In an effort to assist educators, Piedmont Community College (PCC) is offering online continuing education units (CEU) in the area of digital content.
The latest The Digital Content and Instruction course will be held October 27 – December 10. The first two classes, October 27 & 29, will be held 5:05 – 8:05 p.m. via Zoom. The remaining classes will be online, allowing participants to learn at their own pace.
