SAS Education's Extended Learning
Extending Learning offers a beneficial extension of the classroom learning experience to students who attend SAS' classroom, Live Web, or on-site courses."Each of our Extended Learning pages provides students access to the course content and additional learning tools from a variety of other SAS and user resources," says Sean O'Brien, Vice President, SAS Education. "The result is a richer learning experience and one that extends well beyond the last day of class."
After accessing a SAS Extended Learning page, students can extend their learning in different ways such as the following:
- Downloading the course materials PDF
- Downloading the course data (when available)
- Learning more about course topics through extra practice and examples, frequently-asked-questions, and recommended readings, such as technical papers and SAS Press books
- Accessing code samples to discover additional ways to use the software
- Identifying recommended next steps in learning
- Finding additional resources for gaining and sharing SAS knowledge, such as blogs and social networking sites
"When students leave our classes, we want them to know that SAS Education is still there to support them, as they continue to strive to become more proficient with SAS and maximize SAS software within their organizations," continues O'Brien. "Our Extended Learning pages help us stay connected to our students and accomplish this goal."
Students gain access to SAS Extended Learning through the My Training section on support.sas.com/training using special activation codes.
Improving the learning experience has always been a top priority for SAS Education. Our Extended Learning helps expand our relationship with our students by providing them with a rich source of additional information that they can access for up to a year after a class concludes.
