Why watch videos when you can get innovative hands on training?No one becomes a pro just by watching. CustomGuide’s online learning features the industry’s best application simulation and user interaction. Users don’t just watch videos, they click and type their way through the self-directed, self-paced lessons, gaining experience by doing.

The Center for Educational Innovation (CEI) supports Illinois Education Association (IEA) staff, members, and local associations by providing professional development opportunities to improve teaching, learning and all aspects of our professions.
