Etudes Faculty From a Fullerton College Instructor: I have to admit that I was very reluctant to see the features of Etudes...All I have to say now is that I am very impressed and completely in love with this system.
Etudes Faculty Another instructor’s feedback on the training: "This was really a terrific class, on an amazing tool. I have been a user of Blackboard, and this is such a better tool. I am anxious to begin loading curriculum into my Etudes sites.”

Etudes Faculty The Etudes community is amazing! In all the years I've been teaching, I have never had this level of support. What a difference it would have made if I had had access to a community like this when I was a youngster first starting out. Leslie HopeEnglish InstructorLos Angeles Valley College
Etudes Faculty I've grown professionally so much since I started using Etudes. I've never enjoyed my job as much or worked as hard as I am doing now. Leslie HopeEnglish InstructorLos Angeles Valley College
Etudes Coordinators As a Distance Education Coordinator, I love the support that all the faculty get from Etudes. Even though I am very available to them, the fact that they can go into the Etudes Users Group and get immediate help and guidance on their own makes a huge difference. Dr. Wendy Bass, Distance Education Coordinator
Etudes Administrators Our college was on the brink of three years of declining enrollments. When our college decided to go with Etudes to build a distance learning program, we not only got a big college support network, but we got a price that was affordable for our college to move students ahead Diane Rosner, former Dean of InstructionLake Tahoe Community College
Etudes Information Officers My network systems aren't built to deliver 99.999% of reliability on a 24/7 basis. That's the risk! With Etudes, I don't worry. We've been with Etudes for three years now. We have had no down-time and no glitches. I don't get any complaints. That's a good thing for me. Dr. John Wagstaff, CIOEl Camino College
Etudes Information Officers The other thing that attracted us to Etudes is the cost point. Because Etudes is a non-profit consortium, the membership isn't in the business of making money. It is in the business of covering its costs and evolving the product. Dr. John Wagstaff, CIOEl Camino College
Etudes Information Officers And that means, from El Camino College's point of view, that we'll pay less than we would with a commercial vendor - in fact, we pay a lot less. Dr. John Wagstaff, CIOEl Camino College
