Planning Education at a Distance
http://knowlton.osu.edu/ped
New program at the Ohio State University offering online continuing education classes for practitioners and
public officials. Planning Education at a Distance (PED) is an Internet based educational tool that
provides planners and government officials with on-line urban and regional planning related continuing education
opportunities. Through the integration of audio/video components, PowerPoint slides, and reading materials, PED provides
participants with hands-on training to strengthen skills needed to both manage land development through planning and bring
new planning techniques to your community. Courses focus on current and emerging issues facing the planning
community in Ohio and the rest of the country. The result is a web-based learning experience very similar to the
physical classroom but in a much more "on-demand" framework.
All of our courses qualify for Kentucky Planning Continuing Education Credit, Tennessee Planning Continuing
Education Credit. Many of our courses qualify for AICP Continuing Education Credit. If you are a member of the Ohio,
New Jersey of Western Central Chapter of the American Planning Association these courses
qualify for the Pilot AICP Mandatory Continuing Education program.
Our current course offerings include
Each of the courses, except AICP Exam Preparation, is designed to take between 4 and 8 hours to complete. Each
course includes lectures from experts in the field, reading materials, links to outside resources, and an on-line
discussion board. At the end of each course the participant completes an exam. Upon successfully completing the exam,
each participant is awarded a certificate of completion.
The AICP Exam Preparation Course is a comprehensive preparation for the AICP exam. This course includes six practice
exams, lectures, on-line discussion board, reading materials, and links to outside resources. Participants have
access from the time they register through the exam period (for example now through November).
