If you thought ALSC only did online courses, you’d be wrong. I mean, we’d appreciate that you knew about our fantastic online courses, but there’s just more to it. We currently find ourselves in heady times for ALSC online learning options. There are online courses, which start July 9, there are webinars, including archived versions which are available for viewing at any time and there is a new brand of online education developed especially for students, called student sessions.
