Dear LearningExpress Library Subscriber,
We are pleased to announce that LearningExpress Library, version 3.0 has new resources and a brand new School Center with content aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Highlights of the new resources include:
New School Center On August 4, 2014, you'll see a new School Center. It is organized and aligned to the Common Core State Standards and includes many new resources and features. Resources will continue to be added in the coming months. If your library has a direct link to the School Center, you will need to remove the existing link and replace it with the new link that will take effect on August 4th. Instructions for direct linking can be found on page 3 of the Logos & Images tab on the Administrator link, located in the grey footer of any page on your LearningExpress Library website.
New Practice Tests and Tutorials There are new practice tests and tutorials in the High School Equivalency Center for the HiSET(r) and TASC test, plus new practice tests and an introductory tutorial for the Spanish-language version of the 2014 GED(r) test.
New eBooks & Flash Reviews Our library of downloadable eBooks continues to grow, with new titles in almost every center and Flash Reviews for Nursing Assistant/Nurse Aide, Pharmacy Technician, and TOEFL iBT(r).
New Computer Tutorials We've added PowerPoint 2013 courses for basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, and a PowerPoint 2013: What's New tutorial. This extends the collection of Microsoft Office 2013 products (Word, Access, Project, and Excel) for libraries that have Computer Skills and Popular Software Tutorials. We are also removing older versions of Microsoft Office products.
Updated Products More than 35 products were updated to take advantage of all the new features in LearningExpress Library 3.0.
