IEC Note: This offer is targeted for foreign language classroom instruction. The product is a one-year web-based license. Content is accessible 24-hours a day. One student may use the license at a time, but it can be assigned to multiple students throughout the year. Example: Your school purchases one license. ‘Student one’ uses the license first semester, ‘student two’ uses the same license second semester and ‘student three’ uses the same license again during summer school. School funding could come from a foreign language student lab fee. Rosetta Stone has set the minimum purchase at 50 licenses per year. If you would like to purchase between 25 and 50 licenses, contact Jerry Cochrane at jcochrane@iec-ia.org.
