This first module covers FAA Access Menus and Navigation, Global functions, Packaging and Using EDconnect to transmit data. Posted on 04-27-2007 Dear Colleague: We are pleased to announce the first release of EDExpress Basics, the web-based training product that teaches users the basic skills needed to access and navigate the 2007-08 EDExpress and EDConnect software. This module covers Application Processing using FAA Access to CPS on the web. To access them, go to <http://fsa4schools.ed.gov/edexpressbasics> By using the software in a simulated environment, users will gain an understanding of the fundamental EDExpress and EDConnect functions. This training will be a resource for on-the-job training and re-training in the use of EDExpress. This self-paced training is intended for financial aid office staff with day-to-day responsibilities using the EDExpress software. We are releasing this module at the same time as the FAA Access software becomes available for your use. Additional training modules will be released coinciding with future releases of the EDExpress Module. Look for those announcements in the very near future. Sincerely, Claire Roemer |
