<h2 style="margin-left:0in">Online UEB Training!<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>Two new online UEB training projects are nearing completion and should be available this month. These projects were funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and will run for the next several years.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The UEBot (Unified English Braille Online Training) project, presented by Northern Illinois University, is a free course that starts this summer, and will be available for either continuing education or university credit. The course is designed to be a month-long
MOOC (massive open online course) and will cover the basics of UEB in this first year, and then more advanced topics. For more information, visit uebot.niu.edu.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>From Portland State University comes UEB PREP (Unified English Braille through a Powerful and Responsive eLearning Platform). This free course will also start with UEB basics in the first year and then expand its content in subsequent years. The course will
include educational crowdsourcing and use of social media to build networks of users, educators, and families. For more information, visit
<a href="http://www.uebprep.com">http://www.uebprep.com</a>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Both courses are exciting new ways to learn UEB that take advantage of new and accessible technology and formats. There's a great deal of anticipation and enthusiasm about both learning opportunities. Thanks for the project staff at both universities for
their creative ideas and inviting course offerings!<o:p></o:p></p>
