Q)
How much does it cost to create online courses at your environment?
A)
There is no charge for creating courses of any type.
Q) How much does it cost to run classes at your environment?
A)
You pay a daily fee when you run an online class. The price depends on
whether you’re an occasional user or a heavy user of the system and on
whether your classes are private or public. Typically, though, it’s less per
student per week than the cost of a cup of coffee.
Q)
How much does it cost to create and publish quizzes at your environment?
A)
There is no charge for creating quizzes. If you make them available to
everyone at our site, there is no charge to publish quizzes. There’s a small
daily fee, however, for publishing quizzes that are private.
Q) What other costs are involved with running an online program?
A)
There are no other fees for using our system. Of course, you must advertise,
administer, and run your program, but this is true for on-site classes too.
Q)
Can I charge students for taking classes listed at your website?
A)
Of course. You can charge students whatever you wish when they register for
your class. Your price does not affect in any way the amount we charge you
for running a class.
Q) What training is required to use your environment?
A)
Our environment is easy to use, and no formal training is required. We
provide help information at every screen to guide you through every aspect
of the process. In addition, you’ll find a Q&A forum at our site where you
can ask us and other system users any questions you may have. Over time, as
we build a loyal community of users, we expect you to learn from others in
the community, although we’ll always be available to help too.
Q) What do I need to access your system?
A) Just a reliable Internet connection and standard Web browser. No
special software is needed.
Q) Does the GOLD Center offer online courses?

No. We do not offer online courses. We do everything we can to help you
build your courses and to make them available to others.
