The Online Experience
It isn't unusual to have questions about online learning. We've answered some of the most common here for you. If you have additional questions or need more information, you can ask an expert.
The on-demand and live online courses are very similar to the classroom format. We use the same curriculum and materials, and the same proven strategies to help you succeed on the exam. Plus, you get our course materials and 120 days of access to our online portal, which includes recordings of experienced instructors teaching the workbook modules, an instructor-monitored question forum, and online office hours, where you can chat with a live instructor. You choose the schedule, the order, the location, and the timing of your Praxis® preparation!
The live-online Praxis Core Math prep class is offered online using Adobe Connect, a free application. You need only a high-speed internet connection and speakers or headphones. Check your system for compatibility.
Course materials will be shipped to the address provided when you register for our
course. We recommend registering at least five business days in advance of the course
start date to ensure timely delivery of your course materials package. Registering
within five business days of the course start or after the course start?
Not a problem. Students will be emailed digital workbook handouts for the class sessions
to facilitate participation until their course materials are delivered.
Most online classes are asynchronous, meaning they're pre-recorded or prepared in advance. Students work through the classes at their own pace or are provided with a new module to review on their own each week. Live-online classes are led by a live instructor who is there to teach the class and answer questions in real-time; just like in a traditional classroom setting.
All you need to participate in the live-online class is access to high speed internet on a computer with speakers (or headphones). Our virtual classroom application is Adobe Connect. We recommend that you run a diagnostic test to ensure Adobe Connect will run smoothly on your computer. Please use this link to run this diagnostic test on the computer you plan to use for the course.
