Save Gas Money – Try an Online Class at RSU 54 / MSAD 54 Adult Education

RSU 54 / MSAD 54 Adult and Community Education in Skowhegan has a program that makes it easy for adult learners to take high-quality, noncredit online courses, no matter where you are located. Adult Education has partnered with ed2go to offer hundreds of online, instructor-facilitated courses. This is an opportunity for people to brush up on an old skill, learn a new one, or take that course they have always been interested in. Most importantly, students will save money on gas.

All of the courses provide well-crafted lessons, expert online instruction, and interaction with fellow students. Students have the flexibility to study at their own pace, while still having enough structure and support to complete the course. Classroom access is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week from anywhere with an Internet connection.

New sessions of each course run every month. They last six weeks, with two new lessons being released weekly (for a total of 12). The courses are entirely Web-based with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A dedicated expert instructor facilitates every course; pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions.

RSU 54 / MSAD 54 Adult Education offers an online catalog, which provides the most convenient, affordable, and accessible noncredit courses available anywhere.
