Get Ready for a New Name

A new name, a new look, same great services and products for Iowa educators and students.

AEA PD Online will be changing our name to AEA Learning Online. Beginning on October 1, we will be known as AEA Learning Online. This new name better reflects all of the products and services that  we provide to educators and K-12 students.


This means a change in our logo (seen above) as well as new links to the websites.In an effort to streamline this process, our current links will automatically redirect users to the new links.

As we move forward with the transition we will share out the details via our current and our new social media accounts as well as post updates on our websites.


If you have any questions about the transition, please let us know (Evan Abbey at eabbey@aeapdonline.org) or Deborah Cleveland (dcleveland@aeapdonline.org).

Thanks a Million

AEA PD Online is excited to announce that we have served our millionth completed training!

Our millionth training was completed by Tyler Rodgers, interim elementary principal at Harlan and Salem Elementary Schools in the Mt. Pleasant CSD. During 2017-2018, Tyler will be returning to work at the high school as the MOC/work experience coordinator.

This accomplishment represents millions of hours of professional learning and reflects Iowa educators' dedication to ensuring all students experience high quality learning opportunities and environments.

Since AEA PD Online’s inception in 2011, we have provided Iowa educators with online access to professional learning opportunities that are focused on relevant and timely topics. As a statewide agency, we have observed tremendous growth in how educators have been using our system.
