DiabetesEd Online University is closed today to make the switch to our new platform.
We can’t wait to share our new look with you on Thursday, October 6th.
Students will be able to experience our New and Modernized learning platform starting Thursday! Since we will be busy setting up our new site, Bryanna and I may be delayed in answering emails and phone calls today. We appreciate your patience during this exciting renovation process.
Our main website and shopping cart will remain open.
We invite you to use the following tools as part of your study plan while we make this transition.
• Free Webinars – This page offers some helpful info on test taking and other topics.
• CDCES Coach App – this app has a lot of great tools such as free quizzes that you can use to test your knowledge while the website is down.
• Cheat Sheets – We know that a great resource page full of accurate and helpful cheat sheets can save busy diabetes specialists time.
• Medication PocketCards – Download here to use as a study tool and resource.
However, with any move, there are some details that need to be wrapped up.
If you are currently enrolled and active in DiabetesEd Online University for the past 1 year, you will be able to experience the new platform as soon as we make the switch in October. You will be prompted to create a new username and password as part of the process.
When we flip the switch over, you will notice a new fresh home page, more intuitive navigations, and some additional bells and whistles.
Still have questions? Please email us at [email protected] or chat with us at www.DiabtesEd.net.
More to come! We will be sending you ongoing communications to keep you posted on our progress and enhancements.
Thank you, Beverly and Bryanna
