Courses
We are now offering online courses on a variety of topics. These courses may be taken for credit or simply for expanding your own knowledge. Check them out!
You will be re-directed to our Online Learning pages on the larger Texas School for the Blind & Visually Impaired website.
Registration Information
TSBVI Outreach uses two different computer systems to deliver your training:
ESC-Works is the system that records all of the CEUs that you have earned through TSBVI courses, webinars, and conferences.
Bridge LMS is the system that delivers e-learning course content and tracks your completion of e-learning courses.
To register for one of our e-learning courses, and to earn CEUs for completing that course, you must complete two forms:
The first form registers you for the course in ESC-Works.
The second form notifies TSBVI staff of your request for access to Bridge LMS.
