Who May Subscribe?

The eLearning subscriptions are available for any Western Washington University faculty or staff employees.  Prior to registration you must have your supervisor's approval to take eLearning courses and your department's budget approving authority to purchase the subscription.  Your department will be billed for the subscription at the time you enroll for eLearning.

Library Access Codes

When enrolling as an Individual Member, you may choose one or more Library Access Codes (LACs). LACs are groups of courses that you can take. When signing up for LACs it is recommended that you choose both the NETg, Skillsoft and possibly Risk Management LACs. Doing so allows you access to all courses within the ELN at a lower cost than if you purchased them separately.

NETg Library

The NETg library contains courses geared towards technology related topics.

SkillSoft Library

The SkillSoft library contains courses geared towards business and professional development related topics.

Risk Management Library

Contains courses geared toward safety in the workplace and internet security.

No Courses Library

The No Courses library allows existing users whose membership has expired and do not wish to renew a paid subscription to continue to access courses previously taken for reference purposes. Any time the user wishes they can enroll in any of the paid library subscription.

Library Subscription Fees

When enrolling as an Individual Member, you may choose one or more Library Access Codes (LACs).  LACs are groups of courses that you can take.  When signing up for LACs it is recommended that you choose the NETg,  Skillsoft and Risk Management LACs.  Doing so allows you access to all courses within the ELN at a lower cost than if you purchased them separately.

The registration fee for the NETg and SkillSoft course libraries is $100 each if purchased separately or $80 each if purchased together. It is highly recommended that users sign up for both libraries at the same time.

The Risk Management course library is $15.00 when purchased with either NetG or SkillSoft (or both) and $30.00 as a single library.

EXAMPLES:

• Indidividual: NETg or SkillSoft - $100
• Individual: Risk Management - $30
• Both: NETg and SkillSoft - $160 ($80 each)
• Both: NETg or SkillSoft and Risk Management - $115 ($100 for NETg or SkillSoft and $15 for Risk Management)
• ALL: NETg, Skilloft and Risk Management - $175 ($80 each for NETg and Skillsoft and $15 for Risk Management

If a user signs up for either the NETg or SkillSoft library and at a later time wishes to sign up for the other library, they will receive the discounted price of $80 for this second library as long as the initial library subscription is still active.

The subscription is for the individual, not the department. If an individual leaves a department, their subscription goes with them and there will be no refund to the department that paid for the subscription.

Your department will be billed for the subscription at the time you enroll for eLearning.

The training manager will receive an subscription activation email message at the time you register for a subscription.  The training manager will contact you to get the budget code to be billed for the subscription.

Library Subscription Duration

Library subscriptions are valid for one year from the date enrolled. When a subscription expires you will be given the option to re-enroll.

If your subscription has expired and you wish to just continue to have access to the courses you have already registered for and don't need course access, you may choose the No Courses library. There is no cost for signing up for this library and you may sign up for any of the other libraries at any time in the future should you decide you would like to take courses.

Renewing before the end of a subscription term helps ensure seamless access.
