Open English Offers 40 Free Licenses to Each LINGOs Member
LINGOs has a contract with Open English to provide 40 licenses to each agency for free online English training. (This is part of the trials we ran with English180/Global English.)
* Each promotional account is available for use by LINGOs member organizations from 2/1/2008 to 12/31/2008 at which time the account codes will expire.
* Students have access to standard Open English Customer Support, as detailed on
www.openenglish.com .
* Students do not have free access to Open English live coaching.
* Licenses are not transferrable. Once a student sets up the account, you will NOT be able to have another student use that license even if they leave the organization.
To receive promotional codes, the administrator for the LINGOs Member agency will need to email Tyler (
licenses@lingos.org). Students must be employees of a member agency to use this training.
To use the promotional code, go to
www.openenglish.com and you will find ACTIVATE CODE on the top of the screen. If you can't find this, we have included a picture of the screen with the exact field circled in the Shared Documents section of this site. If the student registers for a FREE TRIAL they will receive access for 30 days. We cannot upgrade them over so they will need to re-register for the Open English training, this time using the license.
Reporting on Usage: Is provided in our key contacts page only to member agency key contacts. We do not provide you with student details, but you have the rolled up data and raw data to see how the students are doing. You can look up a student by the access code that you gave them. Go to:

Reported problems: Minor problems with English180 have in general been because students don't understand how to log in. If you have a student who is having problems, they can either go to the customer support site at English180 or simply issue a new promotional code and ask them to log in again. (They will lose their student data so depending on where they are.) The other reported problem has been with Cuba banning acces and there's no way around that one!
