (Google button and Google sign-in) to create your friEdOnline account, your login information is not stored in friEdOnline and you will NOT be able to use the “Forgot your password?” function. You will need to try logging in with the Google button.

If you have tried both options, you can email us at [email protected].

Log into friEdOnline using the email address initially used when setting up the account.

You'll have course access for a set period of time from the minute you sign up. In general, our courses are available 12 months from enrollment.

Great question! Our friEdOnline courses are:

on-demand (completed at your own pace...we love PD in PJs!)
interactive (you’ll be completing engaging tasks as you move through the course)
comprehensive (a full range of topic info and approaches are provided)
asynchronous (not live) learning experiences that you complete when and where you want. You will receive 1-12 hours credit for completing the courses.

Our Facilitated Online Learning Experiences (FOLĒ) combine digital, synchronous webinars, guided assignments via a FriEdOnline FOLE or Google Classroom and includes templates/assignments for extended learning. During a FOLĒ, you will attend live sessions with real, live PD providers who will walk you through the learning materials, more like traditional “live” PD (except not boring and horrible).

Once you…

complete each lesson in this course (look at the navigation menu and check to make sure each one has a checkmark by it), pass the course final assessment with at least 80%, and claim your course completion certificate, you will receive an email from [email protected] that contains your individual voucher code.

This email will be sent within an hour of completion of this course.

If you don't receive the email please check your junk mail. If you have double checked each step, and still don’t get your code, please email us at [email protected].
