Adult Ed is offering a class in excel this summer - go to sbcc.net and check the schedule for continuing Ed, as thy call it; they also give a class in PowerPoint, but not in the summer. Check out the online classes at lynda.com; there probably is a PowerPoint class there.

Lynda dot com It's a local company that is doing great nationally by offering on line tutorials. You pay $25 per month for unlimited access to the content and you can learn at your own pace.

SBCC is no longer providing value for the cost of tuition if you're seeking vocational instruction. One 3 unit class at the college will cost you about $100 (double that if you have to buy books). At Lynda's site you can complete any number of classes for $25 a month (add $12/month for exercise files) and not have to struggle with parking or deal with the high concentration of smokers who fail to honour the no-smoking areas. The difference in value is the camaraderie with fellow classmates, I guess.

Bravo for private industry competing successfully with public-funded adult continuing ed. We now can reserve our credit instruction tax dollars for young students, where it belongs. Education has now become an industry. Market forces compete with tax dollars. Technology allows bulk information transfers that allow excellent cost-benefit ratios. Teaching and learning face to face still has its important place, but for the younger students or first-time older students. Adults who have already had their turn with public education need to go elsewhere, and let those who need it most get their first chance.

SBCC Adult Ed offers an Excel class this summer for free. Check out their online catalog because someone intentionally gave you misinformation here saying it cost $100. Wrong. It is free.

816, seems to me that Excel and PowerPoint, along with other career enhancement courses, should be available to all (as they are) at SBCC. Adults are also part of the community of the Community College. The quality should be equal — too often the adult ed classes are of lower quality — and the fees/hour equal. The proposed fees look to be more expensive for the adult ed classes, counting the hours the class meets, the lack of rigor in many of them. I would agree that basic/remedial English, math and other courses of material that should have been taught well in high school but seems not to have been should be reserved for the young or others, hoping to transfer to a 4-year college.

SBCC pays Adult Ed instructors $55-$65 an hour -catalog says average is $57/hour. That is why the SBCC Adult classes are expensive. You have to pay the Adult Ed teacher first, which is the biggest cost in any education offering. Other colleges pay $25-$35/hour for Adult Ed instructors. Online education Lynda(dot)com pays once to create the product and then mass markets it for pennies. In reality the $25 Lynda(dot)com charges is high, when you consider scaling out the original investment. This outfit must be laughing all the way to the bank.
