Planning Education at a Distance
Planning Education at a Distance (PED) is an Internet based educational tool that provides professionals and government officials with on-line urban and regional planning related continuing education and for-credit opportunities. Through the integration of audio/video components, PowerPoint slides, and reading materials, PED provides participants with hands-on training to strengthen skills needed to both manage land development through planning and bring new planning techniques to your community. Courses focus on current and emerging issues facing the planning community in Ohio and the rest of the country. The result is a web-based learning experience very similar to the physical classroom but in a much more “on-demand” framework.
All of our courses qualify for Kentucky Planning Continuing Education Credit, while some qualify for Tennessee Planning Continuing Education Credit. Many of our courses qualify for AICP Continuing Education Credit. Many courses now qualify for AIA Continuing Education Credit.
