Online Learning Update
As of March 1, the Milwaukee County Federated Library System will be retiring Gale Courses, one of our online learning platforms previously available to Greenfield Public Library Cardholders. While we continue to research additional online learning options to ensure we’re providing the best possible resources for our community, we invite you to explore two of our other online learning resources, Udemy and Transparent Language.
With Udemy’s video-based, self-paced classes, you can learn on your own schedule and focus on topics that matter most to you. Udemy offers a wide range of courses, from professional skills to personal interests and more.
Transparent Language Online provides a fun and engaging experience for learners of all levels looking to build their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in a foreign language. Equipped with lessons in over 100 languages, including English lessons in 26 languages, there is something for every learner. Additionally, Transparent Language offers KidSpeak, a learning program tailored specifically for your youngest learners.
Both Udemy and Transparent Language can be accessed on a desktop and downloaded as an app, giving learners the flexibility to learn however and wherever they like. To access these resources, visit the links below and follow the steps to create a free account using your library card.
