10. I heard IDEAL was moving. What’s up?

Yes, that is true. In order to have more direct oversight over IDEAL and the services this website provides, we will be moving the website, content and platform from Arizona State University (ASU) to ADE. We anticipate this move to occur Thursday, June 14, 2012.

During this move, we expect that IDEAL will be unavailable on Thursday, June 14th, 2012 and you will be unable to access IDEAL while we move the website, content and platform. Complete service will be restored by Friday, June 15th.

While this is an exciting change, we realize you might have questions along the way. We have created a special website for this move that will contain answers to many of your questions along with a calendar of events to help you prepare.

11. What about my Professional Development certificates that I could get through IDEAL?

Good question. All professional development certificates will still be available with your current IDEAL login.  There is no change.
