Course Tracking

Literacy On Demand courses are meant to be quick, helpful resources that can be used at any time. No sign-in is required, and educators can revisit them at any time.

Each course has a downloadable course companion that can be used to take notes or answer reflection questions. This also can be used to record stopping points when courses can’t be completed in one sitting.
