Short technical courses and conference workshops, written by experts, peer-reviewed

PISCATAWAY, N.J., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- IEEE, the world's largest technical professional association for the advancement of technology, today announced the launch of the IEEE eLearning Library. The IEEE eLearning Library is composed of nearly 200 short, online courses in core and emerging technologies. Each course was developed and peer-reviewed by subject experts and awards continuing education units (CEU) or professional development hours (PDH) upon successful completion.

IEEE eLearning Library courses can be viewed in the IEEE Xplore digital library and accessed via the IEEE Learning Management System (LMS). The IEEE LMS allows users to keep track of their courses and progress, then print earned continuing education certificates. Users can choose between introductory, intermediate and advanced levels for many subjects, learn on their own schedule, and resume a course where they left off at any time. Courses range from one to three hours in length and include notes, a glossary of terms and a post-test. Topics range from smart grid and biometrics to telecommunications and green engineering.

"IEEE eLearning Library raises the bar for all online technical learning courses," said Steve Welch, Director of Continuing Education at IEEE. "The IEEE eLearning Library is designed to provide professionals from industry and academia with interactive tutorials featuring new and emerging technologies. Our extensive peer-review process ensures that each tutorial meets the high IEEE standard for quality and accuracy."

IEEE offers flexible subscriptions for any size organization, including academic consortia. At www.ieee.org/go/elearning, visitors will find more information, a link to all the courses, and a free trial to IEEE Xplore for qualified organizations, Check the box "IEEE Educational Courses" to request a trial. IEEE is a certified continuing education provider.
