| Public Library students can access their Career Online High School courses via an Android tablet or iPad |

Gale’s product partner, Smart Horizons Career Online Education (SHCOE), announced a newly optimized learning platform for their Career Online High School program. Students can access their courseware and learning management system via tablets. The launch will enable students to further manage their online education anytime, anywhere.

The optimized system will be launching mid-April for new students. As part of the upgrade, all video and audio have been optimized to stream on both desktop and handheld devices. In addition, all course features are now accessible without the need of any third-party plugins.

The tablet-ready courseware will be available for all core academic courses, as well as Food and Hospitality, General Career Preparation, Office Management, and Retail Customer Services career courses. The remaining career courses—Childcare and Education, Certified Protection Officer, Commercial Driving, and Homeland Security will be tablet accessible by July.
