Q: How can I get access to EbD-BUZZ curriculum for teachers at my school? What are the fees?
A: The EbD-BUZZ version (also known as the MediaRichEdition or MRe) is available on a yearly access basis and is delivered via our learning management system, EbD-BUZZ. The EbD-BUZZ version of each course provides real-time online access to all course updates and additional interactive media, as well as the online pre-and post-assessments. Teachers using EbD-BUZZ are required to administer these online assessments provided in each course. You can gain preview access to any course by completing this form (note: you must first create an ITEEA account in order to fill out the preview access form). If you would like to purchase full access to the online content and assessments with the EbD-BUZZ version, please visit your state page for more information. 
Q: What is the difference between the Standard Edition (SE version) and the EbD-BUZZ version of courses? 
A: The Standard Editions of our courses are static PDF files that are available for ITEEA Consortium States. This content includes a downloadable version of the most recent revision of each course. The Standard Editions do not include interactive quizzes or pre- and post-assessments.
