Completing an eCourse

An eCourse is an asynchronous learning tool to facilitate information sharing without the constraints of time, place, or instructor. Within Strive, you can take eCourses at your own pace and refer to course information anytime. 

Some districts use eCourses to provide required annual compliance training.
