Your Online Learning Hub


ALA offers a variety of online learning opportunities from on-demand resources to instructor led training, all to meet your education needs. 

Web-Based Courses

Our web-based courses present the latest content based on two of ALA’s popular topic areas. They combine weekly sessions led by a live instructor with independent reading, assignments, and quizzes. 

  • Six-week instructor-led online courses in human resources and financial management.
  • Classes meet live each week for an hour. Content is then available on-demand.
  • HR1 and HR2 or FM1 and FM2 completion provides the option to earn a Legal Management Specialist Certificate in the respective area.

e-Learning

ALA also offers completely self-paced learning opportunities. The e-Learning courses are delivered via text and graphics, animation, audio and video, quizzes, surveys and games. It presents the latest content on any topic set in a framework of self-directed/self-paced instruction.

E-learning can help learners complete education and training objectives with greater ease and flexibility than they can with traditional classroom-based or web-based learning. When learning materials are online, users are able to access content from anywhere and at any time using desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones and tablets.
