Thanks for the information. Basically, from what I've been able to tell (I'm a techie as well and not an instructor), the Plato software includes courses (science, math, etc..) and keeps up with a student's grades and the student's progress. The course listings that I've found have: Advanced Reading Strategies Algebra Business Basics Chemistry & Biology Physical Science Communication Data Skills Trigonometry Writing etc...
