Career and Technical Education (CTE) technical requirements

Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses require additional software to provide students hands-on practice with animation, engineering, and other career readiness tools. While we build the download of these programs into the course, it will save time and frustration if administrators or lab managers download the appropriate software before the students first enter the classroom. If students will be working from their home computers, they must complete the download themselves. View Imagine Learning's Windows Compatibility for Career Electives document for additional information. For a list of eDynamic Learning required materials, review eDynamic Learning - Required Materials.

Additional files (rubrics, teacher guides, exemplars, syllabus, course briefings, scope and sequence docs) can all be downloaded from the Course Docs page in the Web Administrator.

 Caution

The CTE courses are compatible with Chromebooks unless there is an additional software required. Reference Imagine Edgenuity Technical Requirements (Courseware section) for more information.
