E.L.E.C.T.
(E-Learning for Early Childhood Teachers)

E-LECT (E-Learning for Early Childhood Teachers) was created by a consortium of fourteen Community and Technical Colleges in Minnesota in response to a need for child development courses to be offered online.

E-LECT is an innovative training initiative in a number of ways.

  • Uses technology to increase the availability of the certificate, diploma, and A.A.S. degrees to early childhood and child care teaching staff.

  • Coordinates the delivery of on-line learning through a partnership among fourteen ACCESS member institutions.

  • Reduces or eliminates many barriers to higher education such as distance, time, transportation, scheduling conflicts, and child care.

  • Increases the A.A.S. degree completion rate.

  • Reduces the time for students to complete their A.A.S. degree.

  • Increases the capacity of family child care providers, child care staff, early childhood programs, school-age professionals, and Head Start grantees to utilize e-learning.

  • Develop and use new and innovative ways of teaching.

  • Models quality, innovation , and change in higher education.

Students can complete their courses from anywhere at anytime of day or night. Thirty-three courses are offered during the 2003-2004 school year over a sixteen week semester. To inquire about any of the courses below, please contact the child development instructor listed.
