<DIV>I went to the webpage and then I reread the e-mail. Apparently, this course
hasn’t been launched yet. It appears that the webpage is currently just a
countdown page, since it was saying “18 days” and was registering the passing
minutes and seconds.</DIV>
<DIV>Just my theory.</DIV>

<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>
