Follow up to $5 PDUs

 

After my last post, I realized that I had not provided an update on the $5 PDUs.

The WBT courses provided good review.  There were a couple of issues with downloadable files that were referenced but I could not find anywhere in the courses, and I can't say that the courses have made me an expert in the subject matter, but they are definitely worth the time and money.  I notified the company about the issues and they said they would fix them.

Regarding time, the course presentations took relatively little time.  I think that what took the most time, and makes the courses worth PDUs, is the research you are asked to do in order to answer questions.

The courses seem to have been originally designed for a classroom setting, a format which I would not have minded as group interaction usually adds to the experience, but they still worked.

All in all, if you need a few inexpensive PDUs quickly, this is an easy way to get them.

BTW, I just went back to the website and found 2 more course offerings I may have to take advantage of - 'Managing a Virtual Team' and a 'PPM (Project Portfolio Management) Overview.'  This brings the total up to 26 PDUs at $5 each, with possibly more titles on the way.
